Carbon Warning!! THUNDERVOLT M1 - 'BentRider Online Forums

Gorgeous looking bike. Shame I could never justify a carbon one myself.

...and I thought heel strike was an issue on my bike! You'd need some serious skills to keep your feet out of the way whilst turning that baby, and god help you if you wanted to do it with the brake line or chain attached. My guess is its all lean, and very little steer.

I assume size adjustment involves Isopon and a hacksaw?

I'd have thought isoflurane would afford a better finish. Can't keep still with all that thrashing about.
