    Maybe those rumours about Canc's bike were true?

    btw - this is the first time I've noticed the umlaut on Franks name......I thought you'd gone all heavy metal on us, but it seems to be correct!

    Bizarre.


    Mandy looks like a giant compared to Frank...dont think Schleck is that short either, over 6 foot.

    He's not the best advertisment for a professional sportsman in the looks department is he?!

    He looks totally dwarfed by that bike. A breath of wind and he's off.

    NO, but that is why he is a PRO cyclist.

    True, but that he's a pro and thus quick is a given. But I wouldn't describe the 100th best tennis player as 1 of the best in the world. So equally being a professional doesn't instantly make you one of the quickest...

    It's only a commercial, a sworn affidavit. Similarly, Lynx may not make all men irresistible to women, very few meerkats speak with a Russian accent and, in the Congo, Um Bongo is not drunk as widely as reported.

    On the other, we can all agree that 'Mandy' is enormous and likely to devour us all.

    Ok perhaps its me.. Obviously as a percentage all professional sportsman are the best in the world in their field. But I was more viewing it that if you just take the professional body on their own rather than comparing them to the human average.

    Well while he's unlikely to beat Cav in a flat sprint or Cancellara in a TT he'd murder both of them up an Alpe and be considerably quicker than them over the course of a 3 week GT.

    Frame of reference, innit?

    Usain bolt is the fastest man in the world but would get panned in the 5000m. If you are talking pure speed it has to be the sprinters or TT'ers

    Frank now has an Electric Bike which has been customised to his specific needs-

    Sorry to be a little bit nerdy but at the 21 seconds mark see how the camera can't keep up with Frank's constant twitching. He must ride an extra 1000 miles when he's riding a Tour.

    PS- WATCH OUT FOR THAT SWIMMING POOL FRANK!!!!!!!!!!
