    Copying the thread over on cycling, stick up a pic of your bike. The more pimp the better.

    Here's my roadie back when it was cleaner than clean. :o
    Still has remains of last race sticker on I haven't got around to hacking off yet.
    TT bike gets most of the attention these days.

    Tri Bars are long since gone.

    A bit old skool, but has been a faithful servant for the past few years....

    I have the same E7 but still on the original Bontrager rims. Do you find a big difference with the SRAM's or other race wheels?

    Nearly killed myself in the cross winds in Abu Dhabi, but at least I would have looked good crashing on the bridge...

    No doubt they spin faster, but in high winds you can spend a lot of time fighting the bike, so any gain can be quickly lost.

    So do you think 50s or 60s would be better suited to Irish races given there's nearly always a wind blowing?

    For some reason our firewall blocks your pics Izoard. Had a look there on my phone. They're the same wheels CW has except in grey. Did you source them locally?

    I said that to Nigel - now maybe it was more because he wouldn't have had any other sizes in stock but he said once I got used to it with a couple of spins it wouldn't be an issue at all.

    * He was also looking at my keg though when commenting on it

    Well, it was my first time out on them, so I was very cautious, but when I started to brake, the problem started getting worse- I need to pay attention to the brake blocks as well.

    I've enough ballast that the s80s shouldn't be a problem, so I'll keep practicing...

    Sourced them on CRC eventually...

    Good job you just lurk on slowtwitch. Photos should be of the drive side, chain should always be in the big ring.

    Paint your skirting board and your saddle is too high :)

    Does plugging in your back wheel increase your FTP?

    I thought it was for the heated saddle!

    On this topic. I was once told when posing your bike, valve stems should also be hidden by the forks, but what is the optimum show position of the cranks?

    A lot of comedians on here today:)

    Bike position isn't terrible considering your on a kids bike.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,077 ✭✭✭Bambaata


    Funny guys. You'll be glad to hear Tunney that i will have the black one next Monday ;) They were all out of them when i returned the trial one today so only a few more days on the green one.

    I was actually surprised by the pic. Its the first i've seen that gives me a decent indication of my fit. It really does look small alright but wasnt as bad as i expected! I might have something else now mopping up the funds i was putting together for a new frame so i could be on it for another year or so.
