Vetplant Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Triathlon pushing the boundaries, looks an interesting concept https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-gear/bike-gear/ku-cycle-launches-innovative-new-triathlon-bike Technically, it looks like a very well thought out design. Aestetically though, I'm not sold... the side-on view doesn't sit right with me. But as they say, form follows function. And if this is markedly faster, then it will sell like hotcakes and other brands will need to follow suit. On GCN they mentioned that frame design rules may be relaxed by the UCI come 2021, allowing for more Aero cross sections. Lets see.
shaper Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Pretty cool, and it breaks down better because of that new fork/steerer, fits into a travel box almost the length of a wheel. detail of travel box breakdown, so pretty cool https://www.ku-cycle.com/ Vetplant and EddieV 2
Chris_ Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I saw a Factor TT bike today on the back of a bakkie. I've never seen one, nor even thought about them (outside of pro tours on TV... ) Its called the 'Slick', which is pretty apt when you see it. Very nice bike
Chris_ Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 It didn't have the spares box, but heres an idea of what it looks like Riaan H, gummibear and Geared 3

I wont be buying one however. shaper 1

Very cool, I may look that one up. shaper 1
Chris_ Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Like. A. Boss. 16:46 Riaan H, EddieV and gummibear 3
IceCreamMan Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 He did brilliantly. I was following his progress. My first IM was 16:22 to put times in perspective. This man is an Ironman. EddieV, shaper and Chris_ 3
Chris_ Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Normal shoes, flat standard pedals. Chilled commuter looking bike! Crushes an 8 hour bike leg. I just can't. gummibear, EddieV and Riaan H 3
Chris_ Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Have to mention Dan Grieb, the guide. Is there anything more rewarding than being a guide in these races, or any race. What an incredible man. EddieV 1

I do like the new Canyon Tri range. Riaan H and Vetplant 2
