HED carbon r1c
hi there,
does anyone have any experience of these frames?
the blurb on the web, by HED themselves, seems to suggest that it might provide an exceptionally stiff ride?
many thanks in advance.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

me too, that's why i posed the original question!
i reckon it would be too stiff for me though-i like my frames a little on the soft side.
I had my eye on this already.....
oh, i thought that was some new fangled aero styling
Never tested one, though just spotted one of their frames on ebay and it certainly looks stiff! Though it would look even better if the seller had taken the foam lagging of the seatube and chainstays.

Be a bit of a bargain if it actually went for £26!
