Damn indeed.
I was riding with a guy I hadn't ridden with before, a Taiwanese American. His folks are friends with some who works at the factory where BMC and Easton, among others, get their stuff made. He was riding what he described as a tradefair bike, one they make to show off their capabilities to the likes of Easton and BMC, At first I thought it was carbon but it was in fact Scandium and had the neatest welds imaginable. Must try and get a picture because it looks fantastic.

Really like the classic look of the frame. All we need is someone to do curly carbon lugs.

Oh, that reminds me, guys - I need to get my Bob Jackson Vigorelli resprayed after it gets repaired, so what colours do we all think would look good? I have trad metal track pedals and quill stem and bars etc, and standard metal box section wheels rather than any deep V monstrosity.

apparently the tubing is "TT- Shovel handle DT- support beam off a horse trailer, ST- Columbus SL, HT- section of a late 90's Nashbar Mag Trainer. The chain and seat stays are Deda Replica Zero and part of an old chair, respectively. "

gbx- is that tubing list for real? i mean, part of an old chair and shovel? granting that the alleged metallurgical properties claims for many bikes is pretty useless, this seems pretty silly. part of an old chair is probably not even cro-moly ("mild steel")?

you are not likely to be disappointed! i know the whole 'stiff but compliant' marketing talk is pretty cliche at this point but it really lived up to the hype for me.
they were going to let me take a Di2 tarmac out as well but 36deg celsius heat had me retiring to the drinks tent, heh.

Am kind of hoping that Evans still have some knocked down streetfires in my size when I'm next eligible for ride to work. Am supposed to be getting a cheap pub bike but...... They're so pretty.....

Ah, but Chris, if you get a Streetfire then the Felt *becomes* the cheap pub bike :)

its clavicula, the vampire crankset that lusts for your blood. when the chainring folds or the crankarm snaps, you break your clavicle and bleed everywhere, thus sating the ghoulish desires of the undead.

I'd ride the 30-year-old carbon frame (well, I wouldn't, it'd probably crumble) but doesn't the new Arsos machine just look like a standard carbon bike with that bloody awful branding?
