I am the old man that has purchased an Apollo Artec R [see Another Happy Apollo Customer....My Old Man, jimonabike.blogspot.com] & what a bike to ride. The Sram Red works really well & not to hard to adjust from Campagnolo Chorus shifters. It has to be at least 3kg's lighter than my old A90 Gios. The Artec handles really well in the corners & everywhere else for that matter. It took some time adjusting to the responsiveness when riding in a bunch, I tended to over correct when a rider moved in front of me. I also found it smooth to ride & accelerated quickly to keep up with the other riders in the bunch with out to much effort or lag. I have had the Artec R for 4 weeks now & still get excited when I stomp on the pedals & it rockets forward without any delay. I am impressed with its performance & looks. It just looks sweet too.
A very happy Apollo customer.
