how are you liking that leader?

I'm surprised no one's posted (or admitted to riding) Normann's bike. When I raced Wildflower this year, so many people were riding it. Perhaps it's not as popular around the rest of the globe?

Current tires are a Michelin Dynamic on the rear (rotated from the front) and a Krylion Carbon on the front. Topeak Road Morph pump is on the seat tube, and i've got a pouch for food on the top tube, a gel flask on the stem, and the cyclometer (Cateye Astrale 8) mounted to a Minoura Swing Grip under the stem. Seat is the original Fizik Aliante with a DeSoto neoprene cover. Drivetrain includes Truvativ compact cranks (with 50/34 chainrings), 105 rear derailuer, Tiagra front derailuer, and a SRAM 12-26 casette (from which i removed the 26t cog and replaced it with a 29t cog for climbing). :D

Now that, boys and girls, is a non-UCI-legal seat position. :) And some serious aero bar extension. |
The poor man's TT rig (also my road race bike when sans-aero bars and repositioned seat)
Circa 1993 Peugeot 531 frame, Shimano 550 wheels, Tiagra/105/RX100 drivetrain, Syntace clip-on bars. http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mans1210/phot...heim_cycle.jpg Photo from the Blenheim Triathlon this past weekend. Anyone have any suggestions regarding position?? |

To fit a road bike (which I did for years) - Push the saddle as far forward on the rails as possible (you will need to also then raise the seat to keep the same saddle distance from the BB) to shorten the reach. Also to try and flatten the back a little by lowering the bars. As long as it doesn't impact your power output. Lots of good positioning information on http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadin...r/techctr.html or for more technical feedback information on http://biketechreview.com/phpBB2/index.php |

I raised the seat and pushed it as far forward as I could just for this race (but it's a fairly offset post). I thought about dropping the bars a bit, but as I'm constantly swapping this bike back and forth between TT and Road setup, I really couldn't be bothered. |

Here is my '98 Cannondale R600 that I changed to a threadless stem and added the tri bars.

I'm not sure how the carbon-rimmed HED3s ride, but mine is great. It's a little less stiff than the Velocity Deep V wheels I usually ride. When I first rode with the HED, I had to stop a couple of times to check if my rear tire had flatted because it felt wobbly. But I'm used to it now so it's fine. |

Thought I'd join the fray...
2005 49cm Orbea Aletta D/A in training mode. Mavic Ksyrium Elites, Profile T2's and Strike saddle... Fits me perfect (short legs, long(ish) torso). |
here is an update on mine...
An update to my Leader:
added: xtr long cage rear deraileur ( what a nice piece.. ) FSA chainring, after my worn shimano chainring ate my leg - 9 stitches. Cut down my aero bars a bit. Finished my bar tape and rerouted my cables better Gave up on the Azzotto seat - LBS took my money and closed the store Heart rate monitor now mounted on the bars Still to go: Tufo Tubular clinchers sitting in customs.. 220 psi, here we gooo.. ( It may not look like a big drop - but I have short arms, long legs and scoliosis, so for a guy that can't touch his toes - it's a good drop. ) http://ca.geocities.com/joevella3@ro.../CIMG2694s.JPG |
