I'm a men's junior-rider from Denmark and in the season 2013 i'll be racing for a team called Team Middelfart Junior ("Middelfart" must sound so funny in english). So it's some pretty serious racing i'm doing and it takes up a lot of my time.
Unlike many on this forum, my priority when choosing a bike is performance over weight...
Right now i only have one racing bike, as i've picked my former racing bike, a Ridley Orion, apart to sell it. In february i'll get a team bike, and hopefully also buy either a Cervelo or a Walser TT-bike. The bike i'm going to introduce you to, is my nearly brand-new winter/CX-bike - A Focus Mares AX 1.0.
