Dreamweapon

Here it is folks, my new bike, back at home and ready to rock Desaru and Singapore in the next 4 weeks...

I didn't pay much attention to the frame dimensions and have ended up with a huge steerer tube extension above the head tube! Fortunately I think I can lower the bars a bit.

The business end - Shimano Dura-Ace and Look Keo Carbon pedals. Finally I step up from 16 to 20 gears!

Not much to see from the front (that is the idea!).

Closer view. Note the unusual saddle nose. Getting to my favourite bit now...

2008 HED Aerobars. Not even on the HED website yet - expensive but very very sexy!

50mm Planet X Carbon Wheels with Conti Sprinter Tubs - must learn how to change them!

Finally - a peculiar but potentially very comfortable ISM Adamo Road saddle
with Hydro-tail and twin carbon bottle cages.

The only sad thing is that with a bike like this I'll no longer get that wonderfully satisfying feeling of overtaking riders on flashy tri-bikes whilst atop a scruffy old road bike!
