It is rather special. If that's the same review that was in C+ a few months ago then they thought it was absolutely fantastic. They also said that if you down spec the fork to the standard (but still superb) one, drop the spec down to something a bit more normal, i.e. downgrade the wheels to something mere mortals can afford, then you end up with one of the best bikes around at a competetive price. Still a lot but down to £4k rather than £12k.

Frankly I think I'm worth the extras. Let me know when you're ready to order and I'll give you my particulars.

:D

D'oh, it is the review. I actually read it this time rather than just drool at the picture. :oops:

I know the secret, I witnessed the photographers up at Selsdon Park Hotel doing a similar trick during the TDF :wink:

Get assistant to hold it steady, release and step out of frame for the 1/500 sec or so while photographer takes piccy, then grab bike again before it falls.
