You're supposed to take the seatpack off for glamour shots. Also, is that a shop sticker left below the seatclamp? :roll:

Well I like it Sean. Same wheels as me too.

What saddlebag is that? I need a new one and that looks an ideal size.

It is a lovely looking bike - and I approve of the Shimano. After all, it is cheaper, easier to maintain, better engineered, more reliable and just generally better value that anything else. Apart from maybe SRAM.

Very few ride Campag out here and trust me they could afford it. Since arriving here March last year I've counted at least 7 bikes fitted with Di2 on the Anza rides. I'm guessing that even on the TG rides there isn a single Di2 bike yet, correct?


Welllllll...its been a while since I was on a TG ride :oops:

prob all waiting for the campy version! :lol:

Seven? As many as seven, you say? Do they all turn up to club rides in Lambos or carried on the backs of their servants?I imagine the weight of their gold Rolexes must even things out on the climbs though? Correct, we lowly plebs grubbing about on our Sora-equipped 8 speed Apollos are barely worthy to read of such wonders as Di2, let alone aspire to own them. That's why I won't ride in the TG, not enough aspirational bling.

I don't think you'd describe some of the TG bikes as "aspirational bling", eh Paul? ;-)

Well ok the real reason is I'm not fast enough. 8 hours for the Dragon versus my mate's 6:57 and Sylv winning the Gorrick 4-lap Enduro in less time than I completed 3 laps. Must try harder.

I wonder how many of them would swap their Di2 for a hill. :wink:
