I want a fast minivan!!
Nah, seriously, 500 grams extra weight doesn't matter much, but chainstays under 430 mm will. I just want the bike to be fun to ride and have that speedy feel like my old Miyata had (to me). I'm thinking a Cooper CMT fits the bill and I can get the frame 20% off with free shipping to Sweden directly from Lynskey. Is this folly?
And by the way - which fork would you buy, to go with it? They offer two steel and one carbon (without front pannier racks of course).
Not to mention this being only a frame and a fork... I need to read up on all kinds of components! I'm drowning.
