Looks fast. Question though, how are those bars for riding on the flats for any length of time. They look very aerodynamic but very painful.

That saddle!! How come so far forward Tom...?

Looks nice othewise. I was debating getting some aero fly bars too.

Very good question, can't imagine the pedal action to be too efficient?

[okgo]

I might be wrong but I think with the negative stem you're probably having to reach so far forward that unless you're extremely flexible you're having to compensate by shoving the seat right over the BB.

I would measure your saddle setback Tom and see where the tip is in relation to the BB, you may actually find that stem up the other way is far more efficient for you as you can put the saddle more centrally.

Rose Pro SL-2000 bought for £800 direct from Germany. Sold the Mavic Aksium's and replaced with Reynolds Assault. Going to replace the bars (shallow drop) and saddle (wider) then we're ready to go!

Placed order, waited a few weeks as advised, bike arrived. No problems at all.

After finding the zipp 303 is too wide, I got some Enve 6.7, glued tubs and put on tonight to have a look. need another cassette but wanted to see how they looked. Pretty good I thought.





Saddle doesn't look flat ha, it is though

Nice, I was close to purchasing one of these, went for a Propel though. TCR is still a great looking bike though.
