De fiets is steeds zeer goed onderhouden. Sinds een jaar staat de fiets ongebruikt binnen wegens aankoop van een nieuwe. Alle cassettes zijn in 2019 vervangen (Shimano Ultegra). Lichte gebruikssporen aanwezig, maar technisch in orde.
Laut Bikeradar:
"The holy grail of bike design is race hero stiffness with La-Z-Boy comfort, and everyone thinks they have the answer. However, only Museeuw Bikes use carbon mixed with flax – a plant whose fibres are used to make bank notes.
The company, started by 1996 world champion Johan Museeuw, is founded on the premise that this new material blend can revolutionise ride comfort with its vibration absorbing characteristics.
The flax-carbon frames are made in much the same way as conventional carbon units, except the raw material first has to be harvested from a field then threshed, retted, dressed, spun and woven before the 21st century tech joins in.
The new range, first unveiled last summer, uses flax-carbon in every model. The entry-level MC-6 has a carbon fibre main triangle with flax-carbon stays and fork for extra damping. ‘Entry-level’ is a relative term, though, and the £2,800 MC-6 is head-to-head with such established stars as Trek’s Madone 5.2 and Specialized’s Tarmac SL.
The MC-6 is a handsome bike, with neat internal cabling in the shapely structure. (...)"
