Here is the new man in my life - his name is Dale (Cannondale Slice 4 Rival). I purchased him about 2 months ago as I needed a smaller time trial bike (my Felt was a 50cm - the tri bars were set back that it was in line with the brake hoods). Dale is a small 47cm size.
I picked him up on the 23rd July and had it fitted properly (with RETUL) by Coach Ollie. Since then, I have been using him on my windtrainer sessions to get use to the position so I don't wreck my back and shoulders during the race season.
Took this little bike out on Saturday last week along Studley Park (Kew Blvd) - it was the first time the tyres touched the road. As it was a hilly ride, I didn't ride the bike down on the TT bars for more than a few minutes. The bike handles great and will try to take it out on the roads soon to get use to it.
