SHARP

 
Carbon fiber is super sharp once cured. Little knives and daggers of carbonium have sliced me up on many occasions and this was no exception. I nearly dropped Risheeta's frame and sliced my thumb on some fresh carbon as I caught it. Ouch.

Built up

I got Jerry's bike put together with a Force grouppo last Wednesday at the shop. I didn't have enough of a chance to take it for a "real" test ride, but my lap around the block at night told me that I had put together a reasonably good bike. I think that I was able to capture the snappy handling and smooth ride of my own road bike, but a little bit stiffer and a little bit lighter. Jerry was happy to have it finally done, and it looked really quite sharp with the Force kit and Richey finishing items. I didn't have my camera, so I don't have any pictures of it fully put together, but hopefully I'll get those along with a 1 week report from Jerry.
