Designed to go with my new Planet X track bike - which is all black except for the gold chain...
Milan-San Remo at a guess
6.7km to Sainsburys and back. No chelsea buns!
Strangely tasteful for me:
288km? Blimey, that's good going. What are you trainign for Blackhound? And did you get the train back?
If you want a magazine that looks like it has been shrunk for iOS then great. Or, redesign for the different medium. Personally think reading magazines on a phone is a complete and utter waste of time.
Black and yellow to go with my Boardman CX Team...
I think a better name for San Marco's "Ass Saver" would be the "I'm all right Jack". It's OK for solo riders, but if someone turned up at a club ride with one of those it would be worse, somehow, than nothing at all.
To go with my copper Equilibrium
Would go perfectly with my metallic copper genesis equilibrium. Mmm....
Here's your winner:
TDF edition
Keith, I don't think doing a '100' on a time trial bike is a problem - provided you are accustomed to the position. Plenty of people in last year's West Cheshire 12 hour were on TT bikes and the quick guys were still going hell-for-leather even after 11½ hours!
The aero gain of a dedicated TT bike is much less than manufacturers would have us believe. Some info:

http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/how-aero-is-aero-19273/
Most of gain of TT bike is the rider's reduced drag thanks to lower aerobars, not the frame. Some TT frames are not optimised for high yaw angles (crosswind), so can actually be slower in the real world.
As for people having already made their mind up and just wanting confirmation, yes, I'm afraid that happens all too often.
Gone with an Italian colourway to go with an Italian Casati frame
As Swedish as Ikea meatballs but with less horse.
Subtly reflective of club (and bike!) colours...
Aye, PN was my priority so I was concentrating on that and didn't really give TA much thought over the weekend just making random picks based on odds and stuff.
I put my research time towards my purist team for TA and thought I'd submitted a strong purist team knowing that I wouldn't be taking the standard comp so seriously but I'm way way way down thanks to a few of my riders taking it easy.
The Harlequin, perfect for my Frankenbike single speed
got to be a flash of Green and Gold in recognition of Cav's 2011 victories, Green Jersey, Gold at WC
Briancon is up and out the other side of the valley and gives more access to Italy with the Ventoux not too far away.
Caernarvon to Cardiff on Saturday. 288km, not a bad day for it really. Had two really bad down patches in the middle which coincided with some High5 tablets. Coincidence? Finished strongly though.
Still celebrating the Forum's Scorum's Paris Nice win eh?
Boring with a hint of speed...
I couldn't be bothered to look at the profile or do any research so I made no transfers at all...
