Look Closely

So, I found a great side shot of Dan riding his time trial bike. I posted pictures of his TT bike a week or two ago to show how much drop he has. This is a great picture of a very strong time trial rider mid-flight.....oh, but look closely.

Reading glasses and brown argyle socks? Dan was punished by the cycling fashion gods half-way through this time trial in the form of a flat tire.

On a technical note - Dan's been using the ISM Adamo saddle for the better part of this past year on his TT bike and it really seems like a good product. There is a rule as to how far forward your saddle can be (5cm behind your bottom bracket) and many riders have their hip angle closed off by sitting to far back on their TT bike (which reduces power). This saddle seems like a really good option because you can sit really far forward on it and won't need to worry about the 5cm rule. Dan even got CCB masters rider Dimitri Buben to switch over to the saddle. Dimitri is a former Masters World TT podium finisher.
