Poor quality phone photo taken during a pi$$ break on lap 2 of Box Hill for our Olympic Road race course ride (only 2 laps of Box Hill though). I was going to make a comment about the bike being back in its natural environment but it would probably have to be in some Brasilian rainforest for that.
I've glued in some threaded inserts so I can now carry 2 water bottles for the long rides. It was very comfortable for a 100+ mile ride and I was only beaten up Box Hill by a friend on a 7kg Canyon full carbon weight weenie. I did weigh it the other day and it comes in at 10kg on the dot. I guess with better components that could easily be reduced by well over a kilo but I've never been massively bothered by weight weenie nonsence. Better legs are all that's needed.
