Just seen 'The Real Alan Sugar' and he is well into his road cycling...

couldn't catch the make of his bike, but it was blue, Amstrad were into a lot of things, but not sure bikes were one of them...

    I thought it looked like an orbea ? He certainly looked the part - and no rapha to be seen - not sure thats his scene ? He looks fitter now than he has done for decades ?

    For years, Sir Alan had really been into flying light aircraft but then we were told that he has a great new interest which is... (cut to footage of a horse running about - oh, it's going to be horse riding then)... whizzing up and down Spanish mountains on his bicycle!

    That was a nice surprise. :D

    Alan sugar? the guy who fires people? He rides road bicycles? You sure? He don't look like a roadie!

    I'd love to see him on his bicycle, I'd overtake him and point and "You're Fired" :lol:

    I'm guessing that, if you do, you might not be the first person who has done that!

    I was running the marathon last year - and passed that new posh apprentice guy in the first mile or so.

    I was thinking of saying 'You're Tired!!' - but it was only the first mile and he was already complaining about the number of To$$ers around !

    did anyone ID the bike..? I looked at it again and I'm still none the wiser. Sort of a 'v' shaped badge on the front, I think...

    I thought the frame looked kind of Orbea Orca-ey - but there are a few bikes like that now.

    Its probably bought from Marbella anyway - so could just be a Spanish make ? Looked nice anyway - but he needs Oakleys. 8)

    Maybe it's an Amstrad prototype.

    Loves his blue, doesn't he?
