For me anyway….. Although the bikes are partially covered…. Leaves a little to the imagination (wink)

Tour divide rigs

Nice to see a couple of Brit bikes in there…..

No one is using rigs any more.

They’re units now. As in, “check my sick unit, just dropped.”

Do try and keep up.

Also…functional bikes, but…

*voms*

Wow! So e lovely stuff there! Can’t believe the single speeder!! What a thing to do, amazing challenge, well beyond my abilities!!

Plenty of Salsa Cuthroats in that montage..

I looked the idea of the TD but wonder if they’d provide some 5* Hotels and secure bike parking..

And Rig?

What an odd name for a bike.

Units….pah.It’s all about the whip.

That’s where all the Maxxis Ikons went.

Rigs… Units….. Pah, who cares, just words.

An amazing experience, 3 weeks, give or take, in the saddle….. The sights must be incredible.

More here from the year before….

Tour divide rigs/units/no one cares what CF says

@bikebouy – that was my thought, then again the Cutthroat was designed for the TDR so no surprise so many use it. Greg May who posts on here used one a couple of years ago

Hahaha!
They’re worse than triathletes!
Wonder what he keeps in his frame bag? His Chiropractor?

3 weeks, give or take, in the saddle

The sights must be incredible.

Yes, unforgettable. What’s been seen cannot be unseen…..

However the most impressive is this one:

belonging to Ashley Benns who became the first person to do a quadruple TDR in one go 😯 Oh, he’s from Manchester – the English one.

I’m sure there are some lovely bikes there, just wish I could see them, not buried in luggage…

Thought a Jones Plus might have made the start line.

Thought a Jones Plus might have made the start line.

That’s not all the starting line up by any means, probably 1/4 to 1/3 of those on the Grand Depart.

The guy from Hawaii had a lime green Jones plus….. 7th from top on that page.
