![]() There are mounts for that and mudguards, though only a single set at the rear dropouts. The CK7 has at its heart a decent butted aluminium frame, with stays that are chunky and stiff enough to resist flexing under hard pedalling – or under load if you fit a rear rack. The front triple also contributes to the extra weight that the 10kg (22lb, without pedals) Tifosi carries. It needs pressing a couple of times to move the front mech over. So you become more aware of the hesitant downshifts you get with Sora’s thumb button. One small downside is that you use the front derailleur a lot more than you do with a double. You can even climb seated on many inclines. This means you have a choice of climbing gears rather than just one that you desperately downshift into on every 1-in-6 hill. As well as creating more overlapping gears – the cassette is a 12-25T – this usefully extends the range at the bottom end. Instead of the modish compact double found on many road bikes at this price, you get a 50/39/30T triple chainset.
