I ride in the Tidewater, VA area. It's relatively flat which is good as I never was much of a climber.
RonH, I weighed my bike the other day & it's 24.6 pounds. Son's C'dale is about 9 pounds. The bars, seat post, parts of the seat, running gear, and brake levers are carbon fiber. I've been wondering how the Lotus frameset would do with upgraded components. What do you think?
