Re: Hammerhead Karoo 3

Yeah they have mostly all had Garmins this year. Still funny to see any possible announcement coming from CF first.

Re: Hammerhead Karoo 3

Would be fascinating to read his IPT contract and exclusionary clauses.

Re: New Giant TCR Advanced announced

I miss my TCR. I loved the seatmast integration but mostly because I liked knowing it was never going to slide down. Only issue I ever had was the soft metal on the clamp bolt although I think that material has since changed. Hope the "raw" finish on the new TCR has fibers visible, I dig that look.

Re: New Giant TCR Advanced announced

I do miss my TCR. Only miss I see here is a slightly confining bb standard. At least they do pf86 very well. Paint is hit or miss with Giant but overall looks like a wonderful update.

Re: 2024 Pro thread

I think it happens more than some realize - a conti team problem and a bummer that rarely any flexability is given. Big starts are hard to come by let alone any UCI race on an overseas block. I can speak to the frustration that comes from this rule having been on the short end of that stick. We show...

Re: Enve 1 Piece Cockpit

No justification on price here - just noting I find those ENVE bars very comfortably shaped. Haven't seen the EXS bars in person but they look nice as well but I do like ENVE bar shapes. Seems like a huge size run as well so I can only assume there is a cost associated with that. Will be interesting...

Re: 2023 Pro thread

As for the comment on the open mold and for those who don’t know the size of VR mother company. It’s like 15x times bigger than Specialized (yet spread across many sports), super profitable and with a strong culture of RnD. As side example how good they can be (sharing RnD with other sports), their...

Re: 2024 product release rumors

That's "just" an ENVE Custom Road - from the looks of it, a photo taken from The Service Course (ENVE dealer, partner) in Girona during their "GiRodeo" event recently.
