Some snaps of some bikes, taken after my race yesterday...
OK, this one isn't so wierd, but note the name on the bag. Yes, that's his bike. Yes: The Rider rides Shimano.
Can you say "old school carbon fiber"?
Looks like Ex and Ivan Dominguez aren't the only ones who race on Tri-Bikes.
The guy who owns the Pinarello tends to favor unconventional bikes...

Is that even legal racing without a seat?
I was in a crit 2 years ago, where a guy was in a crash, seat broke off and he continued riding until after a couple laps the officials pulled him from the race.

Did you happen to write a report of your race? I'd like to read about it unless it, "I raced. That is all."

That is just plain foolishness. What is the point?

Makes sense to me. How many of us shift to the 53x12 when we wanna stand up and give the taint a little relief? I know I do. It's alot easier to stay standing when your peddlng a huge gear at low rpms.

Botto, don't quite get the reference to old school carbon fiber. Care to give some background? (Pretty please?)
