Its the first "real" roadie bike that fit me enoight to ride an hour in work clothes! LBS owner thought I had either stoled it or gotten hit! So I don't know if they its taboo for it to have a carbon fork. Nice that it does though.
I doubt I put more than a light weight read rack and bags for a change of clothes, snacks, and biking survival gear in it. I'm going to be riding some centuries on it nxt year.
Thanks for the brief on them.
