Mark Beaumont's Koga for Africa Solo, on display in Edinburgh Airport

Is that a carbon frame?
I'm sure it's fine and adequate, and I'm sure Koga know what they are doing, but something in me isn't happy about that bike not being steel... Especially after Gaston posting Laner's bike, as a beautiful example of modern functional steel work...

Lighter, stiffer, more comfortable. Makes sense for ride such as Mark's.

Carbon make the most sense if you're not using racks on it.

It's more than adequate for the purpose, especially the severe reduction in weight.
