TT frames aren't the issue; no one is making aero frames that weigh under 700 grams.
Just remembered. I had it once very badly and all it was was two loose spokes. When they were about to come out the whole frame started to fishtail.
There's a third way ... do both stop eating cake and buy the lightweight kit, you'll be broke from eating cake at cafe's and buying bits for your bike but you may just get those few minutes and see the odo climb that extra mile an hour!
note the professional use of zipties and gaffer tape
mission control: managed to get my phone (for tracking) and edge (for routefinding) mounted up. plus there's a backup battery in there too...
I'm in NE Scotland, i'm 40 miles from Aberdeen, but people in the village drive there every day and back and i know others who do further commutes
I'll give you an email later on as i'm off to watch the TdF opening ceremony
Please tell me the shorts will still be black...
Hi Gkam84! No, looking everywhere for this. Where are you based?
People having to stay with parents and grandparents becuase of how expensive it all is are exactly the people we want to talk to.
Also, what you said about knowing cyclists doing 40mile round commutes and drivers who do nearly 100miles to get to wrk is also great for us.
Can I talk to you more about this? sophielloyd@tigeraspect.co.uk is my email address.
VWD ahhh. Not O. Perhaps Vroomen-White-Design.
Still unusual of Cervelo to have sub-models in this day and age, not since the the new S and R names.
It's grown on me now and I agree with the looking better in the video.
Just what it was, dumped out the cache and its all shiny and new
might be that the images are cached somewhere at your end...
Yup, just did a screen for you

You sure, Gkam84? Sky was changed last week and the jerseys definitely have a green not blue stripe across them when you look at the rider list, likewise, Garmin are white and blue with a black band now. I just checked.
I dont see changes
Sky is still black, Garmin is still balck
But sky are riding green and garmin will be in white
Are you only looking down south and cyclists?
The house prices up here are so expensive, that people are just not bothering and staying with parents and grandparents
I know cyclists who do 40 mile round commutes and then people in cars who do nearly 100 miles a day just to go to work
Very true, but where's the fun in that?
If you buy lighter bits you get the bonus of screwing more shiny bits to your bike & being able to eat more cake
Just a thought (shamelessly nabbed from the Premier League's fantasy football game from last season):
How about the ability to carry over one of your daily transfers to the next day if you don't use them both (up to a maximum of 1 carry-over, so you only ever get a maximum of 3 transfers for one day).
It could lead to a bit more strategic thinking (or am I the only Tinkerman round here who uses both transfer options every day).
Timbo
it's about 6 months old.
I'll get the piccies sorted out later on for you
You have got NINE riders, haven't you?
Conti Attack/Force - Brilliant tyres. Superb grip and over 1,500 miles without mishap in all conditions and road surfaces. Front tyre does tend to wear, but it's a very soft compound.
Conti 4 Season - Rubbish. Three punctures through the tread in 50 miles. Final one cut right through tread and side wall.....Now in the dust bin.
Both types of tyres run at 110psi. By the way.....I'm a tad over 14.5st (92kg).
Ha Ha Ha. Show that comment to the R & D bloke
We had a story up not so long ago about commuting distances (of course I can't actually find it right now). From memory 12/13 miles is a much bigger than average commute whatever your mode of transport (although the picture obviously differs in London and the SE).
I have the opposite problem. Working from home now, I don't get to commute by bike at all. I miss it.
It's a complicated picture though. With public transport and motoring costs continually heading upwards, even if you choose to live some distance from work because house prices/rent is cheaper, you'll be paying more to get to/from work.
Unless you cycle, of course.
About 40/45 minutes, house prices arent really a factor in me not moving closer to where I work, I'd prefer to live elsewhere and that would possibly be further away from work.
Cycling the commute is generally the highlight of my day.
That can be quite a long commute. Do you cycle that distance? How long does it take you?
Would you say house prices are preventing you from moving closer?
