With that geometry you can tell it was designed for the veloldrome.

looking at the road section of the site, of the layout and the fact it is repetitive with more than 300 entries for about 6 different styles at most kills my faith.

neatness counts.

researched the Chi-Carb frames when i was doing my CX build.

pretty good results across the board. most report no huge savings in overall weight, but rather in comfort / not as fatigued.

i opted for steel w/ carbon fork, but nothing i read was a solid negative....

Carbon track on the road is the future. Fixiefadculture all went from NJS / merckx / pretty-lugged frames, to oversized AL tubing, and now... CARBON. The next generation.

No way. Just look at the "BB dorp" and "Head Tube Lenght". Besides, if you have any doubts you can apparently send a message to the supplier, Ms. Pudding...
