From: Thailand..........currently Nakhon Ricefield, moving to the beach soon.

Bikes: inferior steel....alas....noodly aluminium assploded

nah, don't need to ride it. not with over a quarter million touring miles.
i know pretty much what i like and don't like.

too many negatives to the 920..........i'd have to change
brakes and shifters and bottom bracket and gearing and
seat and bars and them ridikkalous 28-spoke wheels.
and don't forget the thru axels!
when i went through the specs, realized the only parts
i might keep were the stem and seatpost.
paying that much, i'd get a custom steel frame.
only ride aluminium now, as that's all i can get
in my size here in china. is good enough for now.

it's a great bike for the type who want that kind of bike.
i'm not much for posing in front of hooters in mauve
spandex with color coordinated sunscreen.
not for me, and not for real world touring.
