Awsome new bike provided by my sponsor - Hilderthorpe Cycles




The new bike is here!!!! Its been very kindly provided by Paul and Lisa at Hilderthorpe Cycles www.hilderthorpecycles.co.uk my local bike shop and sponsor. I will now be riding the top of the range Giant TCR Carbon Advanced. Its super light weight carbon with the seat post built into the frame for strength and weight saving. Kitted out with a full Dura Ace 10 speed groupset and a light weight set of ksyrium sl's but as you can see in the pics its currently running on my Cosmic Carbons with the new sponsors web address graphics which were created earlier this week. I just need to get the tri bars off the Kuota and fit them and get a couple of bottle cages as I don't think the red ones off my other bike will suit it. I just hope I can do it the justice such a fine machine deserves.

Oooooooooooh, that is a SERIOUS bit of bike bling - uber light as well I expect. I assume you got the sizing issue sorted?

May need to change the pedals as well - the red just doesn't go.

You should paint it pink, it'd be sick!

Cool coloured bikes go faster too.

Wow! That is lovely. All gorgeous and new and shiny. Here's hoping the 2 of you share many, many successes together.

But would you date a girl called "Hilda Thorpe"? No, me neither.

Smokin Dude! Very nice machine! I am sure that you will do it justice. get the miles in prior to Holland though, as I bet you will be tweaking it continually until you get it just right!

A serious comment from me this time - where did you get the wheel graphics done?
