Looks like PRO aerobars. I can just BARELY make out the PRO logo. That makes sense as well given the profile and stack height...

I finally found better pic and... It does looks like a PRO as you mentioned.

Damn, wrinkles in the skinsuit, exposed vents on the helmet, round bottle on the DT, what direction is that rear skewer pointing!?! And needs a Hooker front brake if he wants to roll with the big boyz.

When are these kids gonna learn?

;>)


Thanks for posting stuff like this. Seriously.

I was thinking the same, but then I saw also the wrinkles on his left leg. ;-)

He has the power and he will learn, rest assured. He will be on Andy's team pretty soon I guess.

That's the Elite aero bottle. Can't use the P4's bottle in a UCI event. The Elite bottle is the only aero bottle that fits in the cradle area. As for the front brake, the rear one sucks so badly that you need something up front with some genuine stopping power if you ever want to stop. As for the rest of it ... indeed! What's up with that?

i believe cancellara rides with a normal waterbottle on the downtube

I need to get out more...

Cancellara doesn't ride a P4 ... at least not when anybody's watching.

You will I am sure and God willing in good company. ;-)

Bummer that Lawson didn't get the gold. He has had a stellar year this year - some big wins in Europe, sweeping junior nationals, signing with Armstrong's U23 team.

is that a DT hub laced to that 808 rim? Not sure why I think that's interesting... but I do.

Yeah. DT-Swiss 190.

I can't help it: "Occupation: Wikipedia"

Seriously, I just collect these sort of things in my brain. I look at that wheel, and I can tell you immediately from the shape and design of the hub that it's a DT-Swiss 190. In 2006 & 2007, I was part of the Timex team. Early Bontrager wheels had hubs made for Bontrager by DT-Swiss. So, when I got my first set of training wheels from the team, I wanted to know what exactly I was riding on. So I went and read about DT-Swiss. And now that I know it, I won't forget it. Probably ever. It has ended up being a bit of a running joke among my friends. Simon Whitfield dubbed me "Jordanpedia."

In all seriousness, as a primary example of how I collect these things, I'll do a google search for something. Then I'll read what seems relevant. But invariably, I'll end up following links to other links. And I just store this away in my brain. Like today, we are having a parade in town. Taking part in the parade was a group of Shriners. So I looked up what the Shriner's were. I discovered there were essentially a branch of Freemasons. So then i spent some time reading about Freemasons, which led me to reading about how they were persecuted in World War II. Which led to reading about Adolf Eichmann and the SS. Which in turn led to me reading about both the phrase "banality of evil" and also about the Israeli Moussad. I enjoy doing this sort of thing a great deal. And the data just seems to stick.

Come and take one of the FIST workshops. Throw out a stack or a reach number. And I'll tell you all of the bikes - in what size - that come close to fitting that stack & reach. From memory. Of course, this has very little useful or practical applications, but it's just who I am...

I have uttered the above ocassionally, and heard others say similar, generally we share the common thread of being engineers.

Before being a full time Tri Pro, were you an engineer, if not, you missed your calling.

It's a good profession for those with absurd curiosity.

And, I'd love to take a FIST workshop. Maybe someday when I have more money than bills.

Jungles had a great ride. He did 28.5 km in 40:05 which is 42.75 kph which is fast.

Andy in the final TT in the tour this year did the 52 km course in 1:07:10 which is 46.57 kph which is faster.

Jungles course was harder but Andy's course longer. I think Jungles will challenge the Schlecks in the TT but I don't think it will be next year. He will need some years under his belt before he reaches the elite level.

So how come with all these incredibly observant people around here no-one has noticed that the two bikes pictured are different bikes?

Huh. yeah, they are. P4 with Zipps, and the other appears to be Orbea with Duraace.

Hey, the two bikes pictured are different bikes! One's a P4 and the other is an Orbea!
