Finished up our season down here in NZ with our club AGM and prizegiving.

Here's what happens when you get a bike that fits properly...

It was given with the comment that I was the only one considered for the award as I'd had such a massive improvement.

I have to say I was very nervous when I ordered the bike - because I was taking a bit of a leap of faith.  I remember telling someone from my cycling club about it after I ordered it and he was very sceptical - especially about the long cranks (and this is someone who's been around bike racing for many years).   So I had a big smile on my face the other day when he questioned whether the long cranks were legal - because he reckons it's given me an unfair advantage.   I told him it's not unfair - it's just a bike that finally lets me use the mechanical advantage that a taller rider has.

I then rode off into the distance :)

So thanks Lennard and Nick for putting together such an awesome machine.

Bigger things are to come! (I'm going to try blogging about my upcoming year http://everydaytallstories.wordpress.com/)

Cheers

Adrian.
