    Flagging you on Strava, that has got to be cheating. That type of picture should come with a warning, safely located in a brown bag on the top shelf

    Wrong thread for that. Such admissions are for this thread.

    There is an IVCA TT league - 10 TTs of between 10m and 50m. May also head up North for a couple of TTs this year. Then there's a couple in the Club League, plus a separate TT League put on by Cuchulainn. And of course there's a few local Strava segments to practice on;)

    Did it on the cheap...

    Wheels and saddle are from my old TT bike - as the wheels are 10 speed the Di2 is "last year's model". They had to put cheaper bars than originally intended to keep the cables hidden. Quarq was a bit of hassle as it needed a special BB adapter and they were out of stock everywhere, which resulted in quite a delay in getting it built. Can't possibly do it justice, but I'll enjoy trying ...

    Got my Canyon Roadlite AL 6.0 today.

    Took a while to sort out but was simple to do.

    The BTW scheme does not care which shop you get your bike from.

    Depends on your job. The way it's run where I work it has to done through the poxy bike2work.com website. No online for me.

    The point Raam was making is it's not the scheme that restricts choice - it's your employer. Anyway, this is a topic for the megathread, not "images of beauty"
