AENDE road bike in purple!

Hi everyone..
I had my much loved Aende road /time trial bike stolen about 10 years ago..
I have recently created a page on Flickr, as a tribute to Pongo Brathwaite, and my old bike has appeared in picture form on there..
I'm delighted to see it, but obviously I would love to have it back..
The person who contributed the photo to Flickr may well be an active member on these forums ( I am in NO way suggesting he stole the bike!!)
and I was hoping he may be able to help me get it back?

Hoping member speedsixdave will see this, or that someone can alert him that I would love to talk to him

thanks for reading

Re: Cycling and wind ....

speedsixdave wrote:It gives me wind too! You are not alone! I asked that very same question on here a few years ago and was met with an agonising silence.

Having said that I have no good advice, and no solution. It doesn't get me every time, and only ( I think) on the road bike, on which I am more bent over and stretched out. I expect the crunching up of the guts is partly to blame.

Thinking about it now, it's not been so bad recently. I've had a bad back which has resulted - in cycling terms - in raising the bars and shortening the reach on all my bikes. Mebbe this has resulted in less wind? I have no proper evidence.

Would you be prepared to lose that low aero position for the sake of your belly? DO you ride drops?

Best of luck with it!




Sorry to hi-jack this post, but I'm hoping to contact speedsixdave rather urgently.. Dave (?) if you read this could you check out the Aende page I created on Flickr? or email me directly at yldmanmrk@yahoo.com ? thanks
