Just had a browse through eBay looking at the used bikes/frames for the first time in ages; people seem to be very optimistic on the value of their high-end TT/Tri bikes & frames. I can understand the premium on road bikes and MTBs, but with almost no events last year and it looking sketchy this year, I can’t help thinking demand will be low in this particular area of the bike market this year to come too.

Not been convinced by these since I first saw them and certainly won’t be experimenting with my 100kg on this one, however fast they reckon it is.

Has anyone got a view on the GebioMized STRIDE TT/Triathlon Saddle? I see there are featured on Matt Bottrill’s site and I’m looking for a replacement for my Fizik Tritone saddle.
Been doing a bit of bike maintenance today
On the stand, my former winter commuter and now Zwift bike. £299 in Halfords sale a few years back. 8 speed Shimano Claris groupset (budget I guess but works fine), upgraded the wheels. For a cheap bike I really like the way it rides.
On the wall a tandem we are looking after for someone… Not been brave enough to actually ride it yet, but maybe when the weather improves 
(Definitely not claiming this is bike candy, just wanted to post a picture somewhere)

I’ve always liked the idea of a tandem, but it would never work for Mrs W and me - I’m 6ft 1 and she’s 4ft 10, so no chance of getting something that would fit us.
Mrs W is a very nervous descender, so even if we could find a bike that would fit, I reckon we’d do one decent descent and she’d want to stop and get off and walk home

I’ve got that bike stand - Lidl special isn’t it?
My wife and I once attempted to ride a tandem on holiday in Croatia about ten years ago. We made it about 5 metres - very quickly saw the light. We would have ended in a ditch or a massive fight!

There’s loads of adult and kids tandems around! Although dunno if your wife would like the description…

That 2 spoke wheel went for over £600 in the end. You could get a decent disc for that which, given it was a rear, would probably be a better option.
No-one on here bought it did they?
It is a lot of money but they’re just under £1400 on Wiggle.

I had a tandom for a while. Wife always thought we went too fast and hated it. Used to go bike camping with the kids on it (one at a time). Load it up, wooden block on the pedals and off we’d go. Disc brakes are a good idea, even had V brakes on it also for the rear rider. Full front and rear racks, the works. Great times.

I’ve got a Ribble Reynolds 725 bike which is amazing (the Mavic Krysium Pro’s elevate it, certainly)
Now I’ve tried steel, I’m itching to try titanium

First serious road bike I ever had was a Graham Weigh made from Reynolds 653.
Next I went to an Aluminum Giant OCR, massive upgrade, I never looked back.
Every Steel bike I have tried since, both road and mountain i have been completely disappointed with, especially the mountain frames.
Agree on the titanium thing though, been looking at the PX and Sonder options recently.
