Back to basics.

If you spend a few minutes browsing through our copy, then you probably know that we're not exactly purists when it comes to cycling kit. Sure, we occasionally privilege traditional designs and styles over the latest trends in tube shapes and colorways, but we're open-minded about adopting new technologies when they suit our purposes — especially when a manufacturer applies the latest fancy technology to the basics of cycling. More than almost any other bike we stock, the Aernario Basic Shimano Ultegra Complete Road Bike is one of the best blends of tradition, innovation, and solid build kit that we've rolled through our shop doors.


For the frameset, Storck used Computer Flow Dynamics to tease aerodynamic tube shapes out of a geometry that balances the low-weight aggression of compact frames with a nod to the more cantankerous, classic-geometry purists among us. Though it's subtle, the wind-dodging design is inherited from Storck's time trial frames, so it's both invisible to the eye and the wind. And since the module's overall shape and design borrows heavily from the Fascenario 0.7, the aerodynamic benefits don't come with the usual tradeoff of poor handling and unforgiving road feel.


When viewing the frame from the side, it looks like a traditional road frame. However, if you were to take a cross section, its aero shape would become strikingly evident. These shapes are laid-up with Storck's own CFR/UD (unidirectional) carbon fiber. This curated material is the main reason why Storck has so many BOTY awards from the German cycling industry, as the unidirection orientation of the fibers mean that the sheets can be situated for targeted load-bearing properties. This lets Storck stiffen the frame without sacrificing damping qualities and — paradoxically — while using less material for a lower overall weight.


The Aernario features a massive, oversized PressFit BB86 bottom bracket juncture in order to boost power transfer even further, and the seatstays connect below the seatpost clamp to a box junction that effectively dispels road noise and increases vertical compliance while boosting lateral rigidity. The tubes themselves are specially shaped and measured for each different size, spreading different dimensions, wall thicknesses, tube diameters, and tapering across the line to ensure that smaller riders aren't stuck with a harsh ride and larger riders don't end up on a noodly flex machine.


The Aernario Basic comes spec'd with a full Shimano Ultegra drivetrain that we'd suggest is anything but "basic." Personally, we're in love with the precise, smart shifting of the latest Ultegra mechanical kit, but the frame is also Di2 compatible, just in case you catch the upgrade bug. Except for the Selle Italia saddle, Storck's in-house imprimatur graces the cockpit, including the addition of carbon handlebar — again, not what we'd expect from a build that self-identifies as "Basic." The frame is finished with Storck's own Stiletto 340 fork, the descendent of the storied Stiletto fork that first taught us that low-weight, unreliability, and discomfort don't always come hand-in-hand.
