That is a jolly sexy bike.

Amazing and moving interview with Matej Mohoric after winning Stage 19 of the TdF

Apart from the unbelievable eloquence and flawless English after having just...

Congratulations Trident, truly impressive achievement!

I have a pair of those. They’re great for jra stuff, commuting etc, but the fit is like a trainer so it’s not so fitted on the upper as a dedicated cycle shoe. Good sole though, and a great...

I switched from SPDs to Crank Bros Eggbeaters during lockdown, as I was getting a lot of knee pain from doing a lot of miles indoors. They have masses of float, and are tuneable with different...

Great to know, thanks. I went for the 42 due to my shoulders being a bit iffy.

Nice looking bike. Those look like the Ritchey venturemax handlebars - how do you find them? I bought one but haven’t fitted it yet.

Knee pain is what made me change from SPD to Crank Bros egg beaters (they have many designs btw, some with much larger platforms but al with the same mechanism). Knee pain has totally gone for me...

Honestly, I’ve never had an issue with the size of platform. Even with egg beaters, which have a tiny platform, my shoes are stiff enough that I don’t feel any flex or lack of support.
I’m no pro...

That looks very cool - care to share details?

Just my opinion, but clip-in pedals are superior to toe clips in every way.

Easier and quicker to get into and out of (once you’ve got the hang of it);
Many types allow you to enter from...

I’ve converted to Crank Bros egg beaters on all my bikes, MTB, gravel and road.

I’ve used SPD for decades but I was getting knee pain, especially on the static turbo trainer. Switched to egg...

One thing worth bearing in mind about the SL versions of Specialized ebikes is that they’re a compromise between power and lightness. There is a non-SL version of the Vado which is more powerful but...

Those Turbo Vado SL are really good. There is a 5.0 version is which is slightly higher spec but possibly not required for your use.
But there is also an “equipped” version which come with...

I have some Sky channels as part of my Virgin subscription, yes.

I didn’t say I was a paragon of virtue, just that I have issues with it :D

To quote Hassan Minhaj “I’m woke, but I’m much more...

Tbh, I’ve always had an issue with Sky and then Ineos, due to my feelings about their owners (Murdoch and Ratcliffe), which has made it hard for me to really get behind them.
It’ll make a nice...

Agree with this. You want to feel inspired to get on the bike. I’ve always had bikes much better than me, but I’ve always enjoyed riding them more as a result.

I’m intrigued by the idea of an e-mtb. But I always get confused by motor specs, assuming you have to have the best and most powerful (and presumably heaviest). What sort of motor does that one have?

I used to fancy myself as pretty daring on my front suspension hard tail in the early 90s, but the gulf between what I used to tackle and the sheer talent and endurance of this is just mind-boggling....

3,000 miles on one margarita?!?
That is impressive mpg - will have to investigate further…

Cranks not flat, wheels not aligned, chain on small chainring, dishwasher door not shut.
Come on Spesh, you can do better than that! ;)

Just ordered a Planet X Tempest myself. Rival 1 rather than Force 1, as they’ve currently got £200 off the Rival version, which makes it £1599, an absolute steal for a Ti bike IMO. Couldn’t really...

Very timely! I like Dave Arthur’s channel.

Spoken like a true TZ-er!

Is that the new Diverge Kerry? Or is the one you’re selling?

It’s hard to keep up with your collection ;)
