Would you care to elaborate in another thread? I'm curious about this perspective. I'll admit I know nothing about bike materials, but it's always nice to learn something new.

When I turn in the loaner I will see what they will sell it to you for since it's used.:lol:

I wanted to take that thing and keep riding, all the way back to my house. I'd be trying to keep it as long as possible if I were you. That and riding the crap out of it while I had it. Got any sick time saved up? ;)

If you want spen a little less than $3000 to get a fast bike. Get some new lighter wheels and tires. Rotational weight is the biggest factor in a quick / fast bike.

I think his whole bike was lighter than just one of my wheel sets. It was stupid light, if you ask me.
