Can you post the headset?

Price for the Campy front and 9 speed rear mech? also what's the condition like?

Here is Jens Voigt riding a far too small, clip and strap neutral service bike in the TDF a few years back. It's simply not possible to have the right size bike with right pedals available to all the riders on mountain stages when they are spread over many miles of road.

That pic looks like an Astronaut riding a donkey.

They are/were aluminium Cannondales. Clips and straps, Mavic wheels. Don't know about group sets but I think they're Shimano, probably Ultegra.

Interesting, Thanks.

In the Giro it's Pinarellos.

Looks like the giro sold the advertising space to the highest bidder, so they put better bikes up there. Pretty cool though, cheers.

Thats helped me out quite a bit folks, it hard to research something when you don't even know the name of what you're looking for!

They're called neutral support vehicles. In the tour sponsored by Mavic and in the giro, Vittoria?

so is that the same crew that supply the "standard road racing bicycle"?

This is a bit vague but I seem to remember watching/ reading about a car that carries replacement bikes during the tour, incase a rider's bike failed. Not a team car or anything like that, they were completely standard bikes with clip/ strap pedals.
Can anyone shed some light on this as I cant find any info and would like to know more about the spec etc of the bikes (if they even exist!).
Taa.

1) samurai medium

any samurai m left?

Assuming it is the same guy, when the velodrome site was set up he was stealing photo's and reports from other sites without permission or acknowledgement. he would have just been a kid at that stage but it would make me a little wary because as teenslain said it's a lot of bike for the money. Oh and Ambrosia don't manufacture in the uk so he either means assembled or is bullshitting.

worrying. not got round to calling them yet, will see what they have to say.

Why not ask Riva Sports (coincidentally the same name as the frame) about these? They'll know if they're actually Ambrosio or not, they are the UK dist' for Ambrosio.

good idea, thanks for the tip.

yea, think i'm gonna go for it, the site says "the bike is manufactured in the UK" which is interesting. Will post a review if I get it.

some pics.

Just found this and looks decent, anyone have experience with these bikes? any insight into the quality etc?

Just basking in the warm embrace of the forum...
