Great write up Jeff, you're putting in some solid C races with great results. After September i'll start doing races again, we could work as a team, 'bkool splitters'

I'm slightly biased but it's an incredible frame it really is. And obviously a good upgrade fit wise from the Allez. Are you thinking new or second hand Kip? There's definitely a massive drop in price second hand so there are 'bargains' to be had. Brand new the sl5 is still the same price as when I bought my frame and it's rare they go below that, even with a new frame being released spesh are very controlling in that regard.

If you go ultegra I'd still get a dura ace or praxis chainset. It just doesn't look right with an ultegra one. Like Bob says, what a lucky son!

Thought I was there for a minute, great write up as always.
May start to do some racing again even join you on the kiss races

Like your idea Andy

Jeff, excellent write up as always. Like Andy says come the autumn let's all race together as a team.

I will try but pm me your email and I can download and send direct. Will you be wanting the gpx file?

 

[bobinski]

Hell no! The thought of going beyond the dulux / crown paint isle, gives me a nose bleed!

Team bkool vs team splitters would be interesting, if there was a way of making a level playing field, which there isn't at present.

Admittedly it'd be a little predictable...

Can we bring Dave (sticky bottle)?

You can. Unfortunately you can't have a trailer!

You can. Unfortunately you can't have a trailer!

Careful, in every cycling movie the underdogs win. Those of us who ride in both worlds may chose the " gritty come from behind, wounded foot taped to the pedal" team.

You're quite right Randy

But please don't mention the wounded... it'll only encourage Bob to mention his knee !

I didn't realise Bob was part Native American. Is he in denial about his wounded knee?

Ha!Ha!
Actually I see someone else on the bkool forum has tried to take over as the holder of the wounded knee
Mine, as I am sure you all know, is really more about my ITB issues. Feck, is my sports masseur enjoying working that over. I tell you it is actually worse than using a roller as he takes his knuckle and applies it to the length of the band, starting just inside the hip and working his way slowly to the knee once, then again...and again. I am sure i cried out-or I would have if i could breathe but such is the intensity of the pain i think i held my breath throughout the whole process.

On a separate note i rode the Rapha 3 sisters ride on zwift today and my bloody legs are now tight and sore. That aside its a really good ride ( though precious little time to warm up) and worth a CC chaingang at some point. I did it in 1h 48 so that gives you all an idea of how long it would likely take.
