>>1987082haha yes, hoping to get something second hand if possible. If I'm gonna buy carbon, may as well go big. I can save like $500 buying (good) chinese carbon instead, so paltry savings. I'm also abit concerned about carbon fractures. So Time's RTM & fiber weave gave me the push to say "its gonna be strong enough if I crash it" perspective.
However, I need a bike that fits, time has like 2 road bike models. If I cant fit it, its all vanity.
