Welcome, Gert-Jan! Your name reminds me of Gert-Jan Theunisse, the Dutch pro from way back when. Loved seeing him race.

As for beach racing, is it hard-pack sand, or soft? Racing on soft sand sounds like it could be really tough!

Thank you for that compliment! :) We have a ride which is named after him here in the Netherlands. It's called the Gert-Jan Theunisse Classic. I'm 22 years old and so I'm too young to have seen him ride.

You're right with the fact that beach racing can be demanding for a bike, but mostly it will be hard-pack sand.

My name is Gert-Jan from the Netherlands.
Here we have beaches and in the winter we can ride on them :)
For that reason I'm looking for a new bike which will be used as beachracer.
I already asked my first question in a thread :)

Hello Guys,

I'm new here and would like to order a workswell WCB-M-062 or the new version. But I have a few question about the frame.
At the site of workswell there are 2 frames:
New version:
http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/223.html
Old version:
http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/149.html

Are there experiences with the new frame? Can I order it without the chance of early braking? Which frame do you recommend?

I'm a bit afraid if the frame will go well with my weight of approximately 200 pounds. I will use it as a beachracer so it won't be used in heavy environments.

Greetings, Gert-Jan
