Agreed. I rode with Dave and his friend Eric earlier this year for
some 40 miles during an Or Randonneurs 200k. Dave is really friendly
and was very encouraging. It was my first brevet and it was great
getting to pick his and Eric's brains. He seems to have but a lot of
thought into figuring out what works best for him so that he can have
a positive experience.

I was wondering about that too. I saw that his new bike has a straight
carbon fork. I was wondering if maybe the angle of the HT was such
that the fork works to give him the desired trail.

Including bib shorts? Weird. Be careful.
