@Dmart I'm so happy for my Speedmax, hope you will feel the same. When going hard on the flats I don't feel the speed - I am speed!

[Dmart]

@XPender yeah. Currently sitting on the turbo, race pace 🥵

[Nik]

Whoa well done @Dmart bike is going to be so much fun. How does it feel so far? Looking forward to feedback.

[Dmart]

@Nik I have only been on the turbo for now. It’s certainly different than a road bike with extensions. You sit closer to the bottom bracket. I really love the in bike storage for gels, maintenance and hydration. It’s very well thought through.

@Dmart Fellow Triathlete?

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 I try to be one my swim doesn’t look like it yet…

[Spencer35]

@Dmart nice, well you certainly have the bike for it. I started very slow as a swimmer too. Now it is certainly my best discipline of the three (granted still not fast), it comes with repetition and lots of practice

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 it’s a very technical sport compared to cycling and running. I’m daily in the water and it gets better, slowly but steady.

[Dmart]

Only recently started with triathlon. Only been running before. Have my first sprint in April and a 70.3 in June.

[Spencer35]

@Dmart 100% true on the technicality of swim. Though swim is VERY different from Golf, they have similarities in that they seem relatively simple and straight forward, yet are very technical and technique driven sports.

Congrats on your upcoming races! What 70.3 are you doing? If you ever have any triathlon or training related questions, please feel free to reach out. I've been in the sport for over 10yrs, with 8 Full Ironman finishes (God willing 9 after this summer), 20+ 70.3 finishes and multiple shorter distances as well.

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 wow that’s an accomplishment!
Really appreciate the help!
I’m doing 70.3 Switzerland, hilly bike and rolling run.

[Spencer35]

@Dmart Should be gorgeous, enjoy and good luck!

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 thanks!

The beauty of lugged steel frames ... .

I rode my first triathlon in a vintage red Alan lugged aluminium frame with Campagnolo Delta breaks - the bike was many years older than me. The breaks were absolut shit at doing their job but one couldn't be made due to their salient beauty.

It weighs a ton but I love rolling around on this cruiser.

I am a road cyclist for years, but built myself a gravel bike for all year around fun

I really don’t know why I don’t have a picture of my roadbike with the new one piece cockpit.

@JCMx800 Beautiful! It doesn't get much better than steal <3! I've heard Standert is really hip right now. I love their "purple reign" colour.
