The only things in the Cannondale's favour are:-
- it's in my LBS.
&

I have rather foolishly signed up for l'etape again.
Anyone else?

I've just had my dream holiday pulled out from underneath me.
Reliving my yoof by taking the kids to the Isles of Scilly.
Next on the list is the Roubaix Sportive - 'Sorry kids no holiday for you but you understand, don't you'.

Typical, finally feeling well up for the Friday night club ride, pretty much perfect weather... and no one turns up 
Too much of scaredy cat to set off on 30 miles of pitch black country roads on my own, and didn't fancy riding lit main roads in town. Oh well, there's always another day I suppose.

That's a bummer. Dunno if I'd be able to go back home though.
What did you ride today SB?
My still creaking Bianchi after it had a new bottom bracket fitted.
Not only that but the headset and gears have been done recently too, the bike is so smooth to ride, but creaking like an old man (insert line here).
Pedaling out of the saddle is almost deafening, but it purrs when freewheeling
My LBS man called Cube about the Attain "ideal for the long winters in the UK", and was told late January early February.
I've got some thinking to do.
I can't believe I haven't asked early:-
IS ANYONE RIDING TOMORROW?
I'm going to be out but am at a bit of a loose end.

With the Cube disappearing off the radar as it'll be Summer before I get that winter 'hack', I've found one more to add:-

Whilst the crankset isn't as good, i'd go with that other the other two just because it has hydraulic brakes. A couple of people I've spoken to said they've had problems with mechanical discs and the don't wear evenly and end up rubbing.
It's easy to change the crakset later.

Strava flagging question...
If a ride has been flagged does that flagging mean everyone else on the same ride gets a flag too?
I ask because I've just had another old ride flagged - the link between all being I did the ride with armchairclubber. Looks like the sad case that flags armchairclubber consistently is going back over old rides and flagging them up too. Surely Strava can see a pattern going on and deal with out of control flaggers

That was so weird the last time that was happening.Strava flagging question...

I'm pretty sure I'd have complained to Strava by now, the fella in question needs some time away from their site.
The decision has been made and this morning I ordered the Focus.
Hydraulic disc brakes, 'guard eyelets, predominately 105 groupset, and pretty sweet paint job and some big recommendations for the full carbon version.
A la [MENTION=10856]1066familyman[/MENTION] yesterday I was pretty tentative on some leaf strewn damp descents and can't wait to get some good brakes to go with winter tyres.
The downside being yet another wait this time through to late December, although apparently Focus are considerably more reliable than Cube at this sort of thing.
