The Neil Pryde Bura SL is made to climb. The super lightweight 750 gram frame delivers that golden balance of being stiff and strong in the fore-triangle and bottom bracket; yet surprisingly forgiving on the rear seatstays, to aid long ride comfort.
This season, I have two fairly mammoth climbing challenges: my #EquinoxEversting and the '5 Maratonas Challenge'. Ahead of the first of these, later this month, I wanted to share my current build set-up on the Neil Pryde Bura SL.
