Description

Novara Verita Bike - 2013

With a nod to classic design, our Novara Verita boasts a Reynolds steel frame and versatile, wide-ranging gearing for a smooth ride that easily handles commuting, light touring and fun group rides. Butted Reynolds 520 steel frame features a relaxed road geometry to offer a smooth, comfortable ride, even on the long days. SRAM Apex group has a compact crankset paired with a wide-ranging 11-32 cassette for the easy-spinning versatility of a triple crankset without the weight or finicky shifting. Shimano long-reach caliper brakes offer confident braking. Schwalbe Marathon tires boast the GreenGuard puncture protection belt, which is made of 30% recycled products; reflective sidewalls enhance visibility for great all-around use. Full coverage fenders protect both you and the bike from wet roads and road grit. Frame and fork feature eyelets for racks (sold separately), making it easy to outfit for cargo transport or light touring. Fork also features dynamo mounting guides for an easy upgrade. Specs on the Novara Verita bike are subject to change.

Excellent

Choose this over the Randonee, as I liked the SRAM shifters and the overall look better. I've taken it on a few hundred miles of light touring so far. I like the ride, it handles high speed descents well, feels solid, and the weight isn't too bad. Shifting is crisp, and the bike has a lovely look to it. It has excellent heel clearance for panniers, and handles the weight of panniers well.If you're planning on doing self-supported touring, I'm not sure the compact/32 rear is low enough. I felt like I needed a lower gear going up 7+% grades with a load. On the other hand, at that point, you're getting to the "get off and walk" stage. If I was planning to go on a long bike-packing trip, I'd go with the Randone

Love it so far

I'm very happy with this bike so far. It's my first road bike so I don't have much basis for comparison but I've been really enjoying it. I've been using it to cruise around town and ill probably do some casual group rides as well. It's probably not ideal if you plan on doing any kind racing. My only complaint is that the fenders rattle like crazy. I'll probably take mine off.
