Yes, actually. To a constantly growing degree. Basically, with a bit of budgeting and a decent deal, I may find myself owning one come 2016. I'm thinking hydraulic UDi2 and possibly two sets of tubular(?) wheels. One set for proper grinding/whatever (knobbies 30+mm and up) and a second one (~28mm) for rainy surfaced roads. I like the idea of being able to ride a 'road bike' almost anywhere, any time of year.

I'm not at all familiar with the 12x142 standard, so I dont know what my options are wheels and/or hubs-wise. With UDi2 it will have to be 11s. Any input on this would be interesting. I'm basically thinking carbon and tubular...

Interesting bike and concept.

Got REALLY close to it but went for a Ti bike with rim brakes instead.

I would easily trade my Ti bike for this bike and money (if i had money).

I am also keen on a bike i could use for all roads and most of the season.

Kind of agree with you on wheels/ tires to. You can adopt me TuplaO (DAD :D ) and buy me a bike to!
