"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

I think the Vita is/was their tri bike and came with aero bars. I don't know if that would make it incompatible with commuting, but it does have the same geometry as the regular Dolce.

Ohh, awesome, I totally didn't see the archive there... that definitely helps!
Fredwina that is the one I'm looking at, but it looks like the center metal thing is not on it anymore.
And yes, the new model name totally threw me. I knew it must have some sort of present day comparable...Last edited by hipersons; 05-04-2008 at 12:28 PM.

The term for the "center metal thing" is an areobar here's a pic showing how they are used. as the name implies, you use them to get a more areo position
