For this site, I’ve been playing with the comparison feature on 99 spokes which is similar but will check this out as well. Ive thought their were pretty minor differences, but wasn’t sure if the subtle differences were able to be noticed much.

I have the CFO's blessing and the desire for a CF wunderbike but will wait for the supply chain's master link to get reconnected.

. Good luck, I may be in a holding pattern myself. You may laugh but I’m a bit hesitant on the CF for what I want. And before you ask, yes I have a cell phone, cordless drill and have stepped into the current century. Lol but since I may spend most of my riding on non pavement… is this a silly assumption on my part?
