I'd look at second hand bikes. For that money, with a bit of poking about, you'll easily get decent carbon with something of the level of Ultegra or Dura Ace, good wheels etc.

Better alu all the way.

Also, your calculations are wrong, its n+1

Cheers for the comments guys.

To be honest I'm not surprised with the "Man Up" style comment from dreamlx10, just thought it might be an avenue worth pursuing. From what I've read and like someone else said, there's plenty of pro's out there doing it on alpine stages. Fitness and weight are certainly not an issue, from what I've ascertained on my last 2 (and only!) events, nor am I poor at climbing it's just "my" weakness.

However, I hadn't considered a team kit as a viable performance enhancer! Do you find a particular team strip passes you more frequently than others, dreamlx10? Or is there a colour scheme in particular you despise? Clearly, these would leap-frog to the top of my shopping list!

Cheers All!

Yes definitely need to be wary here.
She could've left PC unattended and a friend may have played a gag on her.
Lets hope so anyway.

I disagree with the "carry on regardless" as it gives the driver the impression that what they did was right and perfectly acceptable. Let the sods know you are not happy with their idea of sharing the roads. How many times do driver hit the horn when they feel aggreived?I have a full range of reactions from simply eye-balling them to full on contact with the car. The later soon sharpens their focus.

IME the vast,vast,vast majority of near-misses are caused by the driver being in too much of a hurry and as such they don't stop. If they do stop, I just simply cycle past as if nothing has happened.

I have asked "Does 10 seconds of your time really mean more than my life?"

I didn’t ride the event but bumped into it whilst out and there were more than just a few first timers from what I saw, good luck to them. I had a chat with a couple of them, to find out what it was, then wished them well and carried on my merry way.

I have the socks - which me daughter bought me - however they used to clash with my bike so I had to go and buy a bike that doesn't!

It's all Dave's fault!

I didn't realise there was a legal basis for banning a certain type of traffic from a highway in the United States? Sounds like the city would probably be in violation of certain state laws if they chose to do this.

Used to wear short trainer socks from Decathlon but stumped up some money for the Road.cc ones. Quality socks and they don’t look too shabby either.

I've been undertaken when walking across one with a bicycle, already halfway across, any closer and she would have run me over.

I'd doubt she'd have stopped if she did.

I see people like this every morning on my commute,
no respect for cyclists as road users!
I'm not sure what is taught with regards to cyclists in the highway code now but I definitley remember being told to overtake a cyclist as if it was a car...!!!

Retro kits are soooooo ace.
