Our thoughts and best wishes are for all New Zealanders..

It's to my absolute disgust that an aussie could inflict such pain and suffering on our NZ brothers and sisters.

This deranged person has an agenda of hate that covers a wide spectrum of our multicultural society in both Australia and NZ.

I won't go into his "political" view points but make no mistake.. He has attacked our society as a whole, remember.. It's New Zealanders that was injured and killed not a religion or ethnicity.

Stay safe my friends.

Are those the 3T Aeronova handlebars you're riding in this photo?

If so, how do you like them?

100k with the Bullitt today. A bit surreal, the pass had flashing signs that snow chains would be obligatory, and people skied on both sides of the road.

That “Bullitt” deserves its own thread and explanation.

I am not sure about the Watts that Strava calculates (I think they are too low for the Bullitt), but otherwise, average speed 17.5km/h, 1360m climb, average pulse 162. Not in good shape at the moment.

It is just across the border in France (the photos are in Gex and at the Col de la Faucille).

It is lighter than a stock Bullitt, light enough for a Gallery-Thread?

It’s not about the weight, it’s about it’s uniqueness. Would love to see a brief thread on it. Never seen anything like that before.

When you decide to go long it's no secret you're going to get dropped (Red Jersey) when the Vert kicks in lol awesome 5h despite the slop and rain.

Love the Bullitt, been eyeing one for a while to be able to take my kid who is special needs out in it.

There are cargo bike races for them too. Lot of cool builds

Rode the Paris-Nice Challenge with JaJa, has no clue it was him but I did think ‘jeez this older guy is really crushing the descent and flying on the flat.’ He didn’t push it on the up tho.
