Some dam!!! What do they call it? The Coral Sea? Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.

It is 8.4kg as you see it there, which according to my dodgy luggage scales is not significantly different to when it had cable discs, not sure what a standard set of callipers weighs.

The total luggage load was a heavy haul. At the maximum load of 65 kgs, for about 7-8 days between resupply and up to 3 days between water points, I could not actually lift my rear wheel off the ground (without doing a serious back injury). 25kgs of all my camping gear, 23L of water = 23 kgs, and then food for up to 8 days = ~15 kgs.
that sir.. i got no smart ass words to describe but hardcore, imagine the watts your legs would be outputting :S

Whereas all I can think of is the hours of fun you will have keeping it all clean  I was going to buy a fast, stylish bike, but I looked in the mirror & thought " you're not fooling anyone, you know"

It's actually very easy cleaning a white bike.... damp cloth and wipe down. Done in three minutes. I probably spend more time cleaning the wheels (sidewalls, rims, hubs and spokes).

Red hoods, red tape. White tape is balls for greying up within two rides.

Spot on! I gotta admit to a little "personal growth" when I saw that. SC make some dead sexy machines  ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Mine has had a slight change, now with a noir saddle. Not as flash as some of the rides in here.
