new Rapha Sky skinsuit, discuss

I am never going to watch cycling in hd and I pray to avoid seeing this on a surrey mamil.

The original red on the track frame was pretty special. Will be good to see the new colours in better light. They could be equally excellent.

Decals positioning and font is perfect.

Everything seems to be blocked. Facebook, twitter, BBC news. This isn't going to last.

Those companies - with recourse to lobbyists and lawyers - will end up on a whitelist. Websites without deep pockets, will be left high and dry

I want to see Cancellara take on (and take) the Hour record. The rest of 2014 is just a big dope-filled, WWF wrestling-esque masqurade of lies, damn lies and power meters.

I vaguely recall the rules for this being set at 1970s technology. Would be nice if Fabs ends up on here bidding for some ancient frame and wheels and haggling over the price of some c-record cranks...

Are there any HH full merino tops available?

On the site I can find the wool set - which I don't want as I have no need for the pants- but no sole tops, just synthetic stuff.

Last couple of years the sale has kicked off on boxing day.

This frame is immense. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

PTJ = pro team jacket or pro team jersey?

Arrgghhhh just missed a GT triple triangle frame on Ebay listed as Aluminium for £100. Saw it just after the auction ended - why the arrgghhhhh? Because it wasn't aluminium it was Ti! Last nighthttp://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=181253478645&mpt=3720919

How can someone list something so badly? Wrong material, no size.
And to think I have an ebay autosearch set up for ti GTs.

Edit: relisted at 900 quid bin. Still no size though.

Saw a courier at lunchtime today riding around on a red low pro with a full rear disk and 80mm front.
Aero beats wind I guess.

^^ thanks for the link.
Belguim with 7 riders and Germany with 6 look to be punching a bit below their weight. Esp. BG as peter v points out.

How many countries have more than 8 qualified riders at the worlds? Major euro nations with a long history of churning out one day racers, the aussies and the americans I presume. Anyone else?

The SNE039P1 is nice and has standard lugs.... looks good w/ leather too:

Where's this picture from?
I can only find it with the metal strap. Watch looks interesting.

Blighty's squad for the world champs is out. I was under the impression Cav wasn't going this year, but he has been named in the squad. Marketing ploy for sky/BC?

I'm guessing it was set up to mimic his TT position as much as possible.

Plus - this whole "pro's bike don't fit them" thing... please, enough. Not only do they spend billions of hours a year on them riding faster than we ever will, but they are also surrounded by other people who know what they are doing. I think we can assume that there is a reason, and if there isn't - I don't think anyone here is in a position to call it into question.

The number of hours spent riding these frames is a good point. If they were to small wouldn't the entire peleton be out with stress overuse injuries come GT season?

I think this may have been the f+f that I saw in the ebay finds thread. I didnt bid in the end because others warned me off it. Really stinks to find the guy lied to you. I hope repair doesn't prove too expensive. But even if it takes months to get the funds in place for this, I think you'll end up with something amazing.

This discussion of homemade chamois cream seems neither nice nor pricey. Why is it in this thread?

Would like to get the rain jacket, if they had stock..

Me too.

Instead I got the city rain jacket. At roughly 40% off seemed like a good deal. If I don't like it I can always send it back.

The security guards in paternoster sq might stop you if there is a ton of you turning up on bikes. But there is nothing really to see there. Much better off finishing on the steps of st pauls.

180km of traffic lights, road works, left turning vehicles without indicating, adison lee cabs, diesel fumes and getting split up by traffic. This is so crazy it is heroic.

This reckons there are 6000 traffic lights in london. I fear you might have to cross through >500 of them.

Shiiiiiit should I? Should I? Someone tell me!!

If it is your size, yes.
I have the road frame. It's excellent.

Anyone ever imported a phone from abroad? I'm rather taken by the moto x but it is only going to be sold in the US. Any idea on how easy it will be to get one sent to the UK?

"But now we've gone completely the other way, it's been nice actually. My climbing is going to be affected massively. By the time we get to the Worlds, I'm going to be seven or eight kilos heavier than when I won the Tour."

Hippy, given any thought to entering the worlds? Seems like brad things you have the right strategy

was checking out this shop from the frame in this thread

Seems to be seat tube 57, top tube 58.
Could fit me with a chunk of seat post exposed.

Ponders cost of restoration..

This is excellent and now serotta is sadly closing down it will have even more specialness
