If he had been riding a Surly Pacer he probably would have won the race.

That's probably a ~700g carbon frame. Try that with a 700g steel or aluminum frame and the same thing is probably going to happen.

What do guys think of those new carbon frames with a flexible top of the downtube because "who need carbon here ?" ? Am i the one finding them spooky as fuck ?

i wouldn't say it's childish but it's my opinion.

My dad has a cannondale scalpel with carbon chainstays that are designed to flex A LOT. They are attached to a small suspension thinger.

It's very spoopy

For riding a geared, freewheel bike with brakes on a fixed gear brakeless race
