Tarmac SL6 for me - for my previous bike, I built from the frame up (Far East carbon frame), but this thing is awesome, and a beautiful paint job. I can only marvel at what the latest iteration would be like to ride…
Excuse the background…

Had a bit of a late start this year with racing. Round 1 was a few weeks ago. Round 2 tonight.

Nice @BloodnThunder how did you do?
-
@Nik Team did well. Early break ended up sticking, which is rare for a crit. My team had two in it so my role shifted to playing a lot of defense and shutting down any bridge attempts. No idea what place I was, maybe 6th or 7th, but my team won so that's all that matters.

Nice work sounds really fun
-
It's typically really fun unless you crash.

One from last Thursday. The team went 1-2-3 in the sprint. I spent a good chunk of the race in a break that unfortunately couldn’t play nice enough to stay away so I took up lead out duties at the end.

Finally back on the bike
after one year suffering and a knee surgery! Still an issue with my lower back , but it’s ok at the moment. MRI examination is tomorrow, hope it’s not that bad.
Second ride today unfortunately ended after just 10 km , some bloody bastards smashed beer bottles on the street and this killed my back tyre immediately.
-
@Daniel-San hope thescan will show nothing bad mate! And what a €&$>£*^ who smashed those bottles..
-
No extra tube or patch kit with you? What did you do?
-
@Nik
called my wife to pick me up
Never had a problem before ,cause the roads here are good . And it should have been a short ride of max 30 km do I wasn’t prepared. -
Yes, I hope the scan has positive results @Daniel-San. If not, what size frame is that? 🫣

Just in case someone is looking for a new gravel bike . contact me.

@goosehd it’s a Scott Addict RC 15, 7.6kg, 35mm carbon wheels, Ultegra DI2 12 speed, Favero Assioma power pedals, profile design aero bar clip ons for Triathlon Training.
Wasn’t yet ready to shell out big money for a full TT bike and since I live close to the alps I wanted a bike that could still climb well. I am not sure about the gearing yet. It came with a 52/36 11-30 setup. For the steep climbs I might have to grind a bit or increase my FTP .Only did one 50km ride (a little bit over 30miles) yet. The bike is fast and electronically shifting is so so smooth.

@Daniel-San it’s not a roadmachine with gravel tyres isn’t it?
-
@Dmart
no it’s the Kaius 01 from BMC .
