    My steel Schneider just became my backup ride. I received my November Wheelhouse frame earlier this week. bobswire gave me a tip last fall and I followed up on it. The only carbon I had was a couple of headset washers. The frame looks good out of the box. I saved enough on the frame to piece together a DA 7900 group to go with it. I will post pics next week when it's built up. My 1st new bike and new components together in 24 years. It will be a fun weekend.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of carbon. Enjoy the new ride.

    "Riding is about rhythm and flow. It's the wind in your face and the challange of hammering up a long hill. It's the reward at the top and the thrill of a high-speed descent. Biking lets you come alive both in body and spirit."

    Carbon - hey, steel has a lot of carbon atoms as well. Not straying too far from the fold.
