Kestrel Talon road bike
I am think of a Kestrel Talon road bike it seems like decent deal with
what I am looking for. Road bike in CF and has a 53/39 crank looks like a sweet bike wonder if anyone out in the newsgroup has ridden one? Has exactly what I am looking for with specs and just cannot get one like this anywhere near a LBS. If any of you have taken one for a ride I would be curious I have read the reviews but this group sometimes stays on track. -- Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church |

Sorry, I have never ridden any carbon fiber bike (though I think I can sort of imagine what it might feel like), and I know this isn't what you wanted to hear: I recommend a trip to the city with every kind of bike under the sun. Ride them all. Reflect on the experience for a week or two, then do it again (maybe another city this time - with different colored bikes). Maybe do this a lot. Maybe bring your own wheels and tires along and ask if you can test ride with those (for reference). Eventually you'll get a bike under you that leaves no doubt. |

As long as it fits you, I think it would be a fine rig. |

What can I say, its a bargain for what I paid and rides as solid as a rock and looks sharp. Now I need to shave 30 seconds off my 40k time to get under the hour again (I'm 60). Phil H |

Deacon Mark, may I respectfully suggest that you pray that God teach
you what is a complete sentence; how to avoid run-on sentences; and how to use periods after each complete sentence. That way my brain won't hurt when I read what you write. Amen. |

I do write in long sentences I have read too much of St. Paul. SO what about the bike? -- Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church |

I do write in long sentences I have read too much of St. Paul. SO what about the bike? The bike??? The bike is carbon fiber, so it will have a "carbon footprint". That could/might/may contribute to G****l W*****g (Which may or may not exist!!!). Seriously, it looks like a good value for what it is - a bike very much oriented in the direction of a race bike - with all that that entails (limited choice in tire sizing, no chance of mounting fenders/ racks, 'quick' handling', etc.) Is that what you want in a bike? Do you compete? |
