If the sizing for all Battaglin frames is the same, I bought a Large size Battaglin Racer frameset and its fits perfectly (the Large is 55cm equivalent, and I usually ride 56cm). I'm 6ft with a 33/34" inside leg and ride with a 110mm stem and a long seatpost so i'd recommend this one rather than the Medium.

The spec states Xenon, but mine came with Veloce shifters, brakes & front derailleur and a mirage rear derailleur.

this months issue of the bike buyers
guide not only has a full photograph
of this bike in black but also a full report
on it as well which is full of praise

No

it comes with basic flat pedal but it's optional to use these as they aren't attached. Any pedals should go on no problem though if you wanted spd's or similar

Unfortunately that is correct! a little strip of vinyl will sort that out though :P

I have just purchaced one in white but they also do it in black or is it dark green.

Yes, we supply basic black plastic platform pedals which you should really replace with a pedal system of your choice.
