Well my new whip is finally complete!!
Just in time to race in Australia in a couple weeks. Although I may explode minutes into a race that I feel I’m probably not 100% prepared for (gym training and indoor riding aren’t quite the same as the real thing!) I feel this new carbon beast will be up to the task.
And as I untangle myself from a tree, or rock, or race tape at the side of the track, as I have forgotten how to turn left or something like that I will be certain not to blame my tools. Theres no way this bike will be blamed for any of my failings….100% rider error 100% of the time!! Â The CarbineSL will slay all that is thrown at it I’m sure of it,
