Fiets se gewig

Vir 100k sal ek verwag dat 2 sweedse supermodels my orals ronddra. 

Sorry I kinda read that in english. 2 swedish models must carry you orally. I do apologise for my dirty thoughts in this case.

TitusTi, I was thinking the same thing

[Grapkas]

I think Scott is going too far.  I saw the prototype at the Argus Expo and would SERIOUSLY not feel comfortable riding on a bike that light! Imagine you go through a pothole or hit a big rock!!! It will snap in half like a chopstick!! I like trusting my equipment while racing, decending & sprinting. My Trek weighs in at about 7.2 and i am more than happy with that!

[TitusTi]

Yeah Grapkas, agreed about the one at the Argus Expo, the problem with this new one is, all these are good solid performance components, all of it built up intelligently to an an insanely light package! I think they're just trying to upset the UCI and their sometimes silly laws.

I wouldn't even trust many of the currently super light frames (maybe with the exception of Litespeed).. Being a big boy means needing strong equipment. Hence riding a 9k Litespeed.

[Marius]

besides, that Scott looks Ug!!! and it's only going to make you 19seconds faster over a flat 40km TT 

[Jason]

every second counts...  ala LA

[Grapkas]

Exactly!! The main thing is feeling safe and trusting your equipment! When you race you can't hold back and i am sure i am going to be sh*t scared of going over a peble and breaking the fork half the time!

[Marius]

8kg for me is fine, I'm not going to waist any money trying to make it lighter, it'll be silly imo.

[scotty]

Correct one needs to feel safe thats why the Scott carbon is the strongest and lightest around (test done by EFBe )

It don't give me that warm & fuzzy feeling that titanium does

Oh ball man, why are they the biggest??? Cuz ppl pay them a crap load of money to give BS results. If those results are not verified by at least 5 other in depended Labs/Universities I have no reason to trust them. We talking billions of $$$ HERE!!!
