Appreciate any feedback you guys might have. We would love to offer more of this stuff, but need to know its worth the time invested!


As a subscriber to Ride I say a big yes to seeing more of it. Do you know Serge's FTP at all?

Wow -- that's one of the best-looking pro bikes I've ever seen. Neglecting the Shimano, of course.

James Huang is the best pro bike photographer in the business. He has the best eye for detail. I've looked at bikes @ shows and totally missed stuff he's picked up. He spends a lot of time, not only shooting but also talking with the involved parties. The man's a huge asset to Bike Radar / CyclingNews.

It also says that Goss' setback is 4.5? Is that not breaking the rules?

I like the set up though, slick looking bike.

Could be morphological exemption, which is fairly easy to get in the US, at least. I agree with all comments on the photo.

It's funny how when you rock up with a frame fit pump everyone takes the piss. Then when they puncture they all want to borrow it
