    It was brilliant to see so many people getting involved and making an effort to support the riders and the event.

    I meant for pro teams, although I'm sure one will crop up in a sportive soon

    I like the orange bike for Chavanel, you can spot him a mile off on that, he used to have a Specialized one at OPQS they did for him for his birthday.

    The stem on that looks really clumsy, because it is so much larger than the bars where it meets them.
    Red bikes are the fastest.

    The stem isn't nice (Time stems rarely are), but overall the bike is gorgeous.

    I had that frame in my hands last week (the white is actually lime green). Lovely quality but the graphics are bit basic. Nice aero bars.

    This sort of begs the question "would you buy an extremely ugly bike IF it were faster than the pretty ones"? Or does pretty trump everything? :?

    Pretty trumps most things. Would be nice if it was pretty and fast though.

    The 'pistolero' logos on the toes aren't the same. That would annoy me no end.
    Correlation is not causation.
