  • Why just ultra cycling races?

    Lemond TDF steel bike etc.

    Its 2016, there is no need to use steel/ti for racing unless its a preference.

    good fit, confidence in the bike, being easy to replace components if needed is...

    ^ also possible with carbon

  • It's possible with carbon, but currently proving tricky to find something suitable (e.g Diverge with stupid hubs/axle standards). Just throwing stuff into the mix that ticks boxes and isn't huge ££££...

  • Carbon has nothing to do with it, discs are making things complicated as the whole experience is not refined and in early stages. But Hippy needs discs.

  • Thanks, I'll have a look at everything. It's why it's proving so hard to pin a bike down though :)

    Fuck it, I already have hydro brakes, just need to lose the carbon wheel...
