Is this The Friday Thread? It should be. Why would you ride with a saddle bag? They are k@K looking and things fall out of them ( and clearly they rub your chubby thighs stukkend) . The first responder had the right idea even if it was from the Roadie Bible. Jersey pockets are the place for your sh$t. If you don't have a roadie style top with pockets ( which I doubt), strap your sh$t to the frame or take a back pack. Never ever use a saddle bag.

Custom painted Ti gravel bikes from the CTCT expo - a cool R200k plus.

That is probably a really effective gravel bike. I'd ride it, ugly or not.

Still have a team in the DH WC. I think that ones the least ugly Pole. I would ride it. Something about that hewn from a solid lump of metal vibe...

I'm no pro and can barely ride a bike, but I'll be 48 in a couple of months, and I noticed a steady decline in my speed throughout the last few years. In my mind, I am going at light speed, but then I see my riding mates, some of whom are 2 decades my junior disappear down the trail while I am barely holding on.
I rode the Conties full Enduro last week and I set my fastest times down all the lines, and still came nearly stone last. There is a point in one's life where you just hit that performance wall and then speed is one of the first things to vacate the premises.
I don't disagree but I think it is different for everyone. Greg effectively got a top 30 finish. Much younger riders crashed out too. He's hoping to depart on a high which adds some pressure. I'm hoping this is just a minor hiccup on the way to a great season

That was probably the best version of the FW track ever. Fast and slow bits blended together. How was BK's semis crash?!? Greg needs to get on top of his game - that was a silly crash and very disappointing after the "not Done Yet" hype. He did manage to get 32 points though. The lack of Cedric on commentary brought a smile to my dial. Gwin was great backing up bergie Ric. New venue in Poland on the 17th. Should be fun.

No, he really should beat himself up.

Yes you should Ken. 😅
The new coverage is a bit weird. The Whoop UCI insta is full of promos for the Jr racing but the Staylive coverage only has the elite advertised. I suspect that the Jr and qualifying may well be live on YouTube, but they are doing their best not to put that out there.
This is surely one of the ugliest bikes out there? Or perhaps you disagree? Go wild.

Wow, you poured cold water on that interaction 🙂

Maybe the era of every brand trying to be Guchi or Jimmy Choo - i.e you pay for the name not what you're actually getting, is drawing to a close?
Love the commentators who are late to the party, presumably because they're checking their grammar on chatGPT, and miss the point or humor in a comment they select to ridicule. It like make me lol

I can confirm that the brake hoods are good quality and fitted the levers perfectly. They also survived my blunt force fitment procedure without tearing.

You see that's kind of okay because it doesn't look like a ball bag suspended from your rails.
