My buddy who "hates'" his Giro 'cause it's too slow, needs a go fast bent, maybe a Strata. He does need two bikes, one for touring and one for club rides. Being behind the pack is damaging his ego. BTW, he's new to bents, having been forced off his beloved df's by doc's order. Thus his lack of enthusiasm.

Glad you didn't sell the Strata before having your epiphany.
