Yep, I'll have a look at both.

They won't match my new bike, or the old one for that matter.

Oh Alan and Colin, do you think we could manage this without being complete burst baws at the end of it? I've never done the Tak twice. Its weather dependent.

I reckon I might need carried back to the train station but I am up for giving it a go. Weather for Saturday looks decent just now.

Colin that jacket would match my bike, but it's likely too big for me!

Its not as if the other bike is old I've only ridden it 36 times.

This is the new bike.

A little bit of Dutch Fun. Sensa Giulia Ultegra 6800.

I like the look of that.. a real feather weight. Now the next question is what are you going to use when there are 31 days in the month?

I have a fatty and a thinny now

Hopefully it's a light as they claim. reading the reviews it's quite stiff so I'm already looking at better bartape and gel inserts and maybe a carbon seatpost.

Certainly not going daft and buying stupidly expensive light stuff. I kinda laughed saying to AJC that I'll not be drinking water anymore as a 750ml bottle will be a 10th of the bikes weight. That in itself scares me.

What I do like is if I do upgrade wheels I can transfer the ones I take off onto the Triban. eventually it could end up an Ultegra Triban. That would be novel...

And downright lunacy... I like lunacy

The nice thing about that frame is that it is DI2 ready, so when the time comes, its a straight forward job, nice clean lines. No messy cables on the outside of the fame

carelesschucca · 03-02-16, 10:05 PM

I know I'm so excited, ... I bought Shimano pedals for it too.. PD-R550s whoop.

Going into Evans tomorrow to get a Tophills seatbag holder as I'll just use the same one on both bikes.

I've still to inform my olds that I'm gonna take up more garage space at theirs.

Hey guys,

Has anyone found/used a protein mixer bottle that fits into a bottle cage properly?

I'm kinda sick of tucking them into my shirt because they don't fit in a cage and ultimately having them leak their contents down my bum.

maviczap · 04-02-16, 03:57 PM

No, I have my shakes when I get home. When I do that, then I use a standard bottle anyway.
