Always enjoyed your videos Shoddy Dave. Nice to see your genuine love for road racing coming through in the E3 Shimano video. Keep up the good work 👍🚴♂️
17 cm stem? Geez, I remember Cannondales at the Coors Classic in the 1980's with crazy-length stems and screwball seatposts with aluminum bar stock welded on so the seat could be shoved back far enough to fit the poor guys (Team Crest?) who had to ride 'em. Some things never change?
Aero bikes and fat tires. I miss the old days when the excitement was for the riders. BTW, is it my imagination or are the riders migrating towards a more comfortable, less aero-intensive posture on their bikes?
Very interesting Shoddy and thanks for sharing. I wonder if those teams who vary pressure between road and cobbles or change from 28 to 32 mm wide tyres have empiric measurements proving that they actually gain anything with it. My own experience shows not much difference between 28 and 32mm wide tyres (rough english country lanes).
I see mostly white, gray, and black frame colors, the Factor uses a grunge font style, while the Cannondale is in pink raw meat color, and the orange Derosa offers some aesthetic relief. The blue, orange, and red muddy blended Giant is plain weird. The S Works wants to enlist in the Russian SMO. These mostly End Time colors depress me.
