I'm very torn. Is it a beauty, is it an ulcer. Some of them look hopelessly rancid, but I'd be all over this all white test mule!

I think it's gick. The Caad12 you posted imo is way nicer.

But with you on the colour thing, some of them are awful

^^^ where was that photo taken? He won on Sunday in Italy, but was wearing no. 2.
Great photo btw. I'm not sure it's beautiful or indeed meant to be.

Edit:
Is it from the short course race on Friday.He was No. 1 in that race.

That was at Albstadt in May https://cyclingtips.com/2019/08/the-weekly-spin-is-mathieu-van-der-poels-race-schedule-a-recipe-for-burnout/ He was phenomenal again in Val di Sole at the weekend.

I think there's a difference between beautiful and beauty. Certainly I think capturing elite athletes in full flight, taking themselves to that very dark place, can be a thing of beauty. They're operating at a level that can make it look all too easy sometimes.

Good point, well made.

Kudos is needed to my local Lbs who did the hard work in fitting the battery internally and routing the cables inside in a very limited space.

Thats it.
And for the benefit of my wife ,if she ever reads this, I paid no where near the amount he was asking for it .
Not even a fraction of the asking as he was desperate to sell it.
Deffo a steal.
