Rach E Oct 2009 9:32am, 7 Oct 2009 4,355 posts	Rach E I'm tempted by the S-type bars for next year...! Tri bars probably not allowed Pilotlight as it's held under British Cycling rules (unbelievably!) so no tri-bars allowed as it's a bicycle race rather than a TT.

Zip tying all the wires to the frame and bars will be next and then personalising all the upper half into a lycra bespoke suit. i'm stopping now or people will be getting ideas-but maybe Rapha could run something up

SarahL Oct 2009 11:39am, 14 Oct 2009 9,652 posts	SarahL I got mine from the dreaded Evans and they offered a free service. I overtook a road bike yesterday. That felt good.

SarahL Oct 2009 11:42am, 14 Oct 2009 9,654 posts	SarahL Yup - I'm in the same camp as you - I don't bother timing my commute on the brommie. I know the days when it feels good easy and fast. Then there are other days when I feel heavy, sluggish and get overtaken!!! Was it an all Brommie Peleton?!
