Another independent thumbs up for Rose from me; had my SL-Pro 3000 for nearly two years now. Still love it.
The ordering process was a cinch, easy to get hold of someone at Rose who spoke better English than I to sort out a few pre-ordering questions. The bike configurator dodad on their website was huge fun for the budgetry implications of various what-ifs.
Took a few days to arrive though - might have been ten days - but was perfectly set up out of the sturdy box - just had to turn the bars through 90 degrees put the pedals on and away we went.
As soon as I can smuggle a Di2 past She Who Commands The Budget I'll be reaching for their catalogue again

hey maybe sky ride could get hold of a section of motorway and we could all forfill that dream, why should motorists have all the fun
Mind control helmet implants
Shimano S-Works?
I may regret it but not got Sagan in either team, but in my standard I do have a good decent set of sprinters for the first two stages
I've got a Rose Xeon CRS-3000 (the carbon version of this bike) and it's brilliant. I absolutely love it and I'd thoroughly recommend Rose - great people to deal with.

Stumbled onto the busiest stretch of dual carriageway ever; it lead directly off a motorway with cars doing about 90mph in two narrow lanes.
oh wait - no - it was a time trial and i was racing at the time. my mistake.
After so many incidents and seeing so much hatred lately, I am going to get myself a front and rear camera. Not this one though. And I would be a bit worried about the auto-stop on the Hindsight 30. They really need to get teh tuning on it right. On the one hand, you want to be sure it stops if you are hit, on the other I wouldn't like to have to reset it after every pothole!
You'd think they have better things to do what with their 20% unemployment etc.
Ty for that link. Can't help noticing that style is inversely proportional to helmet wearing.

Oh, weirdly enough I made map from the PDF on the official site just yesterday. Because of the numbers, it's mostly A and B roads, so there's no way I'd want to ride the official route apart from on the day of closed roads.
It does look like a pretty easy ride, apart from the distance. Only about 800m of climbing, and that's in one 20km block.

Yep whilst in my LBS the other day, I was informed that Endura have told retailers they may no longer sell Endura products online
How?
I'm 46 and faster than my previous years by 2 minutes in the 10 mile TT. This year "time" will tell if fitness still gets better. I credit cycling with almost healing 2 compressed discs, bruisitis, smashed hips- both, elbows- both, mood- ALWAYS!!
Lance (the B-sample)
Many brands are stopping this now. My LBS have had to pull alot of stuff from Ebay after being told to take it down.
They can flog some of last years stock if they want, but nothing from winter 2012 onwards
I know that feeling. Too well.
A real thumbsucker this one, for standard and purist. Good to get some practice in for picking TTT squads, made a hash of the last one.
Making that call between Cav, Greipel and Sagan for the flat stages will be tough. Maybe pick those three and pack the rest of the squad with low-rent Italian domestiques looking to get in the breaks? It's a tactic...
Seems to me Spain actually has got this right. There are some cyclists that are just dangerous and these rules will help control them. As for helmets it's no different than a motorist wearing a seat belt or a motorcyclist having to wear a helmet.
Tend to agree. Gone puncheur-heavy for tomorrow, need a big day...
Dave, how do I compare my high score for Stage 1 in Paris Nice with the other high scores any other user has had for the season? Is there a page where I can see all the high scores for the season? I know there used to be, but I cant find it! When I click on Stage High Scores, I think I'm only seeing the high scores for today's stage, not the high scores for all the season...
(Thanks forthe props, ray!)
Honestly who would get off on this sort of sick, twisted stuff. Really sickening, I mean cant this individual just a get a girlfriend like a normal guy and stop obsessing over girls on bikes. I mean there is seriously something wrong here. Now we have all once or twice strayed onto www.copenhagencyclechic.com but, come on, this really takes the biscuit.
why not the Bryton 50T?
"I am a bike maintenence God"
Shame you're not so hot on spelling (it's maintenance)
Well, coming from a politician in the country where one of the same said a female can shut down her body to prevent pregnancy when she has been raped, and the answer to the guns problem is more guns, what do you expect?
USA is a big country with extremes of everything, including ignorance.
