Why is cycling so boring. Even more of a faff than swimming!

GregP - I think like that about Willier, they look sooooooo good!! Hope that doesn't throw another hat in the ring BB (and they don't look too bad with tri bars on either!)

Speaking of which I'm having my new bars fitted at the moment, I know I shouldn't need to have them fitted, but my bike has frog brakes at the moment so they have to be removed, cable re-routed etc..... before the bars can go on. Figures for a tenner it would be worth the guy at the shop sorting it and then getting me set up properly with them.

Crikey, Hammerite! Yesterday morning was spent removing my frog brakes - fortunately my guv'nor is a level 2 BTF coach and we did it together, which was educational and free.

Willier don't quite do it for me, but I understand the appeal. Willier with tri bars? Not sure about that.

While we're throwing more names in, what about a Felt F75?

Now Jude, play nicely.

I wonder why I'm so indifferent to Felt bikes. The Z-series made my shortlist, and was quite pleased when it wasn't available when I came to buy (the other conternder was a Bianchi Nirone).

I have a Giant TCR which I looooooove, but apparently it is totally the wrong bike for me (male specific and male specific saddle as well and it is a pure road RACINg bike) I use it for training for fell running and want to do some sprint tri's. Apparently it is a harsh ride and the handling is awkward, but I love it and it is pretty damn light! :-)
