Alexander Pietsch | Germany
I am a Velocite sponsored athlete since 2010. I'm riding the Helios frame in combination with the Noir 38/50mm carbon fiber wheels. But without using much words: I love the feeling of acceleration those parts offer.
City: Munich
Country: Germany
Discipline: Road biking, triathlon
I am spending a lot of time in road racing. Usually in the alps with long climbs and fast descents. On long climbs you get a good idea of the stiffness in the bottom bracket area. During fast downhills, the strength of the head tube area is most important for precise steering. In the future I hope to provide Velocite with lots of live testing experience and useful feedback.
