Carbon fiber bikes

I've fallen in love with these bikes. They're sculptural, anatomical. This one, at the low end of the scale at StudioVelo in Mill Valley, is around $3K. These guys carefully fit the bike to the rider.

I'm looking for a used one. Can't justify this much expense right now. Having one would get me out on the road; perfect cross-training for running, no knee impact..

Any cyclists out there 5-7", 5-8" upgrading to a new one, selling old one?

Great to see how bike engineering has come on over the years. This post inspired me to search for a Joe Breeze interview on You Tube. I watched a TV program a few months ago showing guys in the 70's racing down Repack. Fascinating to see how the off road bikes have evolved too.

Cool bike. Seat doesn't look too comfortable tho... When I used to bike for exercise, all my lower back pain went away.

Hope you find a nice used one!

Hey Lloyd,

My brother will build you a custom superduper bamboo bike that is of similar weight, more durable, half the price, and wood!
He's a bike mechanic and I just went and test rode one of his bikes and they are way beautiful!
I'm trying to figue out how I can attach a picture but it doesn't seem to happening. How do people send you pictures?

I just posted a couple of pics on my blog (rarely used) http://mosewilliams.blogspot.com/

Hope all is well and thanks for all the inspirations.
