Don’t y’all be trying any Bladerunner-style “enhance” software to try and work out what this bike is!

Looks like a Session.

Far better Enhance video mash up:

Sympathise with Hannah’s husband. Took my Campy Ekar – equipped gravel bike on overseas trip by plane. Opened bike bag to find the little thumb gear lever in the bottom of the bag, sheared off the rest of the brake/shifter assembly.

Thank you for using the correct term “champing”, thank you, thank you, thank you.

That Trek looks great, try harder with the pixels next time!

Rack looks pretty cool too.

Another good reason to Never ever buy Campag.  (They’re up there with Rapha for piiish-takingly-expensive + sod all help when (when, not if) it goes wrong.
