I remember on a ride last year he had 28c hybrid tires mounted to his Madone that only cleared the frame by maybe 2mm at most. His explanation was "its winter I can go slower plus I will never flat"

I happen to have that saddle bag. Now, saddle bag resembling the size of luggage that would be different. :mrgreen:

You forgot uncut steer tube.

haha very true! But don't forget the front skewer tightened at a funny angle and the speed sensor on seat stay (possibly a clearance issue) :lol: He looks quite happy in that first shot. Look forward to seeing him at some tours this year :thumbup:

I like the ski strap for the pump. Freire's duct tape job was better, but you cannot top that.

Joe is riding a bike which most likely rivals his own body's weight.
