^nice. On my list of maybes, if/when my Neutrons give up the ghost, and I opt for a factory-built replacement.
What's the spoke fitting at the front hub. Is it some sort of proprietary thing / straight pull?
i think they claim they are hand-built, don't they? in a factory, of course.
spoke fitting...not exactly sure what you mean, but mine are a custom build that someone else ordered and then didn't take up, so i got them at a discount.
they are a stronger build than the usual ones, with different medium flange hubs, spokes are 2 or 3 cross, 24 on the front, 28 on the back ( i think) -

along similar theoretical lines are these Hed wheels, which have a 23mm rim ( instead of 19mm), and so make the 23mm tyre less misshapen and 'rounder' and fatter without actually being wider :

I have a pair and they certainly seem to be a nice ride. they do indeed look fatter in the flesh.

I wonder if many of the riders will be sporting Tribars to represent the Richmond Park 'look'
they'll probably still get stuck behind a bunch of london dynamo cunts.
i'm going to be on box hill. watching, waiting. might get a caravan there, and all of my family, make a fortnight of it, Ventoux style.

When he arrived in Australia for that training race, he said he was donating $50k to the Queensland flood relief fund. It looks like he forgot to pack his cheque book;

assuming that one of the many companies listed there isn't one of his, of course.
it may JUST be that not all his business interests are named ;

Six months of patching up locals who had got their arms and faces blasted off whilst trying to reclaim the metal from unexploded ordnance, six months of sniper fire, six months of openly wanking in a tent over tatty porn mags in front of half a dozen other blokes who are also wanking whilst trying to avoid eye contact.
Hur hur hur...
always with the wanking..

That sounds fair enough, and makes sense.
thanks for explaining.
