Interesting switch from HED H3 to a Pro tri spoke.

Really nice paint scheme. I love his skinsuit and helmet too.

Terrible. Glad we kicked their asses off of North America.

Are there many taller TT riders using 177.5? my dad used 180 but had quite a low cadence

Where's his food box, aero drink/ BTA bottle, and flat kit?






Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Unavailable until June 2015. Will there be a clincher? No aero data yet.

It will almost certainly be a low-yaw wheel. Which means many triathletes will be better off with a blunter carbon rimmed wheel.

The Bolide is one of the best looking TT bikes imo.

Why do you think so? Did you find any specifications or data?

No. But Team Sky don't care about high yaw angles. The rim doesn't appear to be very wide either. But really no one knows the answer for sure until the wheel is made available to the public and someone tests it in the wind tunnel.

Who wants to tell him that the artist got the Union Jack wrong!!

Those "thick and thin" white stripes have been incorrectly applied. Won't matter if Scotland gains independence of course, then we'll have to change the flag!

The graphics look literal from above the Pinerello logotype on the top tube. Below that they took artistic license and did a good job IMO matching the parts to graphic elements of the frame.

Boy that bike won't make sense after Scotland leaves on Thursday.

I agree that it looks great, and I'd love to have something similar done to my own rig. But the top left diagonal red (just above Wiggo's name) has reversed thick and thin white borders. I'm all for the artistic license otherwise. Perhaps it is something to do with the way Wiggo views it from the riding position, in which case all is good!
