Uh, yeah... Life-altering fast. As in, so friggin' fast over insane conditions (like boulder fields and ruts) where any kind of mechanical or mental mis-step would put you on a life-flight... if you were lucky. Really, it truly is crazy how fast you can go over "stuff" that you'd never attempt on a single.
As for that triple, good on ya for the kind attitude towards others. I knew the Woods had a bike or two, but did not realize there was a squadron of supersonic jumbo jets in such close proximity. After STR 2010 in Alabama, seeing those long bikes pull away effortlessly, I came to realize best we can do is out brake them and maybe carry more corner speed.
Hope it builds well and gives many trouble free miles.

Sneak Peek of the "refreshed" Precision Triplet
After a 300-mile / 5-hour round trip to Washington, Georgia and a short visit with Hill Clarke at AirGlow, our triplet frame was back at home on Friday, May 11th for the first time in about 3 weeks.
As those who were following my blog updates on the paint job already know, the paint job is really spectacular. It’s something of a sinister paint scheme, but that’s what we were after. Unless there’s a lot of light, the bike looks nearly all-black, but when the sun hits it the black cherry on the back 1/3 of the frame really pops, along with the branding. Anyway, here are some sneak-peek shots. Again, until we have a sunny day the real color of the frame just won’t show through.
