Nice Bernie,

I have a 12 month old full carbon TCR Euro and do triathlons (up to olympic distance). I replaced all the Campag gear and run full integra setup. I looovvve my new bike. You're right about carbon. My previous ride was a chrome alloy TCR 2 - getting on the new one is like somone removed 20lbs of lead wieghts - and it's stiff as - I;'m a biggish bloke and I use to stress the frame of my old beast - with this one my biggest problem is getting the power to the ground.

Good to see another lunatic getting out there amongst the traffic. Riding around Sydney is "entertaining" to say the least, but excellent fun.

I've not done any Crit's, but a Canadian mate of mine (sometimes rides in Brisbane with a morning) gorup, has been trying to talk me into it.

Bring on the Tour ! At last something to watch other than "netball with no arms".

cheers

Pete
