I just picked up a 2009 Kuota Kredo Ultra recently. However, I haven't had a chance to really ride it yet.
I noticed that the top-tube and down-tube are kinda thin. When I press down on them from the sides, particularly the down-tube, I'm able to compress the carbon frame horizontally.
For those with the same bike, do you guys notice the same? Also, do you notice flexing under heavy load?
Nice bike. I've felt similar with other Kuota frames but it isn't just with Kuota. Other lightweight frames also will be similar with a pinch test. With these, it has been discussed to not sit on the TT. Enjoy.
If you have questions
Tino Chiappelli is on RBR so you can post in the Other Builders section with any questions or PM him: tino.kuota@gmail.com
that sucks, not being able to sit on the TT. TT's the perfect spot to sit on when your legs are sore and you're having a break with other buddies, having a chat and all. =(
