I second Brad’s request!
I may be biased, but the CF is our little secret model. It’s the bike with the a true real-world geometry (slightly taller stack and shorter reach than the SLX), and with a standard 1 1/8" steerer, can adjust (and pack/travel to races) with typical ease, allows you to install the cockpit of your choice, and with direct-mount brakes, is easy to wrench. The SLX is the bike we may want, but the CF is the bike a lot of us need… whether it’s due to cost, fit, etc. For most of us, the CF is the right bike.
We still have a few CFs in stock right now in various builds. As a point, we may run out and with long lead times, may experience a gap in availability. And with the end of the 2018s coming soon, we’ll gird up for the 2019s (which ought to be different only in colorways). So… if you’re thinking about a CF and your size is in stock, don’t think too long. It won’t be on the challenge level of the SLX models in terms of availability… but it’s getting there as word gets out about how rad a bike the CF is.
Ping me with any questions as they relate to the CF… or SLX, or Aeroad or any of our bikes. I’ll be chiming in on the Speedmax SLX Owners thread as well every so often.
