Title: CA 2.0 sighting?
Post by Killer Bee on Apr 21^st, 2009, 4:41pm

Funny thing happened today while I was in Austin. [smiley=chinscratch.gif] A CA 2.0 just happened to attach itself to my bike carrier ,& unbeknownst to me, was transported back to my garage in Frisco. It immediately befriended our exisitng Bacchetta's(Strada & Corsa SS) in the garage(actually taking over the garage,must be the Alpha bike). [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Now,I to test ride this dream machine. [smiley=rolleyes.gif]

Here are a few pictures:

Paul is right. Steve and Pegy both are going to KILL at the TTTT. Everyone is going to have to fight over who gets to be their partners this year!

Negative. This is John' bike , it will reside in Frisco for a while(so he has bike to ride when he comes to visit for an LSR ride ,etc...), but it's a strange coincidence that John & I have the same leg length. JS would like for me to ride while it resides here. Oh,twist my arm!

I rode the sweet machine on a 21 mile interval training session. Holy crap, it pedals/climbs effortlessly. Very fast bike(easily over 30 mph without trying).

Here are a few pictures:

Yes, Steve passed that white car . He looks sexy in blue [smiley=wink.gif]. The bike didn't have a computer so we have to guess his average speed, but while I rode with him I had a 21 MPH ,and he was always out in front of me by as much as 1/2 mile. When he rides this bike I will only see him at the start of rides , wait that happens now. [smiley=lolk.gif]

John"s got a great bike . [smiley=dbanana.gif]

We'll have to ride together soon and switch off so we can compare it to the carbent!

That's awesome Steve. Remember "its' not about the bike".

You deserve the success my friend as you are truly a humble, sincerely, outstanding human being.

Ray ,thanks, but all I'm doing is storing a CA 2.0 in my garage. Thanks should go to JS(for entrusting the bike to us for a while).

Yes, I would be up for that. This pre-production version of the CA 2.0 has 650's , the production model will come in either 650 or 700.
