about 1lb-2lbs heavier than most bikes in the carbon/aluminum category.

But the aero dynamics makes up for so much of it that it was banned from racing in events like Tour de France.

Where it's legal, like in Triatholon, it pretty must rapes all others.

Comfort is unparrallel with that seat beam.

If I saw the same one I think those go for like $8xx around some local bike shops here. Is that the same price that you paid?

the one that I have is the Classic.

www.softride.com

I paid $800~ for mines sans wheels and tires, which could be another $800.

Damn, you go all out when you go for a color scheme don't you? That bike is as yellow as the FD is black. I'm still riding around on the 1985 model Ross Mt. Hood I bought in 1986. No upgrades on the thing either, just rebuilds. I worked the summer of '86 with my Grandfather doing landscaping work and my Dad matched me dollar for dollar to buy it for $295. That was decent money for a 13 year old in 1986.
