Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I travel the four corners of the interwebz regularly. I have seen the Vol. Apparently, he has sworn off Fukushima sea salt.

As a service to ls01, we have slowed the volume of posts in this thread. I suspect he got caught up in about a minute and a half today.

Since you don't start work for a while, let's set up a few tourist trips. First up, the new Gigantex factory in Beitou. https://www.cycletaiwan.com/shop/inde...d=75&Itemid=73

With the November and Boyd owners now here, along with Rob, there's a lot of interesting wheel info on BF.

I remember Rob saying he uses the Gigantex rims, but is testing another one that I think is being used by Boyd. November is using someone other than Gigantex.

For tubulars, the Boyd 50mms are hard to beat at 1300g and $775. Two year warranty and strong enough for the fat kids.

Think of the possibilities. You could buy an unbranded carbon frame out there for cheap and then all the bits directly from Gigantex. I assume it'll cost you a fraction of what a bike would cost you in the UK and if you paid attention, you could easily have a very light bike. How fun.
