First look: Does the Praxis Works Alba 48/32 herald the era of the sub-compact chainset? By Road.cc

Posted by Elite Custom on
They certainly sit up there amongst the most desirable and bling wheels money can buy, but are the Enve SES 4.5 clinchers worthy of their high price tag? We put them to the test for several months.
