    What's Fizik's thinking apart from a spot of marketing?

    Oh, Pinno. It's April 1st

    Elsewhere, Chris Froome is running the Paris Marathon, Paris-Roubaix will have a night finish and Lizzie Armitstead's missed tests were British Cycling's fault.

    I have always been used to "keep up at the back" but thanks for the heads up.

    "Lizzie Armitstead's missed tests were British Cycling's fault" - of course it was.

    Coryn Rivera's Falnders Giant. In size XS as befits her height of 5 feet. Love the-20° stem and 11-32 cassette.

    Canyon have added SRAM RED eTap HRD versions of the Aeroad, Ultimate and Endurace for loads of £££

    Pro version of the Canyon, Pauline Ferrand-Prevots bike in Tour of Flanders mode. Probably because I'm on the shorter side, I love the look of most womens bikes, compact and agressive.

    Is it me or do those Canyon's look dull and uninspiring?

    I like Aeroads. Might be the black background. The canyon sram colours are good too.

    I rode a bike with etap on it a couple of weeks ago - wasn't much different to di2. The single shifter on each side was a bit weird to begin with.

    The only way you got to do that is if you nicked it, so give it back.

    It wasn't the hrd version.

    Yes it wasn't my bike - both of mine have Tiagra on them :)

    One of my mates rides for a bike shop and his bike this season is a Tarmac with etap, and he let me ride it for a 40km spin. Nice bike.

    I don't find them dull and uninspiring obviously. There are some photos with a white background e.g.

    Yeah had a shot last year. Did about 100km, wasn't quite used to the shifting by the end. But I have always had Shimano, Di2 Ultegra was impressive.

    X-Wind shoes at Taipei Cycle Show. Woven top (like Nike I guess?).

    i like them a LOT! except that the toe box looks exceptionally square from the side. also if they are like nike flyknits then they will last about 3 days in the UK "summer" before becoming sodden and misshapen/discoloured, but they are very comfortable.

    I was going to buy an Allez Sprint this year till we decided to get a house instead. Not the fixie version though. And the lairy colour schemes are hard to get in the UK!

    That's actually really nice. If only they could have found their way to putting Campag on there :P

    Well, they did manage to sneak some Fulcrum's on to it, so it's not a total disaster.

    Can anyone work out what the wording is on the gold stuff is?

    They're Giro winners' names, as far as I can tell. A star for each win.
