Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe Tarmac SL8 fork with Hope RX2 caliper.

Not showing up particularly well in this photo but the logos all wrap around to the inside of the fork legs.

I swapped out the wheel decals on the SL7 from Red to Black.

I know it’s more subtle & classy now but kinda regretting it. Bike sang to me before 🙂

Anyway, it’s now my 1X circuit bike, the SL8 is going to be the roadie.

I’m an absolute sucker for white bikes.

I find it almost annoying how many black bikes I’ve accidentally accumulated. 😬

Roval Rapide cockpit

Excuse the wacky floor (my office) & it’s nighttime here.

I overlaid a white decal on the Roval cockpit on my SL7.

This Alaska meeting:

Putin’s going to offfer Odessa as Trumpingrad Resort with a harbour feature a 100m high statue of Donald the boats sail through.

A man of infinite vanity can’t say no.

Same m/o the Israeli’s pulled on Trump with Gazza, which he fell for hook, line and VR fly through render.

I get your point but as sure as night follows day I’d get videoed & fined for undertaking whilst the idiot gets clean away with thoughtless & reckless driving.

Aww don’t be sad, I’m just err, slightly living your life for you a a little bit.

Although im probably over compensating for lack of charm and charisma by having to many nice bikes so its way better being you. 🙂

Roval Rapide Cockpit on a Specialized Tarmac SL7

I get your point, I run the 100mm stem, why the 38 only comes with a 90 stem seems silly.

I’m happy with the 400x100 Rapide Cockpit because of my shoulder width.

I have that set up on my SL7.

Specialized Tarmac SL8 Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe Frameset

Still waiting on the Roval CLXiii wheels from back order but had enough waiting. Time to start building this up.

Only 86 days left!

Donald does as he’s told, or Vladimir will release the Epstein files un-redacted.

Never going to happen unless the U.S. car makers adapt:
RH drive
Smaller
Fuel efficient
Better Design
Meet safety standards

In the U.K. tax law has just changed, double cab trucks are now taxed as cars not commercial vehicles. This is going to kill demand for Hi-Lux, L200, Ford Ranger etc

Porridge oats box with the slogan “guid gear inside” “Good gear inside”

I have porridge for breakfast most mornings, nutritious and tasty, but:

It’s only Scotland where you’d find packaging designed to appeal to the most overlooked but important demographic - druggies.

The rumour went that Ineos were losing Pinarello as they transfer to Q3.65 for 2026 onwards.

Remco is contracted to ride Specialized like Segan used to be therefore as part of a deal to get Remco, Ineos would switch to the big S.

Thou shall carry a quick link and share it willingly.

Actually done this in real life when a ride mate snapped his chain.

Does the Ineos Grenadiers to Specialized bikes for 2026 rumour die with their dream of signing Remco?

That’s good climbing power!

I’ve got good legs, it’s the spare tyre I’m carrying around the middle that’s holding me back…

Oooft scrub that, 214W normalised for over 4 hours. Definitely getting stronger.

It’s kinda not deliberate / deliberate iyswim.

I just sometimes hit the power when appropriate to see where it ends up.

More importantly I’m hitting 210W av for 90 mins duration now. 🙂

I seem to remember the whole point of the raids was to go after gang members…..

Strava power graph, 905W peak on old legs

Need a new target. Turns out I hit my peak power target of 900W a couple of weeks ago on the ride when bust my hand up.

900W might not sound much for those with monster legs, but at m age…… well chuffed. 🙂

B; I’m the limit.

Me; there is no limit.

B; aaaahaaahaaahaa

My attitude to crypto is steadfast & unwavering:

Anything Mat Hancock tried to advertise & popularise is monumentally shit & always will be. Hard avoid.

1943 but things might not of moved on much…..

* 14% pumped up really hard

* 59 were soft, and capable of giving only about half….

*27% were so soft that early failure was inevitable

😳

Not listened yet as I don’t want to colour my opinion of what I’m about to say:

Maverick Viñales as the light at the end of the KTM tunnel has suprised me pleasantly and impressed me the most.

Pity he got injured but more to come I hope.

I forgot Wings even existed. At one point i did follow that account, until I realised it didn’t align with anything approaching normal thought processes or behaviour.
