I was bored today, so I went looking at bikes and stuff.

[fossyant]

Yes, I found out the hard way.

Nutter !

Sounds like it's been bought for Strava racing

This is true. I once got binned in a TT for having a " non regulation drink system". The names I called them began with W, and ended with "anchor".

Bert? Seems an odd name.

You should get one of these as well....they are just dreamy:

They had the latest one of those as well. Lovely bit of kit, but it didn't light my fire as much as my one.

 

[Pale Rider]

The bike couldn't be further away from what I ride.

But anyone who buys top-notch kit gets my vote.

Good job, well done.

 

[Racing roadkill]

If you really did get it, I'd love to know what you think of it over say 50 or 100 miles.

I'll find out in March.

No sleeves when riding it I hope.

 

[Racing roadkill]

Have you got some longer triathlons lined up for 2017? Perhaps a half ironman?

Not my bag. I just ride them on non hilly routes. I thought I had learned my lesson, clearly not. They are generally not permitted in organised events ( outside of TT / triathlons ).

I particularly like that they've made the frame out of recycled newspapers. Very green.





Actually, it's quite nice.

I have a ( battle scarred )trisuit. It's about time it made an appearance.

 

[Slick]

I have always admired someone not afraid to swim against the tide. I hope you did get it and you enjoy every back breaking mile. Well done.

 

[fixedfixer]

Actually @Racing roadkill we are all very envious. - enjoy it, looks and I'm sure rides brilliant.

The competitors and the organisers?

the concept and the execution?

 

[dan_bo]

I like it by the way. looks rapid in an Allsopish kind of way.

There's a bloke up the road who's a triathlete. He looks quite lean and rugged, which could of course also mean he's a ex member of the SAS but the giveaway was him rolling out the drive on an absolutely spanking Cervelo TT bike. I don't know which one but it was so strikingly ugly it was bound to be a good one. Of course he could still be an ex member of the SAS but he's one who does triathlons as well.
