Nah, I never raced. I just have a neat bike!! I put it together when I worked in a cycle shop (you can't beat trade pricing!!). I needed a decent bike to see me through the 25 mile round trip to work 6 days a week. Yeah, there were a few crazy ideas with carbon fibres and composites when they were first being used. I rekon they know what they're doing now. I'll let you get back to your texturing now. Cheers, Mat.
