Well I had some time to read some of the Fall Concourier today. I have to give Fred a two thumbs up for his article on the new 2010 C14. Fred covered a broad array of topics in his report (with good photos), which covered changes to the new 2010 C14 compared to the 08-09 version. I have to admit that I like the new changes to the 2010 model. I'm not sure if the linked brakes trade off will keep me from trading up to a new one or not since I tend to trail brake when I play. Of course the price to upgrade is pretty steep as well. I have plenty of time to kick the idea around. But this thread is really a toast to Fred for a job well done. I know it was tough on you having to fly out there and suffer through the test. Bionic Bob COG & AMA member First C14 CDA member #0220 2008 C14 & 2003 Mean Streak
