Hi all,
I'm very close to pulling the trigger and ordering a YT Capra, but I'm torn between the CF Comp 1 or the AL1. I'm aware there is a long wait for both models, but this is not an issue though as I still have my current rig.
Im pretty sure I'll be needing a size L as I'm almost 6ft, with an inside leg of 33" from heal to groin and quite long arms.
Having never owned a carbon bike, what are the benefits compared to alloy?
After reading up on various carbon bikes, I've noticed a few stories about carbon capra's cracking (just the paint in most cases) Is this a major issue on the 2015 models?
I'm sure both models are fantastic bikes after reading every review I could find, but some feedback from actual owners would be great!
Thanks
Steve
I'm just over 6', with long arms and the same inside leg. The L fits well so I would say go for it. Early days for me but no cracks in the carbon yet. BTW it's bloody great 😀
