I did it. Bit the bullet and bought a new Kuota Kaliber. See pics. I did one short ride and not sure if it's me trying harder or the bike but my 18 min ride is now 16.5 minute. I think both me and bike for now. I still need final fitting and personalizing but.... Sure is nice!
I spent some $$$ on a new felt b 12 this year and there is no way I'm keeping it in the garage next to all my junk.
Put that thing in the house man!! Its a piece of art not some junk..
