Hey, Greg, are you going to offer "Pony Rides" on your new steed at the next get-together??? $5 for 5 minutes??? Cheesy

Can you handle the carbon fiber?

Keep in mind the Carbon Aero has a 230 pound weight limit Wink

No, I don't mind at all, in fact, if you want to come try it out Saturday pre-show, I'd be happy ot le you take a quick spin.

Actually, I'm pretty hot to get someone to buy the tica, since Bram has promisd me if I pimp a few of them out, he'll make a shell for mine cheap! So come give it a shot!

Hi Greg,

I understand you're angling the CA for Rando events? What kind of tires/wheels are you thinking of running. I've been pleased with the stoutness of my 26" 32 spoke ultegra/velocity fusion/stelvio setup, but I'm thinking about running something a bit faster. Maybe the stock wheels with Michelin pro race 2's. Even toyed with running the Renn Disk, but that can be a handful in windy conditions, and I'm not sure about the durability. What are your luggage plans? I've been pretty good with the brain bag for warm weather events. An event that required more clothing options might be difficult with just the brain bag.

Also are you planning on the Mar 22nd HCTT on the TiCa or CA?

Take Care,
Nelson.

Outstanding Deal! and I would buy it from you in a heart beat if I hadn't just purchased another bike.
I ride a medium as I recently had a Tour Easy in that size.

Ray you might want to look at it for Angie, depends on her xseam / inseam I'm a 29" inseam about 40"xseam and the medium frame is right at the forward stops for me, so it might be too big for Angie.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Good questions. Currently on the bike are vredestein fotezzas that can run at 175psi!! Shocked

. But I doubt I'll run them over 125. I've heard they're good racing tires. The wheels are the stock velocity I believe. I'll likely put pro race 2's on them. Good enough for Mark Metcalf - good enough for me. I'm definately setting the bike up fo rrando events. I'll likely get a brain bag and a kit to convert the fastback LS to a dual. That plus a bento box ought to cover me enough to get between any two controls I would think. If I have to, I'll get a set of lowracer panniersand ditch the fastback. Don't want to weight the rear with a luggage rack.

I'd like to get a set of aero wheels, but I'll settle for covering the rear wheel with cocoplast and let it go for now - I'm gearing this year with a serious training schedule in mind, and some of the training stuff I want is stupid expensive.
