What makes you say that? None of the factory photos from Profile show the pads mounted that way.

Cool twins. Which one is evil? I wonder what your tandem looks like.

Oh, you're missing a blind from your verticals. Instead of replacing though you might want to consider updating; verticals are so 1980s.

Yes I know verticals are 80's I live in a house that was built in the 60's and remodeled in the 80's. At this point I would rather spend my money training then worrying about the blinds. Most days there open, water is about 300 feet past the blinds. No tandem for me. The roadie is kinda evil, she takes most of the abuse around here. I am really starting to love the tri bike, thats my first one.

We still haven't seen a picture of the OP's bike. Bet he doesn't have one ;^)

Thanks, I guess I am not smart enough to post pics.

I can not see one of the pictures but if we are talking the Cobra T2's then the pads are mounted correctly.

You have got two great bikes though ;)

Both of your bikes are very simple and sexy. I wouldn't change a thing. I guess I'm not too fond of some of the funky new shapes and colors.

This is the first incarnation of my Aegis Trident:




It's in the process of being rebuilt, and now looks like this:

(a few parts still missing...waiting on a QR/Kinesis CarbonAero fork, and DA shifters)

The tri-training machine:

(setup with compact cranks for hillier rides/races, and about 5cm less drop than the TT/tri machine)

Hey islandman, thanks.
that link was of the blown up version of the thumb nail i thought.....apparently not.
I guess i should try a different online photo site

I've heard of people stealing television sets from hotel rooms but never doors. Nice ride, BTW.

An opportunity to plug my sponsor: can't resist.



This one's done up porn-style with race wheels etc. Here's one of me riding in training:



Everti Titanium Bicycles (formerly known as Epic Titanium Bicycles) is a Canadian company that produces unique Ti builds. The new road frame, Pheonix, has some really cool tube shaping that, while contributing to the bikes performance characteristics, looks really cool to boot.

A few reasons. "Some" tests say the HED3 wasn't as fast but the biggest reason was tubbie vs clincher. If you run clinchers out here you're going to spend the big bucks with all the thorns and cacti. The new disc is a clincher. I really liked the HED3d but you know me, I learned from you : ). I love switching wheels.

During the ride we had the other day with the group, we had 7 flats in 33 miles. I use Tufo tubular clinchers with sealant, and never have to worry.

this has always been one of my favorite bikes on ST. Where do you put waterbottles?

_and_ you have the added safety of knowing that you're never going to drop the group either, since your tires produce more friction than dragging one of your toes on the ground :-)

I really like that bike. I know weight doesn't matter for almost everything I race but a bike that light makes me envious!

That's a sick bike, Everti should be very proud of what they have put together there.

Personally I would try to get them to build a custom ti version that has better aspect ratios on the aero tubes, and a maximum width of around 25-26mm. Something similar to the Cervelo P2 in terms of shaping, but with a nice compliant rear end (despite having crazy thin seat stays of course). Tall order to fill, but I think someone with a lot of Ti experience could pull it off.

Chris

How are your armrest mounted? It doesn't look like you used the usual method of stacking spacers and somehow mounted them directly to the basebar. Is that accurate? If so, do you have any better pics showing it?

Thanks.

When I run water bottles, I will use a Profile Aero Drink on the front (sometimes... I don't like it much) and/or a couple bottles mounted to a very simple behind-the-seat system. For longer training days, I keep the bottles on behind the seat, but often take them off for racing.

I haven't decided what my setup will be for long-course duathlons this year yet.

I race duathlons and like it.
