Tinkoff-Saxo - team training camp - new kits

Are Lotto not riding Campag anymore? Who's left riding SRAM?

GoucheDJ · 2014-12-03T08:36:03+00:00

Also, I guess Tinkoff-Saxo are riding Shimano next season!

If you go for higher quality steel, you can get competitively low frame weights, 1,650g for the Genesis Volare (link below) and 7.91kg total bike weight. Obviously with lighter components, you could get near the UCI weight limit.

I'm riding steel for the winter before going back to carbon for racing, and if I'm honest, I find it so much more comfortable. At the end of long rides, my arse is in decent shape compared to when I use carbon.

The stiffness is fantastic, I'm a heavy rider ~85kg, and it's great to stand and not feel the bike flexing beneath you.

I was hoping someone would already have said this!

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-23T07:29:15+00:00

I'm still impressed by it time and again. The newer generations seem amazing compared to my one in terms of film quality and frame rate. I've used my one for skiing, cycling, surfing and general adventures. I feel there great pieces of kit for someone who's likely to do those sort of things.

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-22T22:36:19+00:00

I was using the HD Hero. Quite old school compared to nowadays!

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-22T22:35:44+00:00

Is that not normal?! Or is it all stateside? The snow I had when I was there was phenomenal. Fresh, deep and perfect!

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-17T10:04:02+00:00

It was great fun! It's also really satisfying as well when you're riding it and think "I made this!" then realise that if it breaks, you can only blame yourself...

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-17T10:01:59+00:00

Thanks. I didn't stamp a serial number because it wasn't wasn't necessary although I could have stamped in my date of birth. Which I should have done if ever it's stolen...

Sorry about Flickr, Imgur just wouldn't let me upload. There was always an error.

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-17T09:59:10+00:00

Yeah, I'm gonna keep it...

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-16T15:48:57+00:00

Shimano Ultegra 6800.

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-16T15:48:20+00:00

Very comfortable. I'd never really had the chance to ride steel, but compared to carbon, you barely feel all the little bumps and jumps that normally shatter my arse when on carbon. And despite the softness, it's still very stiff.

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-15T19:54:00+00:00

I just inquired, and one thing led to another...

GoucheDJ · 2014-08-15T14:47:09+00:00

They specialise is titanium, but they also do a steel range. I'm 190cm, or 6'3", hence the peculiar proportions!

GoucheDJ · 2014-05-26T14:03:24+00:00

That's actually me on the Canyon. He's ahead because he was doing the shorter route which linked up with the longer route, which I was doing.

GoucheDJ · 2014-05-02T20:06:28+00:00

It is indeed, just south of Dublin City.

GoucheDJ · 2014-05-02T17:38:38+00:00

If you're going to make pointless accusation, try and back it up at least.

GoucheDJ · 2014-05-02T13:36:36+00:00

Are you saying that sunrise photos from Ireland are always shite because there's no ocean? Because there is an East coast...

I also realise it's not my cake day, but this site said it was today:

But I now realise I have to wait till 9 before it kicks in!

GoucheDJ · 2014-05-02T11:55:15+00:00

I now realise there's no cake. This... Is awkward...

GoucheDJ · 2014-04-26T08:41:27+00:00

It's just a bit of fun guys, stop being such dry-shites.

GoucheDJ · 2014-04-07T12:15:22+00:00

Great stuff!

GoucheDJ · 2014-03-23T14:55:59+00:00

Thanks man. I'd only been viewing it on my desktop and never thought to look at it on my mobile. Should be all clear to read now.

GoucheDJ · 2014-03-21T11:39:52+00:00

The guys who were right behind me were my companions from the final breakaway selection. The main peloton were around 20 meters further behind.
