I would possibly sell the kids to get a Speedwell like that one. I added it to the road bike gallery as it really is very nice.

I first rode a carbon bike in about 1986, just for a couple of miles. None of yer monocoque stuff, this was carbon tubes glued into alloy lugs, might have been an Alan.
Nice to right but it creaked like a front door hinge in Castle Frankenstein! :?
If I had mega-dosh, I'd certainly go for a ti frame rather than a carbon one - didn't Fuji make a ti frame in the late 70s/early 80s?
