Expirience with the Conway RLC FS 4.9

Ludwig Döhl The RLC FS 4.9 is a "die-hard" racer that has been trimmed for maximum propulsion. The moderate 70 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Racebike around under 4500 Euro that would suit you better. Apart from this criticism, the sporty orientation makes the Racebike of Conway the best climber in the price range below under 4500 Euro. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
