    Is there a bell on the S5 with the spacers?

    Yes.

    I think it's a legal requirement in the UK that bikes must be sold with a bell.

    Yes.

    I think it's a legal requirement in the UK that bikes must be sold with a bell.

    I did not know that. Common sense I suppose.

    Who should I lobby to get this rule introduced here?

    This may not be a popular opinion but does anyone else think that the new Pinarello dogma is horrific? The wavy front and rear forks dont do anything for me. Honestly, I feel physically sick just looking at this.....

    IMO they're becoming steadily less ugly, both in absolute terms as the wavy forks are toned down, and in relative terms as all other manufacturers compete to make the gimpiest looking bike (Cervelo is ahead at the moment).

    They do also have fantastic ride quality, according to some reviews I've read, and that's got to be worth something, even if it comes with a few hundred grams of excess carbon and paint.

    The seller will 'except 3000 for the Carbon fibber road bike'

    Isn't it non uci legal for TTs...also isn't a carbon 'fibber' bike fundamentally unreliable?

    Maybe instead of being light and stiff like carbon fibre a carbon fibber bike just tells you ''well done, top five again bro!'

    In fairness it wouldn't be that much but still close to 4500 I'd imagine and guessing its from the 90's. Although due to age I think the asking is a joke....

    seems ebay values it for significantly less. maybe the blue is more expensive paint or something

    Burning this with fire wouldn't be enough, it needs to be sent into low earth orbit and see if it survives re-entry.

    Forgive my being pedantic, but isn't that killing it with fire?

    As long, of course, as she has her head covered at all times, and remains always behind her husband in deference to his status. ;)
