Nice, and with 10-year guarantee. 33s + fenders, please. $5,300 -- could be
worse, but although I expect that CF is (in itself) an excellent material
for some bicycle parts and for frames, I expect that, for my riding, the
52% premium over top of line steel isn't worth the savings in weight and
(possible) improvement in strength.
I do have to say that, IMO, in the "pretty" and the "cool" categories,
steel wins hands down. ("Cool" since steel has all that "Coppi rode it and
so did the ungainly, brutal, peasant-stock hardmen of steel back to 1903*"
history.)
*1st Tour. I know that it was used before 1903.
