NVWOCI WVS Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Pants, go for a lo-pro, steel TT frame and stick a NOS campag record groupset on it Or a lo-pro track bike... but the geo is horrible for anything but track riding then, and you're limited to short cranks and 120mm spacing probably.

Robwalker Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ive got this customer who wants to ride over the pirrines (sp), towing a trailer. He's insistent that everything has to be superlightweight and has therefore decided to go for a full carbon road bike.... I need some good examples of a steel or maybe even an alu bike thats as light as possible but going to take a shitload of abuse and beable to take 25kg in a trailer without ripping the back end off. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always try and cover a beer from every continent over the course of the race? 'Cause even if you don't finish, but still beat pants, you can still say you've had a beer from every continent as well as beating him!

Alan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Too many people in the way to race properly.Could do it for charity anyway?I'm sure for a 100 mile bike race you could get a fair few sponsers, so you get to beat pants and do your bit for the community?
