Just a heads up for anyone planning to take the high speed train (KTX) from Seoul to Jinbu who hasn't reserved tickets yet, a lot of the trains are starting to sell out. Easiest way to book is through Korail website or download the mobile app. Both are english friendly.

Hey all, I can finally take off my very sneaky blue tape camouflage to reveal that yes, I’m reviewing the new Nomad.

Can't wait to listen. Matt and Steve are always a great listen. Matt said his "race craft was REAL rusty," so I'm obviously excited to listen to and savor his suffering, mistakes, and foibles.

Very good look for higher pivot frameworks from vital g-out pics. can see at neko's bike the main pivot way above the chainring, while on gwin's bike its lower and behind chainring/guard. also noticed gwin had no chain but running ochain, maybe wanting to repeat leogang? that must feel amazing!!
