Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

Oh yeah, definitely about to pop.

The Kinesis uses a machined piece there, presumably to avoid having to squish tubes to fit superfat rubber in. Issue with that is no internal Di2 chainstay routing. But I'd rather than that snapage.

Looks like this might be heading in the right direction.

Nice.

Condor have never got any of my money since they fucked me on their Pista frame. Their manufacturing fault but I was the second owner and the first couldn't find the paperwork so no warranty. Kinesis have been pretty good - did me a crash replacement deal on my broken TK and let me have a Tripster when the 4S Disc broke.

Most of you probably have this sorted but I spotted this on the Igaro facebook page:

If you're riding the TCR this year use code TCR2018 in our shop for 33% off

They email you quickly afterward asking for proof of first deposit paid but that's it.

WELL, WELL, WELL, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE!?! REPLACEMENT FRAME 4 FREE, THAT'S WHAT!
Big ups to Bowman for sorting it out on the spot. Awesome dudes.
Now @hippy has competition for brightest bike.
Still looking at the chain stays on the new one with a healthy suspension hoping they dont suffer the same fate! Once bitten, twice shy.

Good to see a company stand by their product and do the right thing.

But the angle on those shifters looks for sore hands.

They bars seem to have rotated down a bit as they were OK when the bike was built. Will fix upon rebuild. Really great of them to sort it out when absolutely no obligation to.

Perhaps it’s a known issue ;)

Ha! Wasn't going to say that but has definitely crossed my mind :)

No chance. Mine crushes that with all its high-viz glory.

I definitely prefer the orange though. Looks purty.

Mine just got washed. Now I just need to swap the other set of pads, install a mudguard, lube the fucking speedprays, find out why the cranks are creaking so much (bet it's the lockring) and make it about 100x faster.

Blue Hunka bivvy for sells. Enquire within.

What are you using instead?

I never actually raced with the Hunka.
I've use a PHD bag cover or a custom bivvy or a RAB bivvy if it's looking cold. So, one of those for TCR.

Excuse me if this is a little personal but how tall are ya?

He is very comfortable in the company of midgets. That's all I'm saying.

180ish cm

They're comfortable around me...

"comfortable" is not how I describe BDSM.

If I change the text on the Wanted ads though I get far less applicants...

Fewer

you can't call them that just because they're small

So am i. How was the fit?

Racist.

Fork and head tube seem a lot beefier?
