Expirience with the Conway RLC FS 7.9

Ludwig Döhl The RLC FS 7.9 is a "die-hard" racer that has been trimmed for maximum propulsion. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Conway RLC FS 7.9. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Conway RLC FS 7.9 has a sporty seating position. There are Racebike in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the Conway RLC FS 7.9 with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for in light terrain competitors to catch up. Conway gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
