carbon fun

we're all made from it so maybe it's no surprise that carbon is such an amazing material. Yesterday i had the pleasure of riding one of Trek's 9.9s that had been converted to one gear. I thought it would be a great bike, its over a grands worth of frame after all, but i hadn't ridden a 26" wheeled singlespeed before and was blown away by how fun it was. Sure it doesn't crush things as well as a 29er but it scoots along nicely and being carbon it rockets away when you put the power down. Im sure over the course of a 2 hour ride, and particularly a rocky trail, it'll be a hard ride due to the stiffness of the frame but by christ its fun.
