Your other, other ride...

I have a new summer steed for 2013

Giant TCR Composite 1 2012
Full Carbon Frame and Forks based on the Team Rabobank geometry
Full Shimano Ultegra Groupset
Giant Branded DT Swiss wheels

I have matching bottle cages now, but haven't taken a photo since installing them.

Posted in the other thread, so might as well post this now. Decent bank holiday weekend meant that I spent a good 20 miles scratching around the Forest of Dean on my Trek 4300 (now back with the OEM knobblies instead of the Schwalbe Marathons) and did a good 60 miles breaking in the saddle on my Merlin Maven... I hate the hills around here in the Cotswolds!!! I've yet to find a 400+ft ascent that's less than 10%! Good training mind

In many ways, I'm glad that the Fireblade is out of action, means I can fanny about on pushbikes and get fit again!

Just off Cooper's Hill/Brockworth. Literally 2 mins from junction 11A on the M5. Plenty of decent routes around here, but I did cleeve hill again today on the roadbike... what a world of difference compared to the MTB.

You're by Thornbury aren't you Jon?
