Uhhhh . . . ya, I would.

This was Alex Morgan boosting his BCD Inedible (a bike he hand-built). BCDs were burly-tough and super-light. They really were the most cobby, incredible machines I've had the pleasure of seeing up-close.

Alex was pretty fast on those wagon wheels. He took 3rd at the 2005 Masters Worlds and a respectable 19th in the Elite (pro) at the '07 National at Angel Fire. Seeing first-hand just how much punishment his creations could take without a whimper made me a believer in the toughness of CF.
