Try to look past the fact that I'm a Triathlete. Here is my aero rig.

Good to see some Slowtwitch people over on the WW side of things. There is no reason to not have a light weight aero bike. Aero trumps weight but if you can have a 15 lbs aero bike it is all good.

Well, the QR is a little portly by WW standards, but she rides like a fast dream.
I posted my upgraded roadie on ST. Impressive there, but maybe still a little lacking here at 14.8lbs.
good to see you around these parts too.

2 TT-bikes... and I will finally get them in action for me in the same race on 23 Sept., riding the Duo Normand with a team mate: I will be on the Cervélo P3, he will be on the Litespeed Blade. :D

Sorry mate... :oops:

And it was cool to have my both bikes in action during yesterday's Duo Normand, though we were way off the winning pace of Bradley Wiggins and Michiel Elijzen (Cofidis). :) I'm the one with the silver helmet and overshoes.

Wow... that's cool. He doesn't happen to be on this pic I found on my dads camera, does he?

There was a tandem event, a handisport event, mixted teams... quite impressive what kind of guys all proceeded the UCI official race. It contributed to the awesome athmosphere in Marigny: it's more than just a TT, but a great massive event! While warming up I saw some of those guys and was really amazed.

My buddy and I went there to have fun: to do the event, have a good training and experience... he's doing cycling competition, while I have stopped with cycling races and am doing duathlon now. So we enjoyed and tried to make it a good effort. The first part is a really fast one, where speed doesn't go below 55km/h. I felt strong and pulled long turns in front at high speed. The second part was harder, and it took me miles before I realised my power was fleeding away, party because my back wheel touched my P3 frame; after a stop, I felt stronger again. :roll: But we did quite ok, had a great time on the bike and in Normandy (we visited Mont-St-Michel!).

Me too i was at the duo normand, but i performed the elite race with my road bike, and with the result was not very good due to problems occured in the last lap!!

Do you have some more pictures of this very interesting race.

Small... allows me to get really low and get the bike under me. Just a whole lot more comfortable on that then the medium. I'm pretty strangly built as well... long legs, but quite short upper body.
