Made you choose a Lanza?
I wanted a bike that’d give me a good response, with good features and ideal for competing at amateur level. I really like carbon and one day I might buy an Alma or an Oiz, but for the time being the Lanza is just fine.
What’s special about this bike?
I’d start with its geometry: it’s a pure racing bike. We got on well right from the start. And it’s really tough – it stands up to anything. It’s an aluminium bike, really smooth to ride, and after two years it’s going just as well as the day I bought it… and I’ve ridden it some distances! It’s also very affordable, so it’s great for starting out in MTB.
What kind of use do you give your bike?
I ride with friends two or three times a week, about 20 or 30 kilometres. At weekends we’re more organised, and we arrange rides of about 60 or 70 kilometres. Those races where you throw yourself on the ground feeling great about how far you’ve ridden and how tough it was… and when you get home you start planning the next ride. I’ll win a race one day, or at least I’ll never stop trying.
