Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Haha well, anyone can pull some random quotes out of a book and post them, even if they are from an "overrated statesman of no great calibre"!!
there we are then
Interesting to see the pro team bikes are sans integrated bars. I know people who have started to get replacement bars from trek after the recall....
Usually this would be the port of call but given the incline of the road and the tailback, along with the blinding sunlight and limited overtaking...
After you get banned this time, when you sneak back could your new username be Tinfoil Dave, please?
See Disney's Beauty and the Beast. All you need is a leader prepared to lie and cheat. There seem to be plenty of volunteers for the role.
Warning Signs, we don't need no stinking warning signs...
Funny, that...
The Triban seems indeed excellent value, but ideally I would prefer something with lazier upright geometry....
