    If you don't get to at least one tri this year I'm going to declare this post invalid andbsay it should have been in the cycling forum.

    That's a nice saddle to bars drop there Trig! Nice saddle angle as well ;)

    Enjoy the new bike!

    Finally got the new steed fitted and ready for the season. (I'm aware that I have broken the rules about drive side pictures, blah, blah, blah....)

    That looks absolutely tiny compared to mine. What size frame is that EC?

    My Shiv has a headtube as long as the fork! Its an XL though. Image will be up here in the next 10days when I can get the wheels on it, cables tidied up and the steerer tube cut.

    Pretty sure it's a small. My last TT bike (a Quitana Roo) never really fitted me properly and used it for 4 seasons. This bike feels perfect and is a joy to ride in comparison. You get the same model?

    I have the same colour and all!!! Just a good bit bigger. My planetX was never a great fit either. I was super aggressive on it position wise, even with a good deal of headset spacers. Great for a sprint or oly but far too uncomfortable for anything longer. The Shiv is much taller, which is what I needed, without being much longer.

    I quickly went from an enquiry to a sale with a crowd in Spain. Full Ultegra on an IA10 frame.
    Picked the wheels up on 45% discount from France. I spend a lot of time browsing before buying

    And just to add, I'm absolutely loving it. Out in the hail yesterday and didn't mind the stabbing at all with the lovely whirring noise coming from the bike. I don't get why people spend a small fortune on fast bikes only to use them just for racing but then again, I'm still new to this and each to their own

    Between buying your left overs and wiggle bringing me a new torque wrench it's going to be an exciting week :)

    Also, you're right, yours is bigger than mine....

    Oh, the house badly needs painting, but not much point painting it when we plan on making three windows bigger and putting in one extra one.

    Zico will be on now complaining about this thread becoming more Room to Improve than Image of Beauty.....

    looks to be a similar system to my cannondale. the two circular bits that clamp on the rail, try turning them around, the teeth marks are intentionally different on each side on mine and if you can't get it level turning often helps
