I just paid $2500 for the 2013, Team replica. Love it, went over all other brands. (see other threads)
Makes me feel very special.
Smashing my PB's on Strava too.
Where are you located?

I upgraded from an old Raleigh, wife upgraded from a MTN Bike, she said she never realised cycling was enjoyable until she got on a roadie.
Take it for a 30 min ride, you will know within 10 mins if it's better.

Another Foil owner.. Congrats...
When I was shopping around people were shocked that I didn't like the Giant TCR.Not even close in the flesh IMO.
Enjoy my Foil more everyday.
And Kudos on the Price too, my guy was $2500 firm. But, he did me a great Tiagra full swap out on the GLW bike so can't complain.
Don't forget the gallery, pics or didn't happen!
Merry Christmas

Foils are fast and responsive but a bit harsh on your ass

Yea..me too. I am still waiting for my new road helmet and Garmin edge 510 to come in. I took my first easy ride to work today and smashed quite a number of my strava PRs.Wakatuki wrote:Hey sexy lady................. Congrats. They look fast even when just sitting still.

I do not regret it at all. And after a quick mtn bike ride at the weekend you forget how easily they make you a hero. Ignore the harshness comments I have not found that, however I have invested in good bibs!
Try it I'm sure you'll love it.

It's similar to the sounds you get from a track racing car when the gearbox whines away, the first time you hear it, you think, is this thing going to blow? The price of removing all sound deadening from a car you get a big echo box...
Cmm, any Foil update, or test rides?

Let's phrase it as "Aerodynamics sound"...:p. Those noise is more profound especially on aero carbon wheelsets i guess. Just like the TT bike...Wakatuki wrote:The carbon noise?

lighter drive trains often sound louder. Carbon, titanium and aluminium parts tends to sound hollow compared to steel.

The Foil is loving me too, now i'm getting fitter and faster the bike responds to me everytime and rolls so fast and steady down hill, unreal.
As a heavy weight I ride GP4000s 25's on the rear and when the front wears that will match too, currently factory supplied 23.
Looking to invest in some Hurricane wheels from American Classic. They read very well for heavy riders and a one set type user. Will let you know.
