as far as "training bikes" go that's pretty sweet!

That's a nice "Training bike" as the Scandinavian cook said 😉

Though the bars look a bit "ape" for the frame?

Thing is they do a lot of work while the race bike sits there all week. And it only cost me about £700/800 all in. The chainset is a bit OTT for training, but it's a compact and so no use at all on the race bike.

That's just the image. They're fine I can sit in them all day. Look at the size of the lever in comparison. 😕

How come I have a gazillion tyres, handlebars, chainsets, brakes and not a single bottle cage.
Time for big post-it note on the dashboard.
