Focus Raven

mattbarnes

In a moment of madness and against my better judgement I nearly sold this. Happily I saw the light and hope to hit the trails with it as often as family life and work committments allow. I've been out a couple of times since buying the frame and its completely different to an alloy frame. You don't appreciate how stiff a carbon frame is until you try it! Anyhow, here she is...

It comes in at 19.8lbs - lovely.

I'm amazed that you nearly sold the Focus :shock: as it does look a very well put together machine .
