Not a racer here ...yet, I've been hit twice by cars and have ridden 6 times from San Francisco to Los Angeles on my Soulcraft Custom Road Bike (Champy Chorus Groupo 10 Speed) ...and it's still going strong.
Owned a Salsa before the Soulcraft. And now, I'd give all my money to Soulcraft! Good local "Petaluma people! Great Custom Frames.
Thank you, Soulcraft
