Stolen by any chance? Would you lock up a carbon frame bike like that? Looks like a good way to put a stress riser in to the frame ready for a breakage. Ace

One of many stolen TT bikes around town these days. Saw another (A Quintana Roo) just the other day. The rider on board was clearly not the person who had originally bought such a specialist piece of kit.

****s.

Probably belongs to my embarassing mate. He started doing Triathlons as a sort of kick up the arse to get fitter. Didn't own a decent bike, so probably went out and bought one of those and now rides to work on it as part of his fitness regime, because he doesn't have anything else and doesn't know any better. Actually, it can't be his, he cycles wearing a climbing helmet.

yeah, I think the only sense that it is stolen will be that it was bought from the pay packet 'earned' by a bailed-out investment banker. at least they haven't gone for the top of the range helmet.....

that lock must be heavier than the bike!

the lock should be made out of feathers, polestyrene and some sorta lightweight sellotape. Then the photo would conform to cycling photostandards 176342 issue 24b/5. and be properly weight balanced and correct.

nobody thinks it odd to see huge, heavy, massive tyred full sussers locked up on roads/pavements tho!

Not far off, he works for BP at their HO in the city, more money than common sense.

That has to be a candidate for Cynic-Als BS of the week thread. What does it even mean???
