Amazing...

[Roadtrip]

I had to take the bike in for service this weekend and was browsing the new bikes while waiting. Just out of curiosity I picked up a few of the bikes and compared them to my aluminum frame "cruiser" bike which I bought about a month ago and though was much lighter then the older steel bikes we owned.

Found an aluminum frame road bike that was SUPER light and was amazed. Then I came across the carbon bikes and was just BLOWN away.

Yeaaaa.. the price tag blew me away too as it sky rocketed from the $1,200-1,400 range to high 3k and just over 4k.

Amazing they can make a bike as strong and as light as that. WOW.

That was similar to my dad's reaction when he picked up my aluminum road bike. Of course, other than the kiddie bikes my sister and I had, the last frame of reference he has is the bike he had when he was ten...
