You are definately completely the wrong shape for cycling, I suggest you take up Lawn bowls.

cool free power!

ok i lowered it a bit a to complicate matters I just stuck an adamo saddle on as someone lent me one to try (but lowered it a bit more as the adamo is higher)

i have also had a hair cut though not sure if it is very aero, maybe if i gel it to a point?

Looks good Andy,  I think if you grow your hair longer and then gel it into the shape of an aero hat, you could probably get it certified and so you don't need to use a normal hat?!  Maybe!

Cheers Drags - I am not 100% on the pool thing I think 10days is right but think its more about infection than the chlorine doing anything to the tattoo - either ways if you greased it up good and proper with some vasaline i reckon you would be ok, you could even do that and strap some gauze and waterproof stuff over the top! So basically no excuses!

I think your idea is tops Stephen!!!! In my formative years this may have been possible when I had golden locks - maybe try and convince one of the girls or Sam? I am sure with enough Brill cream, Gel and Hairspray it would do the trick and be aero for running too, though a cross wind may rip your head off!

hi
the new saddle throws a bit of a spanner into the works
as they are a total different set up .
i love the saddle for chicks , so i suppose some guys will be good for as well .
some one let him know how many cm the set up is different .
more power still hidden , as i would get used to the 1cm down , then go 1 moore
then you will be working an all pistons .

sorry doc i am indeed a pain

i didn't think it was complex enough so thought best to ruin it with a different saddle, i will ride this weekend on this position and then try lowering it a little more as you say (or ride half way, then lower it a bit?) i think i measured the difference and adjusted accordingly - but probably not haha!

thought the adamo may help the position, but we will see!

cheers again
