Lake Murray SC | In CA I was cycling to Amtrak on an unbreakable Trek 930 w/ slicks and bigger 3rd ring up front for commuting. Found a great deal on a used 2200 Al fame/Carbon fork (everyone jumping on the carbon bandwagon) and built it up over time. It was much lighter, faster and responsive BUT- I just could not find a decent riding position. The more upright MB had spoiled me. If I want to go out for fun I still grab the 930 first...
Race cheap, race faster, Damnit!

Naples, FL | I'm looking for a bike with an ice-cream cooler in front, so I can make money while I exercise... Maybe put some ginglies in the front so they know I'm coming...

“an island in the Pacifi... | I ride one of these. All carbon. How many spokes on each wheel on the bike you ride? That is a great looking machine. Regards, Phill Front wheel 18, rear wheel 20. The latest high end wheels have as little as 16 and can cost as much $2,000 a set. Kinda like a new set of sails. The bike is a great ride. The frame is very stiff in the bottom bracket area but the beam flexes about a half inch which makes for a very confortable ride.

| Thanks, just wondering.
I have 16 on my front and 20 on the rear.
Alloy frame with carbon front forks and carbon rear stays.
I like my bike, it suits me well, but I really like the look or your bike.

Constanta, Romania | Now I fell like coming from the stoneage with my crappy Bulgarian manufactered "Swisse" labeled mild steel framed cheap MTB. But I love riding it. Hell, I'll ride a coffee grinder afterall, riding is great.
PS - can you get more adjectives than those in a phrase ?
Regards,
Florin
