Your elbow pads are at your wrists, and your heel at the 6 o'clock position is extended upwards so much it looks as if you're pedalling on the tips of your toes.

The frame is a bad fit.
but he's not a pro, only pros have the resouces to get a proper fit. We've been over this a few times. (sarcasm)

Get your elbows on the elbow pads - clue's in the name ;)

It'd be a lot improved at the front by angling the extensions up 15 odd degrees, possiby raising the bars a bit, and extending the reach of the bars/bringing the pads back towards the elbows.

Not even willing to hate, but there are a lot of watts left on the table. You'd benefit more riding a Road Bike with extensions, that gets you in a somewhat sensible position, than riding a high-end TT rig, that has you sit too high and no support for your elbows.

:D :lol: LOVE the color scheme - as long as you've got the watts to back it up.

Wish more bikes had interesting paint schemes.

Probably. It was owned/ridden by his teamate Chris Hall in the UK Nat 24hr among other things.

Thanks. I hope I do :shock: . There's certainly nowhere to hide. Agree with the paint schemes - it replaces a bright red specialized transition so it keeps the fleet nice and bright anyway.

The paint job on the thing looks pretty crazy, which is great. I have seen too many boring looking bikes. The cockpit looks pretty weird to me, super "upright" with the bars pointing up 45 degrees. Can we see a picture of you in position?
