I have to say it is really hard giving KOS advice or discussing anything KOS-related without it sounding like a humblebrag.
For you especially, to be fair.
I got a new bike that way I could never, in this lifetime, afford.
Better than enticing you to eat donuts
I had some earlier
Saw one of these babies at my LBS today. The pic does not do it justice the way the light plays off the colours. Beautiful looking bike Cap’n Sir. Have you had it out yet?
Noooooo…it’s still clean and new. Currently on the indoor trainer while pumpkin bike takes the brunt of the early spring slop.
Took it out today. So very light and nimble/twitchy. It wanted to go waaaay faster than I did. Going to be no problem throwing it around a CX course.
I mean, I may die, but that’ll be my fault, not ghost bike.
Twitchy is the polar opposite of what I want in a bike (hence my Domane) but even on my old Focus Mares, I sucked so bad at CX cuz I was slow as SUF on corners, often unclipping a foot. My power on straights was great, and I was pretty good at running up stairs, jumping barriers and remounting but, as you know, corners are everything. My bike had decent capacity, I never did.
You’ll kill it when the time comes!
Yeah both my CX bikes are way better than me.
Hmmmm…methinks you’re being modest, while I’m being honest.
Ha! You’re being kind. I’m just saying - ghost bike has won national and world titles. I’m not doing that anytime soon.
TBF he WAS pierogi powered.
I know right!! In his dad’s (not me) old skinsuit. Just got stronger and faster the following year.
Hahaha that is AWESOME Sir G!
