Juno admiring my bar taping skills. (Actually it's a bit slap dash.

Nice bike (and dog). I had a CFR2 for awhile, underrated bikes IMHO, and undervalued.

Is it the same manufacturing process as Vitus?

 

[winjohn]

I believe the alloy joints were made by Vitus and the carbon tubes are glued in place. Sometimes they fail.

You’ll not want to be tearing down some alpine descents then in case some rebinding occurs….

Since I have managed to reach my 70th year without tearing down any Alpine descents, I guess that is unlikely to happen. I am more worried about cattle grids at 10mph.

Agreed, or deer jumping out in front of you in my neck of the woods.

They're everywhere aren't they? Muntjac, Chinese water deer. Not to mention our native species. We have small (conifer) forests and the Broads. They're a real danger unless you're driving. Even then they cause real damage, and injuries.

My friend's wife was walking in the woods when she came across a deer. It stood its ground rather than running off, so she decided unwisely to get out her phone and film it. It is hilarious to see the deer running straight at her and the phone go flying!

LOL. Weirdly, I took the Marinoni out for a spin today, and on the return leg there's a big left hand downhill section. I told myself I should cover the levers, just in case. Then a van passed me, only to slam on the binders. I did the same, just as a young deer ran across the road.
