This stunning bike belongs to a friend of mine. She's a runner, and used to do triathlons. This was her race bike. I rode it today, and was greatly impressed with the balance and handling on a bike geared to the TT / Tri crowd.

Cathy's Y-Foil #1

it's for sale, if anyone's interested. At the end of next week, I get to do the clean up, tune up, check it all out work. I'm really looking forward to getting this on the rack.

Best,
Frank

I can't find a weight limit on Rolf's website, anywhere. but yeah, they are pretty light, something like 1800 gm/ pr., and don't have a lot of spokes. Others have said that they are also really stiff wheels that beat you up on rough roads more than other wheels. Are there any smooth roads left, anywhere?
