Could this be the ultimate carbon winter bike? All it would need would be some Crud guards.

Oi!! That's my summer bike you're talking about!!! (Well, almost. I don't have the disc brakes. Nor the orange).

seems to be a lack of ability to mount crud guards though also that rubber looks a tad narrow for the winter?

Looks a bit like this..

It's no s-works but its a pretty reasonable bike and rides really well. Crud road racers fit it as well without any real issue.
It stops really well and the brakes haves a lot of feel. Im a big fan of it specially the COBL GOBL-R seat post. That never fails to impress me.

i do wonder who might own that?!
what other specs do you ride?
Cheers Ed

I'm doing something similar today - but there's a duathlon running on Box Hill today - no idea whether it's closed, or will just be extremely busy...

ahhhh balls ! Plus its blinking freezing out there right now . I went to feed my chickens first thing and my hands and toes where like blocks of ice . Hurry up sunshine !
Dare you to gate crash the duathlon and go through the finish line like you've just won it

 

[MichaelO]

Haha!! I might even set off earlier & burn my way up there - arms aloft at the finish line!!

 

[Cuchilo]

It would really confuse them if we both do it

Got there at about 1.30, and it was all over. Lovely day out there

I was a bit behind you as I went the leith hill way . That is one hell of a hill I didn't think it was going to end ! Great ride though and I think the imperial tonne has been done although that wasn't my aim .
