Embracing the Dark Side...

.....Or the carbon is wonderful / new carbon bike is wonderful thread.

Got a better ride out on the new steed this evening and must say, carbon is bloody great. Silly responsive, quick and comfy. You feel a little surge with every pedal stroke when mashing a big gear. Me like.

Anyone else embracing the dark side for the first time this year?

That's a chamber of horrors site that seems to have half my bikes on it - holding my Colnago and Look 486 v close after seeing what can happen to them...

FFS, not this shit again! Guess fucking what? Steel breaks. Aluminium breaks. Why even titanium breaks.

As far as I know the only safe material that never breaks is unobtanium. Tynan has some but it's eye wateringly expensive.

I wish I had one of those folding Colnagos:
