Rather drop 7 grand on a custom titanium build with rack and fender mounts and chain stays long enough for panniers. That bike is a very expensive, very focussed tool. I don't see it being fun for really long rides.

I used to think like that until I turned 18. Going to the most expensive steak house with flip flops and T shirt etc. Who cares if you got the money right? That is what is wrong with the world today. Now, I dress nice to be polite to others and to contribute to a nice atmosphere and ambiance for people who are there to have a pleasant time. It's good to be relaxed about etiquette but there is also a level of class that should portray respect to the people around you, remember, they are looking at you not vice versa. Nothing worse than having Lil' John show up at your local family restaurant with his 7 hookers showing half their ass and getting the best service imaginable because they can afford to pay a $10k meal...
All money and no class. Don't mock those who dress well to look good even to go to Cici's pizza, they deserve more respect than the gorilla who lights $100 bills on fire with Kush rolled Philly blunts.
PS. Snobbery and stuck upiness is just as bad.

Anyway, this is silly. Fact of the matter is, you should never leave your house looking like a slob. Always dress like you have somewhere better to go.

Also, if wearing casual clothing to an expensive restaurant and not caring because you can afford to eat there is the biggest problem with the world today, I'd say we're pretty lucky. Even if it's Lil Jon and his entourage rolling up to the place on $15k bicycles.

Flyin' under the radar
Anyone else notice that with this new bike, Trek also released a new duotrap sensor (duotrap S) that use both ANT+ and Bluetooth? Having both is kinda nice -- you can use your traditional cycling computer or your smartphone -- or both!
It seems as this new sensor is shaped differently from the original duotrap, which means it wouldn't be backward compatible. Hopefully all the new 2015 Treks will be designed to use this new sensor.

The Trek bikes ridden professionally are built different to what is available in retail. There is the 15lb UCI limit, but also the pro riders complain about stiffness.

Same setup: they'll post it online after the stage. "The footage will be published on letour.fr after each stage and made available to television broadcasters." Perhaps they'll show it on TV during the nighttime coverage.
The cameras have been great so far. I'm glad they're moving so quickly on this. I bet they'll be allowed at all races next year.

if not then why ?
thankss

Uh oh. Newb, you will extract a rare civil response from me. On flats, bike weight differences matter less...because of no change in potential energy...lugging mass up hill against gravity...especially at steady state i.e. you aren't accelerating that mass say in break aways or sprinting. Reports are the new SL8....is a fantastic bike, light, great handling without being overly twitchy and with good ride quality. It will be replacing the principle line of the Madone which is Trek's flagship race bike. So don't dismiss it if you don't do any climbing because its just a great bike. In fact, it is probably the best new road bike out this year and available in three different modulus levels which relates to price. For my money the 500 series frameset for less than $1500 is a great value...in the day when an equivalent frameset may cost twice that.

More info here Trek Introduces the All New Émonda, Claims World?s Lightest Production Road Bike
As a complete bike the flagship Émonda SLR 10 comes in at an incredible 10.25 lb (4.6kg) and will retail for an equally staggering $15,749.99. In order to get the weight down to that level Trek is equipping the bike with Tune Skyline tubular wheels, and a Tune Komm-Vorr Plus saddle in addition to the SRAM Red drivetrain and Bontrager parts.
SLR Émondas will also be equipped with the new Bontrager Speed Stop brakes which are a dual post design similar to the Dura Ace integrated stoppers. Compared to Ultegra brakes, Bontrager claims a 50g per caliper weight savings. Speed Stop brakes also offer an adjustable leverage ratio, two position quick release, and a wide set design to work with the widest rims and bigger tires.
Coming standard on the new SLR 10 is the new Bontrager XXX bar/stem combo which provides a 75g savings over the same XXX bar and stem combination used separately. The bar/stem combo features a 129mm drop, 93mm reach, and is compatible with Trek’s new accessory integration system, Blendr. Eventually to be found across their entire line, Blendr allows accessories like lights, computers, and even cell phones to be attached to the stem with out zip ties or additional
mounts.

That was a trial event. So was the Tour de Suisse. Bikes, camera, action! Amgen tour experiments with on-bike cams - VeloNews.com
I hope they become legal full time, but you won't see them at the TDF this year.

I thought this was pretty funny, and this was in this years TDF! Ok it was a spectators camera but...
