i know for sure that another lbs does carry both brands..
they exactly got attitude when i corrected their info about 7.9fx being currently offered.
after looking it up, they seemed to remr that it was killed off because it weighed more than 7.7 fx.. because the carbon frame had to be much thicker.. this exchange was w/ the manager.. previously, i weighed a 7.6fx frame -- 26.7 #
i was also told that different levels fx frames geometrys are diff... jeebus..
seemed like the stupidest thing i ever heard but i dont care so i didnt care..
they said they have a 7.9 fx frame in the store. by all this time i dont care what they have, not gonna do business there.
maybe i shouldda asked how much and what size tho..
its a good thing the 6 shops i went to dont need my fan support..
probabilities say that im now @ 86% to buy through nets.. just acuz i cannot support these lbs and i only have like 1 more to check..
short version == does anyone know how much 7.9 fx weighs?
no biggie
thanx
wut?
This give me headaches.
