I did not want to post there because I don't think the bikes compare well and I did not want to go to the Serotta board and say that. I can really compare the CSI to the Independence best since I have owned a CSI that was built to do touring on to the Independence I now ride. The IF rides smoother and is stiffer as well as being joy to ride the paint is as good as the Serotta paint-flawless. I have also ridden a Ti Crown Jewel and currently own a Serotta Ti that I am trying to sell. I am not knocking the Serotta when I say that the Crown Jewel really does ride just as good and handles faster, although some riders would not like that.

I own a CSi and I believe it is a remarkable bicycle and is very stiff and responsive, with an excellent compliant ride. I have seen some IF bikes, but have never ridden one. I saw a tig welded steel IF several months ago. It was asolutely gorgeous and the welds looked beautiful.I would like to ride one, one day.

They are so smooth they are hardly visible.
