I've been off the bike for the last 6 years after inspecting the underside of an 18 wheeler whilst it was in motion. Not a recommended hobby. Beer+notraining+bad diet=weight.

Back in training. Current and future program is 15-20000 km per year.

Clueless because all the technology is different. I don't trust carbon, and with my new bike weighing about 1/3 of the old crate I'm suspicious. They've got to have made some compromises somewhere, surely.
