I am considering putting together a road bike. For long distance rides.
I like the look of Bianchi but I am also considering LOOK's carbon frames as they can be custom built here in Melbourne. They are incredibly light-weight and I am wondering if anyone has experience with them after 1000's of kms. I don't want a bike that is going to snap under pressure.
I realise I won't be doing anything quite as extreme as the Tour de France (not for a while )
But I am not convinced necessarily that what can be bought off the rack, custom or not, is what is being ridden in le Tour or elsewhere.
Any comments, experiences, appreciated.
