It's wonderful, isn't it? Pity it has the longer 407mm seatstays, I loved the ultra-short rear.

Sorry guys, erratum: of course I was referring to the chainstays (not seatstays ..). You can spot the greater distance between rear tyre and seat tube just like the present TCR Triple.


Completely OT: Johan Coenen who is also active on WW ('Johancoenen') is in the lead group at todays 'Rund um den Henninger Turm' a major Elite race in Germany together with guys like Thorsten Schmidt und Danilo Hondo (Giro stage winner) from Team Gerolsteiner. Keep your fingers crossed he makes it to the finish with a chance to win! :D

Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) wins, then Danilo Hondo and Coenen on a great third place. Congrats, it was a very tough race with hefty climbs and rain from start to finish.
