Some Pics of the Fleet, From slow to fast.......
Dawes Horizon. Great solid and reliable Sora equiped bike that saw me through my first 200km and from Dunkirk to Dubrovnik over 3 months
Condor Fratello. The most amazing, versatile bike, from Audax to long distance TTs to road racing. This bike has done it all with a certain degree of comfort. Only the frame remains now, with Sram Rival and a longer stem slammed down to be the same dimmensions as my race bike.
Harry Quinn 1970s fixed. Frame picked up from a garage sale mid way through a DIY 300!! I didn't take it then and there, but collected later. Use it for club TTs as I vowed not to get into the expensive world of buying a PB. This is my baseline bike and good enough for a 24.16 on a slow course... (I also couriered on it for a week with a 88 inch gear, whilst my langster [RIP] was out of order due to catastrophic crank failure.....

Added Planet-X 50mm tubular wheels just for racing which brings it just below 7kg and found this bike amazing. It feels like a rocket accelerating. I immediately noticed that my pacelining changed with me surging when coming to the front (not desirable!) as the whole bike was that much more responsive to input than the Fratello. I really had to focus on keeping cadence rather than measuring the amount of extra force needed...
