Carbon treats
When I fired up NetNewsWire and found the 1200 unread articles I knew it was going to be a long drag. Against my better judgment I found a passion for the ‘Mark all as read’ button, that was until I got down the the cycling feeds, something caught my eye; it was carbon related goodies.
First up the new Time Trial machine from Trek, come on that just looks amazing, if your not convinced just check out those bars and that view! I’ve noticed that nearly all TT rigs this year feature a brake on the ego bars, so that you can still brake without coming up from the tuck.
The second treat was the new Look 595 frameset.
Having spent a couple of days following Rob on his 585 I have grown found of the Look carbon tubular frame. This frame improves upon the design that shot Thor into the sprints at least year’s TdF, that seat post is something else.
Team Kit
Lucy has treated me on my birthday and presented me with a complete set of Trek/Discovery Channel Team cycle wear; ok I have not got the socks but I’ll let that one slide. The clothing which is made by Nike is top quality and looks the part, I guess the phrase ‘all the gear and on idea’ springs to mind.
Best I get out on my bike now and put to some use, just got to overcome the British weather.
