New ride

Happy days, sorry for those offended by road bikes

Looks fast, enjoy!

Nice, looks good – someone will be along soon to point out that a saddlebag is against “The Rules”, you can safely ignore them unless you’re a pro rider with a support vehicle…

I’m quite enjoying the dark side of things too.

Cheers guys, rob that’s some sort of voodoo, how did you display it?

Great bike the S1, i had four years racing one into the ground before some sub-human half inched it. Your saddle looks slightly depressed though, and chain on the big ring, where is your pride 🙂

Brant – what are those wheels?

Surely you mean “sorry to..” ? 😉

Brant – what are those wheels?

Some samples we’re testing. They weigh the same as our standard 50mm ones, but feel more “comfortable” and seem “faster”. They are twice the price though. But that’s still quite cheap compared to everyone elses.

Nice advert, Brant.

🙂

What’s in the bag that you can’t put in jersey pockets?

Cheers Brant, they’ll be tubs then.

“What’s in the bag that you can’t put in jersey pockets?“

Judging by the size of that bag I’d guess a full change of clothes and eleven tins of Ambrosia custard.

Just picked up a lapierre xelius 200 for meself and a sensium 300 for the GF

At what angle should the forward curve be in relation to the stem? in the photo there it is level

Aero frame and aksiums? Nice though, i’m craving a t3

Prefer the saddle bag for the improved aero, at greater than 25 mph if you have stuff in the rear pockets it disrupts the flow and producers a low pressure at the rear of the bike, this can add 50watts to your effort.

Cosmic carbons aren’t very aero 😉

Yer knackers

Need a reference for a bold statement like that.

It’s a mucking joke!

Wee bag under the saddle means I don’t need to locate the bits that SWMBO has “put away” since I last went out. I get on the bike with only food and drink to worry about.

Ditto. 😀
