Did you finally get the bike and what are your impressions?
I've been eyeing and researching this bike too...There's a guy nearby whose dad got in an accident and he's selling one (2017) in brand new condition asking 1200. I have a neck injury from a car crash, so I'm planning flat barring it and adding friction shifters with Ergon GP5s (BTW, my orthopedist insists I ride carbon).
I like the simplicity and ease of tuning/adjusting the friction shifters.
I do about 75/25 road/off-road and like the fact that it the frame has rack mounts & eyelets. I will be getting some 700c rims first thing.
About the video mentioned earlier-- it shows the guys doing the route, but they appear to be packed very light. I'll have to contact DB to see what the max load is...
Please give us an update eon your experience with the EXP Carbon! THX.
