Usually on road.cc we'll follow up a first look feature with a full review... and although you won't actually be able to by this bike with its exact livery pictured, we thought the special edition Tifosi x Campagnolo Mons frame with Bora WTO deep rims and a full Super Record Groupset was way too pretty not to share.

Review: Campagnolo Record 12-speed Disc groupset
Review: Tifosi SS26 Disc Potenza
You can't actually buy this bike with the Campagnolo-branded frameset; although you can buy a Tifosi Mons frames in stock colours with exactly the same spec, or switch up the spec to your liking/budget by buying from the various retailers who carry Campag components and Tifosi bikes. As Tifosi's distributor told us: The Campagnolo Mons is not for sale, it's a test bike that is designed for customers to test Campagnolo 12 speed systems and from that, can enjoy a 25% discount on various groupset/wheel combination packages from Campagnolo Pro Shop Dealers.
"There is no difference between the standard Tifosi Mons frame and this one other than the paint scheme - if they really wanted that same ride setup, we at Tifosi really love to push that customising element of our bikes, so can very easily build the same bike as the test model."
The Mons in renowned for its lightness, with a modded version unveiled in 2017 weighing in at just 4.6kg. The test bike tips the scales at 6.84kg, and that's with inner tubes and an 11-32 cassette; the WTO wheels are tubeless ready and Campag also do a 11-29 12-speed cassette, so the weight could be trimmed further.
The groupset is the mechanical, rim brake version of Campagnolo Super Record (the electronic version was launched a couple of months back) and the rims are Campag's new 60mm deep Bora WTO's. Here's the full spec list:
Tifosi Mons frame, Campagnolo special edition
Campagnolo Super Record 12 speed groupset (mechanical, rim brake)
Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 wheels
Deda Elementi Superzero handlebars and stem
Deda Elementi Presa bar tape
Schwalbe Pro One tyres (clincher, 25mm)
Prologo Dimension saddle
The standard Mons in the exact spec above would come in at £7,349.99 - but if you buy from one of the Campagnolo dealers who has bought into the demo bike scheme, all the Campag components on that bike will be subject to a 25% discount - bringing it down to £5999.99.

The first generation CHPT3 items made in concert with Castelli were fantastic quality, and when purchased on sale were a reasonable investment. I...
Theres not one scrap of self-help among drivers is there, it's always someone else's issue.
Oh dear. A single bike in a single size in one shop is not indicative of the entire UK market for bicycles. And the slump isn't just bikes, it's...
Ridiculed or is it just jealousy?
Thank goodness for that. I don't suppose anyone would want you to. You certainly behave like one though.
You do see some utterly ridiculous examples of car use....
Exactly. Every road death is a tragedy but this is at the "twat deserved it" end of the spectrum, looking at the state of that car.
I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.
I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.
