I purchased the bike in 2014 and have experienced many great adventures with it, including climbing Mont Ventoux. I have also been using the bike on a smart trainer (Zwift) since 2022, and have been using chain wax since around that time as well.

I have never changed the front crankset; the chain and cassette were replaced in 2022.

This bike was sold to me as something very special; in fact, I have never seen this manufacturer among other participants at numerous cycling events (RTFs). I could not find any concrete information about the manufacturer on the internet. It appears to be an Italian boutique brand.
