Carbon bike vs steel knife = expensive and virtually irreversible damage. The carbon weave is constructed for the usual force applied in whatever the intendend purpose is. Any force other than what the product is intended for, will result in "OH MY GOSH!!!" or a trip in an ambulance.

This Trek 720 Multi-Track has a 23"(58CM) frame, which is probably why I like it so much. The seat post was date stamped in 1995. This bike looks more like 16 months old than 16 years old. The Shimano Hyper Drive is pretty smooth. Great for casual evening rides, and great going up steep hills!

You people were supposed to support me with my OCP - disorder. 
Today I decided to replace my red alloy cages with black ones. As from today, this will be the last change...

Bike looks fantastic.
I can only help your disorder by encouraging it seeing as I have the same problem thereby worsening you problem which means your screwed cos most of us are in the same boat which means your really screwed and might have a million dollar bike by the end of year.
Though at the moment it might have not cost a million $ but it looks it.
And shame about the CFR. I wonder if that was made by Vitus it looks like there design and they did make them for Giant aswell as other manufacturers and some of them are classics now.
Bugger it now Im onto old stuff Im showing my 27 year old Ricardo.
Its got the tires off my hybrid in this pic so I say it qualifys for showing.
The chains to short at time of pic so its on the small front ring.

[QUOTE=jbchybridrider;12809134]Wonderful, and I might have to copy the single cage on the seat tube. I was thinking about it before I put the front one on as I never use it.
I only use the back one for my lock in a tool bottle. I'll see. Hmmm,thinking thinking thinking......

My flat bar stable.

Don't know if this works but it is an attempt to attach photos of Specialized Sirrus single speed knobby version and my home built flat bar roadster.
I guess we'll see if it works.

Haha, De Rosa Tango
It's a picture of my bike in a curved mirror. I reversed the image so the logos and stuff wouldn't be backwards. I should have left it uncropped.

Watch out with those spinergy wheels there ... I've heard many reports that they can't take too much of a beating since they were designed for track use and apparently they abrubtly fail sometimes causing serious injuries.
Check the spots where the carbon spokes are attached to the rim for little cracks from time to time.

Most of the problems occured with the MTB version.
Recently of course there have been some bad accidents because as they haven't been made for many years, and it became trendy for the fixie riders around the world to buy them. Trouble is, they buy them second hand through auction etc. and beat the crap out of them. If bought new and used correctly (like all carbon wheels) there shouldn't be problems. As you are aware the road version were only for racing, nothing else.
Many people believe they were banned by the UCI because of accidents. The truth is that ALL one piece carbon wheels were banned from mass start races.
In saying all that, now I use Mavic Open Pro, DT Swiss, Shimano....yummmmmy.
I wanted black hubs, and at the time Ultegra only came in alloy colour, hence the black 105s. Still, they are lovely to ride on.
Now:
