The Farah Frogmouth Panama Weave Trouser is as utilitarian as it is stylish, at once reliable and fashionable. This trouser is made of 100% polyester and comes in a flat front cut with woven print and diagonal pockets, as well as F tab branding above the rear right pocket.'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0 -
https://cyclingindustry.news/shimano-an ... alignment/“Among bicycles equipped with a single front sprocket and a plurality of rear sprockets, gear shifting has been conventionally carried out by operation of a rear derailleur. When a gear shifting operation is performed by operation of the rear derailleur, chances are that a chain is disposed in an oblique position relative to the faces of the front sprocket while being wound around the front sprocket and any of the rear sprockets. When the chain is disposed in an oblique position while being wound around the front sprocket and any of the rear sprockets, it is concerned that the chain may be disengaged from the front sprocket. In light of this concern, a conventional construction has been proposed for making the chain unlikely to be disengaged from the front sprocket. In this conventional construction, the front sprocket is configured to be movable in an axial direction arranged in parallel to a rotational center axis whereby the chain is unlikely to be disposed in an extremely oblique position.”
I thought this was a good idea especially given crossover replicas and current 12 speed cassettes. Basically a sliding front 1x chain ring /chainset to keep an efficient chain line. I'm sure it's not as easy as it sounds to get working efficiently and reliably.0 -
I am impressed by this but don't know how to put a picture on

That Orbea looks suspiciously similar to an Aeroad, but I like it.
There's a new Bianchi aero bike as well which is a bit more reasonably priced than the Oltre and has similar lines.0 -
It's the Aria:

Canyon have managed the aero stem better. I think the Orbea looks great (better than aeroad - more slopping top-tube) except for the stem/steerer junction.
That Bianchi Aria is lovely0 -

It's nice looking, eh? And there will apparently be a disc brake version also...0 -
Very nice. Only thing is I like the Oltre too, looks a bit more special - the Aria looks like that Orbea and the Aeroad (straight tubes, horizontal toptube, big downtube, dropped seatstays).
Also I think aero bikes should really have hidden brakes

Salmon hill was pretty steep so I would guess 52/42. I fully expect I'm wrong though:)0
