knocking about on lfgss.

Never heard of it.

Very boring despite how expensive it is.

Hey, it's Yorgo. Pretty sure he used to have a login here. Maybe still posts in polo.

The (brushed titanium?) finish is very ugly in that light.

don't enve wheels just have one decal?

If you mean flat British daylight as viewed through a dirty cameraphone, I'm not surprised.

Yorgo's (username le car) thread on this bike is here.
FWIW I like it, bar the white ENVE logos.
Naked Ti bikes have a familiar style nowadays, generally understated. If anybody could work graphic magic with one though, it's this guy.

is that the harpers dude?

A cycling jersey that does not fit tight is just wrong.

Is it? why do you need it to fit tight?

That moots is awesome.

^ more aero init.

Looks like he's doing something rude to that Moots

Those sunglasses... :)

That bike was supposed to come with a moots ti stem too but they messed the order up. Had a go on that bike, bloody light!

not getting the moots stem and having to get the enve...

i feel his pain

First world problem but he can afford it so why not?

I think the ENVE stem looks a bit rubbish personally, I'd have gone for something in the £20 bracket and waited for the Moots stem to turn up.

Haha, I was joking, to be honest I actually quite like the enve stem, it might have something to do with the fact that it's so overpriced for what it is and is very unnecessary, and enve themselves have said that there are lighter, stiffer, cheaper non-carbon stems out there, yet people still have them...

I'd have waited for the moots too, that Enve stem looks a bit naff.

A cycling jersey is a specialized [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_%28clothing%29"][/URL]jersey (shirt) for cycling. While the vast majority of cyclists worldwide wear conventional clothing while riding, a jersey offers certain advantages for the sport-oriented cyclist.
A **cycling jersey **is cut long in the back to accommodate the bent-over position used in sport-oriented cycling.
Any pockets on the jersey are placed on the back panel as front pockets would tend to spill. The zipper is often made very long so that the cyclist can open up the jersey to allow for ventilation.
The cycling jerseyc is usually worn with a tight fit in order to reduce air resistance.

Just ripped from wiki.

I would say wearing a jersey it should be tight, unless its form over function. If the latter, any pro gear away from that situation looks lame/scruffy.
For instance football sock should be pulled up.

Being a bit nitpicky here but 'technically' it kinda should :/

It's not exactly billowing round him like a tent. He probably doesn't wear it for pro tour prologue time trials, and you want a bit of room for bananas in the back pocket for when you're out on your Sunday spin on your lovely new Moots.

Those socks though! ;-p

is 'your jersey doesn't fit right' the new internet bike fit?

Basically that wiki rip is a bit mince.

Sport-oriented is a bit misleading here. Over 99% of audax riders wear cycling jerseys and describing most of them as "sport-oriented" is just plain wrong.

Pockets on cycling jerseys are mainly at the back not because of potential spillage but simply out of comfort.

Again the air resistance part is mostly misleading. The majority of cyclists that wear cycling jerseys aren't really getting any significant aerodynamic advantage out of them. If we were going for that then the market would have already moved over to the multiple fabric models used by some of the pro-teams.
It also ignores the whole area of MTB type cycling jerseys which are typically a looser fit than road cycling jerseys designed around the need for a greater amount of movement and greater protection in the event of a crash.

Not convinced about the zipper argument either, I reckon it just makes the thing easier to take off. If you really wanted to ventilate that much, you'd get ones that unzip all the way so as to reduce the parachute effect.
