You were riding a grey Trek Madaone, you had on Pearl Izumi bib shorts. You had long black hair, a black and white specialized helmet and white leather gloves with the palm bit in black. Your bike had toe cages and you were wearing trainers. Your bike had a 105 front crank, 105 brake calipers and an Ultegra rear derailer.

You were riding through Clapham, past Oval, along Kennington road between 7.45am and 8am. You then headed along the Cut.

I was the black guy on the Kuota Kharma. You told me to pass you at one stage, I did. At the lights I looked back, I think you smiled.

You have a great pedal technique.

You push a big gear.

    Pervert.

    She clearly has no taste anyway:

    1: She rides a Madone
    2: She rides a Madone with toe clips and trainers
    3: She smiled at you.

    I take issue with the latter part of point two. Despite the toe clips she put ('a whole heap of') "pepper" down on the road. As for the big gear, she had a double, like mine, and didn't get out of the second to last (maybe third to last) rear cog. She was also in the big ring.

    There is nothing, I repeat nothing wrong with a Madone.

    However I agree with the toe clips and trainers thing, if you have a Madone you should go clipless.

    I didn't think it was possible to get on a Madone with trainers, the carbon must have been weeping

    Madones are rubbish, aren't they? No-one riding one has won the Giro or the Vuelta or the Tour on it.... .. :lol: I'm not going to argue with 2 or 3 though!!

    Early stage triathlete. FACT.

    You, OTOH, are an early stage dirty old man. Anyone would think it's spring time all of a sudden. :P

    Ok. I'll buy the "there's nothing wrong with a Madone" line.

    But isn't it a bit like having a really, really well spec'd top of the range Ford? :twisted:

    DDF: Thought he still had one (though not if she sees this thread perhaps!). WSI: Perhaps MTB-Idle meant WSD (as in this). LTR: pass....
