I am still totally in love with the C40. It's the best feeling C.F. bike I've ever ridden. I did back to back 50 milers sometime last year on all 6 of the old C.F. bikes and the C40 stood out as the best. I bet you're going to love it.
Thank you, James! I do believe you're absolutely right and my wife and I are thrilled.
I'm glad to hear the C40 is still tickling your fancy. I've got a 2013 Look 675 that handles as sharply as anything I've swung my leg over and is relatively comfortable, but the lack of adjustment for the integrated stem ended up wearing on me after several months of riding during the 2022 season, so I put the bike away and it's been for sale on and off since then, pretty much going to the first person who can make a reasonable offer!
I don't expect the C40 to be quite as reactive to power bursts as the Look, but I'm sure it'll make up for it in many other ways. As long as I can drill out fast rides on it during the spare afternoon or weekend hours, I'll be happy!
In the spirit of the thread, this solo ride on the Look 675 wasn't quite 19mph, but I hope the distance makes up for that a bit!
