    It was a glorious day for the Isle of Wight Randonee today, it would have been rude not to.

    I was standing next to you at some point today, i looked at the bike and thought i've seen that before

    Just googled that helmet and if I found the right one, your head must have been ready to explode from the heat.

    Oddly, not. I’ve found it to be so well ventilated ( owing to a genius design) that it’s more comfortable than ( plastic banana) lids.

    Thought about it for ages but decided against as I can't get the -ve angle I need. I'd have needed a smaller frame for it to work which I doubt I'll ever see for sale and it has black bars so would have looked weird anyway.

    I could do a zero100 cockpit in white but now I can't be bothered with the effort and cost and I like the way the stem shape sort of mirrors the top tube.

    One pic with pockets full and the other with a massive bumbag.

    Why not a second bottle cage and tool bottle?

    There is a bike further up the thread, white saddle/ seatpost, white stem then black bar tape.
    We all get to the point where its too much effort. nice bike though.

    Tub in the pocket, everything else in the bottle? I don't use them (tubs) but people talk about the Tufo one which folds down really small.

    After all, aesthetics is everything.

    I never stop during a ride. I think about it but always keep going as I can't be bothered with the faff of getting my phone out to capture whatever it was that made me think about stopping. On Sunday though the lure was too strong (and I was still recovering from my first ascent of Streatley Hill so the brief rest was welcome).

    Nice picture Figbat. I'm the same, whilst I do stop I don't tend to think about getting my phone out and taking a picture.
