Speedmachine 00 LTD

For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. The strongest influences are all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On paper, aero efficiency is a major part of the speed feel here. All else equal, it's tuned to feel quick when you push the speed.

Overall on climbs: 1.1/10. Within Road bikes, it sits near the bottom. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 43.2 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~2% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

As a triathlon bike, with a 10.0/10 aero score, with very deep wheels (~85mm), it’s very clearly optimized for windy, fast terrain especially on fast flats and windy days. Put simply, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The triathlon tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. Even with a more relaxed fit, the overall package still leans strongly toward speed once you’re riding fast. With rims around 85mm deep, the wheels clearly lean toward an aero setup. That rim depth is a classic aero-leaning choice for faster riding. Tyres around 28mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. If you ride at higher speeds, this is the kind of bike that’s designed to pay you back for that effort.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. It feels this way because the bar sits about 93 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 549 mm in total (long). Plan for roughly 38 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

In Road / Triathlon, The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts, and Detected system keywords: ICS. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Ride comfort is 3.2/10 — on a real ride it feels firm. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and narrow tires usually mean higher pressure, so more buzz comes through on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 138% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 2% of them. Quick reference: €24.152 listed versus about €10.146 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. Tires around 28 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
