New TT bike for my wife.

After her first time trial at the weekend (she came 2nd overall) she decided she wanted a dedicated TT bike which she can use for TT races and also when she does a triathlon. She tasked me to find one over winter in time for next season, but I don't work like that ha.

This is now our 9th bike between us, should probably shift a few.

Nice bike - Why do pedal bikes always look extremely uncomfortable. :eek:

Depends on the bike really, some can be very comfortable if you're in a nice upright position. On a TT bike in aero position though, not so much. Can be helped with a proper bike fit.

I dont really see anything wrong with his content

I used to watch his videos religiously for about 3 years, then i found it got boring and just stopped watching him. Haven't seen any of his videos for over a year now. That's not to say that his stuff is not worth watching, it definitely is. I guess i've just outgrown his content.

ha, me too.

He got big really quickly, Casey Naistat even had him drop by on his channel, but somewhere along the line I unsubscribed. It’s not the content or him as I think he is a cool dude and the guy knows how to make a good video, but something else. Like that coffee brewer, I rather watch James Hoffman’s take on it as he is more an expert.

I've done that with a few. I used to enjoy watching Thomas Heaton but there's only so many times you can watch similar videos before it gets boring.

Exactly. I haven't watched him in a long time but didn't unsubscribe, so when the coffee video popped up it sparked my interest (being a coffee lover). The putting together of the coffee brewer is a perfectly crafted peice of film making with great choice of music. I have forgotten the rest of the content but that part has stuck in my mind.
At the opposite end I enjoy watching Sean tucker for some reason (maybe his voice)

A few more on top of a wardrobe! Happiest days of my life running Tamiya cars with my mates in the late 80's early 90's.

I really can’t remember now… it’s a few decades ago when I had it.

Is the Thunder Shot a Re Re?

I recently bought an Avante 2011 as I don't have a "runner" Avante and wanted the box to frame the box art. I've framed a Top Force rere and original Egress box art.

Guess just re-using last years? Bit like how it was Euro 2020 in the summer?

Seems stupid for a music festival though. Especially since the dates at the bottom are 2022!
