Intended Use

The intended use of your bike or frameset is

CONDITION 1 / HIGH PERFORMANCE ROAD.

For riding on pavement only

CONDITION 1 / HIGH-PERFORMANCE ROAD bikes and framesets are designed for riding on a paved surface where the tires do not lose ground contact. They are not intended to be ridden off-road, cyclocross, or touring with racks or panniers.

Material use is optimized to deliver both light weight and specific performance. You must understand that (1) these types of bikes are intended to give an aggressive racer or competitive cyclist a performance advantage over a relatively short product life, (2) a less aggressive rider will enjoy longer frame life, (3) you are choosing light weight (shorter frame life) over more frame weight and a longer frame life, (4) you are choosing light weight over more dent resistant or rugged frames that weigh more. All frames that are very light need frequent inspection for cracks that would indicate that the frame is worn out from fatigue. These frames are likely to be damaged or broken in a crash. They are not designed to take abuse or be a rugged workhorse.
