The Whisper has a very nice retention system and i feel offers a great looking lid and with all those 39 holes to stick stuff in offers hours of off the bike entertainment. The only downside i can find is at 61cm for the large it will not fit me and after trying them of various passers by would seem that you need to have a catlike head to get in one properly so to all you who have and fit them i envy you. Various colour ways and models dropping to us over the coming months which is lucky as i saw sunshine and everything today so it's like riding weather isn't it. Whilst arranging delivery of said helmets the courier did ask me my street name to which i had to point out that being middle aged and staying in a lot im not cool enough to have a street name so just stick to Dave but apparently that's not what they meant ho hum.
Now the photo collective below will show a little number that popped in to us today thanks to one of our very oldest customers. The Factor001 , cutting edge, formula 1 tech, futuristic bla bla etc etc cut away all the silly hype and you have one very pretty extremely stiff fantastic bicycle.
Now i will not dribble on with the tech side of this bike as the website for it is great and all info is their ready for you needing a tech fix. but ill skim briefly over the beast, one of the stiffest bikes i have ever ridden bar none in every way, i can usually get a good bit of flex on with most kit due to my chocolate powered motor but this wouldn't budge, bars wheels forks nout which although great took a while to compute. Di2 with lots of carbon jiggery going on like the custom hoods that encompass a hydraulic brake master cylinder on top of them.
Custom carbon battery cover to look funky, the crank measure torque for each leg, speed and cadence etc which is all viewable via the integrated enterprise bridge esq dashboard.
Ok so the pics upside down but for £23K yours will be the right way up trust me. Rolling on spangly carbon wheels and disc brakes corners and stoppies are superb fun and strangely it's a real head turner.
Now this is a 56cm and a touch small for me and as i only got a tiny ride in i could not say anything bad about it, people always love to find fault with this kind of thing and maybe it has some maybe it doesn't but riding a £23k bike round was quite a nice experience and shows where the future of cycling is going but on a personel note a bicycle or 2 weeks surfing and bmxing down Newquay way with a new team van and a hefty deposit to my savings account i think i know what id be doing for the moment.
Yall come back now ya hear me.
