Guru builds custom bikes for riders who want to ride as fast as possible. Period. When my cycle arrived I was almost afraid to touch it. The single-piece, carbon-fiber frame resembles a sculpture by Calder. The Dura-Ace components look like they ought to be stored on red velvet. This isn't a bicycle — it's a stealth fighter on wheels. Four or five pedal strokes send you flying. On a 100-mile ride I averaged 19 mph, painlessly. You'd have to be a little crazy to spend this much on a bike. But after a few miles on this exquisite machine, that sort of insanity is contagious.
