HI - has anyone had any experience, heard any reports on the Bottecchia Tourmalet T1.
http://www.bottecchia.com/en/modelli/t1-tourmalet
My LBS has some coming in and am interested. But haven't been able to find much about it. There are quite a few pics out there, just not much reported that I can find.
Be great to hear anything if known.
Cheers.

Amazing bike...reduced my times uphill almost by 10% in the first week I bought it (more on the flats but there was a lot of sleepstreaming involved since I am training with a team so I can not calculate anything)!! it trully is a weapon in the hands of someone who has a good engine....worth it's money.
I hope seane is kidding about believing he shaved 10% off his climbing times. Also I think sleepstreaming is when you wet your bed, not when you sit on someones wheel.

Strange to name an aero bike "Tourmalet" !

Well,garmin and strava are not kidding so therefore I am not either...and sorry for misspeling "slipstream" but english is not my primary language,found your comment very funny though
...and to avoid any misunderstandings I am not saying that the bike will help everyone so drastically...my shaved time can easily be explained due to the change from a shitty bike to a higher end one and even from the psychological boost that a new bike gives you...Samuel Sanchez Gonzalez wrote:Strange to name an aero bike "Tourmalet" !
It's not that strange considering that the general trend nowadays is to have aero bikes and climbing bikes merged into one (at least that is what they tried, but to tell you the truth,I don't even know if it is any aero at all, and I can't really tell without a wind tunnel,but it surely is a climbing bike!)
