Trying to find some skillz...
I'm a 6'2" 225 pounder that is currently riding a Fetish Cycles Velocita (alu with carbon seat stays and fork/Ultegra 18spd).

It might just be me, but this bike doesn't seem to climb or accelerate as well as some other bikes I've owned (Giant CFR Team, Airborne Zep). Is this the wrong choice of frame materials for me?

My fitness is good, although physiologically I'm not the "ideal" roadie body type. I carry a lot of muscle and my aero profile is a deficit. This bike just doesn't seem to allow me to put the power down.

Curious for your thoughts...thanks.
