Ultralight carbon fiber/epoxy road bike from Kestrel

Kestrel is the first name in carbon fiber bikes, on the strength of a lengthy list of bike-industry firsts that include the first-ever production carbon fiber bike frame (1986) and first all-carbon mountain bike frame in 1988. Recently, the company unveiled a new version of its Talon SL road bike. At $3,699, it isn't
