New Team Saddles in White

These have just arrived and I am super excited, as they are the exceptionally rare Prologo Scratch TR
The Scratch TR is a proper Team Replica saddle, speced to the pros requirements and then offered to us lesser mortals !
The TR is based on the Original Scratch (like the black version we have in Team colours) but with the base of the TR is stiffer and the rails are set up slightly different.
These are the saddles all the pros use (as you can see from the assorted photos below)
I have to thank Prologo once again for thinking we were worthy of all the efforts that were made to get our own version of these wonderful saddles

Michael's TT bike

This is the bike that will take Michael to glory at the Cologne Ironman distance event this September !

Its a ML Parlee TT bike with the higher HT option, full Dura Ace 7900 but with the Zipp R2C carbon shifters, the new 3T brezza Aerobars and some cracking Zipp 606 Tubs

Michale came in for his final fitting this morning and was really pleased, as we are with the outcome

Lisa's XS Parlee Z5

This is a bike we have been waiting a long time for
It is the brand new XS size that Parlee are now offering on the Z5
At last Lisa will have a frame that is the right size and not have to compromise on cockpit choice and all that entails

We are waiting on the last bits of 3T kit (with the red stripe) to match the look !
But its almost there, with Record build and Eurus wheels
The frame on its own was the lightest we have ever seen and comfortably under 800 gms
All in all a climbing dream !

Justin's Kent Eriksen

Justin already has a lovely Parlee Z4 but had a titanium itch he had to scratch
The brief was simple, design a light bike that would climb well, descend beautifully and provide the all day ride comfort that Titanium is renowned for. Easy !
Kent used a whole variety of ubing for the frame - the chainstays are his newest offerings - massive 1" stays for great "snap" but he also used a lighter tubing tubing in the top tube to give a bit more compliancy and reduce weight
The joys of custom !



Finishing kit is Edge carbon fork, Easton bars, Super Record, Fulcrum Zeros



I love the finish Kent offers - its called "Ti on Ti" and is a mixture of blasted and polished Titanium. It looks wonderfully classy !

Gerard's Z4

This is a ML Z4 in the matte finish option
Gerard was thrilled with how subtle and 'stealth' it looks
The gruppo is a mixture of Chorus and Record and we have gone for the classic Eurus wheels

Brett's TT bike

Brett won his Age Group at UK 70.3 on this bike. Now he has just picked up his Zipp 808s it is even faster. We are both doing the Copenhagen Ironman distance event on Aug 15th, and I am scared how much time he will put into me !

Ashley's Z1

A busy day with 4 cracking builds !
First up is this Z1 for Ashley who flew in from Hong Kong this morning to pick up the bike
Its a 56 Z1 with the wax finish
Finishing kit is not bad either, 3T LTD cockpit, Super Record and Lightweight Ventouxs
Ashley is off for 2 weeks riding in Spain and on his return we will make the final tweaks and adjustments to this wonderful bike
