(Getting really OT here) I never raced against them but I was at a 24-hour endurance race (nelson Ledges) at which my friends were pitted right next to the team that Kathleen Coburn was racing on one year. I believe she had Christian Sarron replica leathers; very cool. I *loved* racing at Shannonville, BTW. What a great track for lightweight bikes!
