Your quite right....ride height was checked as these piccies where taken as the bike was received from the previous owner.

Good job I checked...i needed to raise the saddle by another 20 mm...I kid ye 'not!

Why use fractions of a horsepower when you can have a hundred odd horsepower doing all the work for you

Cos pedaling is free and it keeps ya slim and fit?

Yeah, nice bike if time-triallings your thing, but it would be even better in red and, more importantly, with proper Italian components, not that stuff from some wannabee Oriental company

I'd love one of those (and the turbo trainer)

I guess I need to work harder

Best of luck....If you're blessed with a nice flat-back aero position, that thing will fly....mate of mine returned to time-trialling a couple of years ago... Last year, at the age of 44 he did a 20:40. When we were racing in the late 70's / early 80's he struggled to get under 22 minutes (I was faster than him then...don't think I would be now!)

And, of course, between 20 and 30 mph, you'll be a sight more comfortable than you would be on a 748!
