Re: The Cycling Thread
I reckon it is, look at the brick courses and where each wheel comes up to. Front is definately smaller.

Re: The Cycling Thread
No, they do look like different, maybe 700c rear & 650c front?
Perhaps its just an illusion ?

Re: The Cycling Thread
ITV4 will be showing some of the classic's, but which ones & when I don't know. There is a campain to get ITV4 to show more cycling, Ned Boulting said to bombard ITV4 with emails requesting more cycling.
If not CyclingTv http://www.cycling.tv/ViewArticle.db...FQEhfAodPRkZcg My broadband isn't fast enough to stream it, otherwise I'd renew my subscription, as they cover the semi classics as well as the main ones

Re: The Cycling Thread
Just been out this morning and done my first road ride for 12 months - 17.7 miles in 1:08, average 15.5mph which was not too bad - just need to start getting a few miles in regularly now.
