Cervelo Prodigy
Here's a frame that will make you return to a steel frame for it's great ride, or make you never leave to ride anything else. The Prodigy benefits from the extensive design work on the Renaissance and uses it's most important design elements. It uses the same main triangle as the Renaissance, with a slightly altered rear triangle to make the bike more affordable. The result is a frame that offers most of the performance of the Renaissance for a fraction of the price.
The Prodigy uses a custom Cervélo Smartwall tubeset made by Columbus. The Thermacrom front triangle is borrowed from the Renaissance, while the rear triangle is made out of Columvus Nivacrom. Below please find Columbus' information on the Thermacrom material.
Thermacrom is a steel micro-alloyed with manganese, chrome, molybdenum and vanadium. These elements produce a marked increase in temperability, a reduction in sensitivity to overheating which ensures that a fine-grain metal structure will be obtained after welding, more able to withstand fatigue stresses, better characteristics of strength and tenacity and better characteristics of resistance to corrosion and wear. After mechanical deformation working and drawing, Thermacrom undergoes a heating and cooling cycle that gives the steel its particular microstructure. The treatment, which only ends at the time of welding by the frame-maker, enhances the mechanical characteristics of the material by giving it high breaking loads permitting completely safe reductions in thickness.
