Probably a stupid question but...

[vickster]

are there any carbon roadbikes which take a fixed rack?

Or are there any light alloy / carbon bikes (sub 10kg) that would soak up bumps, holes, rough stuff as well as a carbon road bike? And take a fixed rack My flatbar is pretty darn close, was wondering about road bikes

My titanium Enigma bike is superbly comfortable and is as light as carbon. I imagine there are a few carbon audax bikes that'll take a rack and 'proper' mudguards. I think Pearson do one..

Cheers RB58, don't think my non budget would run to titanium

I have a Pearson carbon, but more their sportive, I'll look at their site

Cripes costs more than titanium I think! That would have to be an N-2

Take a look at the Pro6

Sub 10 kg in the build they sell, but you could get sub 9 kg if you build it up yourself. A real do it all contender.

The Giant Defy. (Or Avail.) Mine is M/L size and 9.3kg at the moment.

I have the avail but compared to the whyte and Pearson it is bone rattling over the roads around here. Wanted to know what would be more comfortable
