They are all starting to go that way. Ours has one, but the 2015 version doesn't.

Does look to make water bottles even more of a pain in the arse for tandems!

But, yes, they do look ace without them. And the things tandem looks super ace and Orange as well.

"Lateral" to be accurate. Once upon a time only cheap tandems didn't have them.

Oh noes. Fixable before the event though?

Bloody hope so.

Nice one zigzag! I like the Gold chain - Vino would be proud!

2011

2015

I consider it to be the same setup, but when my new seatpost gets fitted tonight the only things still there from 2011 are the frame, forks, headset and Cateye Omni3

Now where am I going to fit my frame number?

DCLane · « **Reply #62 on:** 13 August, 2015, 12:27:00 pm »

About time I did this:

The bike's a 2012 Ridgeback Platinum frame/forks with Ultegra 6700 shifters and Dura-Ace 7800 crankset/derailleurs. I built it in May for my 400 and 600.

It's on ITM Aero 3.0 wheels with GP4000s II tyres and has an Altura seatpost pack on the Fizik R3 seatpost. I'm bringing an additional Hope 1 light if I can get it working properly.

Hopefully the mudguards can be removed. I'll make that call on the Sunday morning.

I'd be interested to learn who is riding the cheapest bike. Would it be a Ribble or a Triban?

Drew is on a bike that was free.

It did probably cost a lot in 193-whatever though.

Mine? Frame/forks were £50 from CycleChat plus other people's cast-offs.

For some PBP folk, their bike is in a different country to them. Several options have been explored but DNSing PBP is not on the cards. Midday tomorrow is decision time.

A missing bike arrived a little after midnight and is currently being assembled by a happy owner.

I'm very glad to hear it! Have a marvellous PBP. I'll be watching your progress with interest.

Apart from having a spiffing bike that looks too big for me to ride,

, nothing!

Relax and enjoy but keep on pedalling!

Good luck everyone! See you on the turn around
