LT42 Saw the Quickstep team out on stage last night in Copenhagan with a pic of Cavendish from last year’s race on the big screen behind them. Strange.
Millsy Thinking of rinsing my cycle to work scheme for a gravel bike. Hit me with your recos, you daft cycle weirdos. Current front runner is the Cannondale Topstone 4.
Millsy Mad_Cyril yep. Never took the plunge last time as read a lot of Grant’s posts on this thread and vomited down my Spandex one piece. Decided it wasn’t for me. But my head has been turned since.
Dubman Saw a couple of lads up the downs this morning riding gravel bikes. Dressed head to toe in full lycra. It looked like they took the wrong turn and ended up going off road.
Mad_Cyril Millsy Aha, glad I’m not going mental! Get it done, summat new and shiny makes everyone’s lives better. This is the way
Millsy Along_the_Wire will I be looked down upon by the mamil massive? I’m literally as novice as it comes in the whole cycling game so very happy to defer to the wisdom on here. I was actually shocked you can pay c£1k for a bike and a) that’s considered ‘entry level’ and b) the fucking bastard thing comes without pedals. ‘oh you want handlebars mate? Extra’.
Along_the_Wire Millsy you can get brilliant bikes for a grand these days. I don’t want to sound like a cunt, but PM me, I can get you some really decent recommendations - gravel is not my thing, but loads of mates are bang into it
Old-Dutch There’s a shop on the High St. by me and they’ve got bikes in the window priced at £15k. Think about that for a second.
Along_the_Wire The crowds are mental in Denmark - Magnus Cort must feel like a million dollars out front solo and in the King of the Mountain jersey. Actually gives me goose-bumps.
LT42 Along_the_Wire yeah it’s brilliant. He’s on some buzz right now. The coverage and commentary on Eurosport is first class an all. There’s not one voice or pundit I don’t have time for, even Wiggins is brilliant with his analysis.
