General Discussion / Re: Touring on carbon
« on: July 14, 2009, 04:32:42 pm »
I know I'm reviving an old thread, and as a newbie I hope that's OK. Someone above, also in Germany, mentioned the Focus range of bikes for touring.
I've seen the Focus Silver Haze http://www.focus-bikes.de/bike_detail.asp?active=1&lang=english&rub=fit&pr=90000189 in a bike shop near Stuttgart and it looks fantastic. Full carbon and designed for touring. However, I don't speak any German and hence can't understand the reviews very well.
Does anyone own one? It's nice and light, and I love the neatness of the design (such as the internal cable routing). I'd love to have it customised (specifically, I'd like to buy it without the wheels and use the ones I currently have on my existing bike) but I think Focus only supplies complete bikes to their dealers.
