Maybe all Pinarellos and Colnagos should be sold with an entry to next years Etape ?!!!

Replying on the cycle forum is not wasted time (especially as i'm being payed and the new boss has taken a rare day off )

Yeah, this bike was discussed after the tv show - I'm sure it rides very nicely, and fits him to a tee - but it's not to my taste, and it's a horrible example of cherry-picking components individually rather than considering them as a whole.

Bit like how Der Kaiser got the Berliner Dom designed - a bit of everything - bleurgh!

Will, on the mid life crisis thread I think or could it be the bbc4 my dream bike programme or something like that, not 100%.

Yeah - The My Dream Bike thread - was a couple of weeks ago now.

Reynolds 953 stainless steel frame complete with a carbon cinelli bar/stem combo?

And orange with a black Brooks?!

All kinds of wrong IMHO!
