A 55mile spin today and I'm still fresh tells a story all by itself.<br />It's good to see your review after 2000k...the buzz stays.

Thanks.<br /><br />I came from more 'substantial' looking forks - the super thin and wide design of the Funda gave me pause for thought, but absolutely no issues there.<br /><br />I do like my Racing 7s. Bullet proof. I am a heavier guy, so the 7s make a lot of sense as a training wheel - 1 broken spoke in two years of riding. If you are lighter, consider the 5s, that are a bit lighter and better finished for not so much more cash.Powerful Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456467783332176859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472829476251593104.post-38158796070353415512009-11-23T00:03:43.822+01:002009-11-23T00:03:43.822+01:00Nice review...didn't know too much about the R...Nice review...didn't know too much about the R3, but it looks like a great bike. I'd probably have the same chainstay issues as you do, though (large feet, smaller frame).<br /><br />What were your initial misgivings about the 3T fork?<br /><br />And, how do you like the Racing 7s? I'm in the market for some training/racing wheels, and the Racing 5/Racing 7 are on my radar for a budget pair.GhostRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987949431503645433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472829476251593104.post-90551418638349661692009-11-21T16:34:26.582+01:002009-11-21T16:34:26.582+01:00Good call.
