Just a quick one. We had our team launch on Sunday which meant getting all the new kit and most importantly of all, our new bikes!!! They are sooooo sweet. I didn’t think there’d be much of a difference between my CAAD9 and the SuperSix but I was wrong. It is a lot more comfortable and yet stiffer as well. It’s even noticeably stiffer while sat which was a suprise! I could go on and on about how good its felt, but after the first few races and once I’m properly position on it I’ll say more.
So the team launch, it actually really good. I don’t think there are many people who like their photo being taken, espcially when in lycra on a cold day but it wasn’t that bad. Even the presentation in the evening was alright!! Some dodgy music choices, don’t think Mike Cotty was too impressed!! After laughing about this it was eventually time to go home and play the bike and kit that we got. The BIORACER kit (http://www.bioracer.com/startpage.aspx) is awesome, I really like the skin suit, and the kit bags are fantastic. All ready using it loads for school! (Not my school bag, just to take my cycling stuff to school). We also got some Gore stuff (http://www.gorebikewear.co.uk/remote/Satellite/HomePage), my favourite being the Gore jacket that we all got with some team stitching on it, don’t think its been off my back, (http://www.wheelbase.co.uk/products/gore_cosmo_so_jacket.htm). The best bit about the jacket is the my Dad is really jealous!!!
So I’ve done a few hours on the bike, nothing has changed yet apart from some minor adjustments, but I think I will change to some traditional handlebars as the compact ones for me just don’t seem to go low enough so I don’t feel solid when descending or sprinting. But other than that, not a single criticism. It just awesome.
Different reports on the team launch, along with photos.
