OK, so here’s the story:
Last season I spent about 2359 km on my bike, bikeriding with the wonderful geeks of wheelz.biz. That distance was laid down on a Hardrocx Cross Machine 2005 bike (please notice the fine "Jan Ullrich"-style grin). It’s not a bad bike, but keeping up with machines like Magnus’ Bianchi 928 Carbon Ultegra Mix 10, not to mention Asbjørn’s Giant TCR Composite can be a real PITA. My new bike ain’t much of a contender to the Bianchi or the Giant, but it’s a start, a good one. It’s a Merida 07 Road Racing, complete with Shimano Ultegra 20 gearing, Tiagra 105 brakes and Merida RHS Single Carbon frame and Carbon Lite fork.
