It seems everyone is taking pictures of their bikes to show their mates nowadays. So I thought I’d get my camera and a whiteish wall and jump safely onto the bandwagon.

I am a first year junior riding for Solihull CC. I would like to thank my sponsors Polar Electro (www.polar.fi) and Mike Vaughan Cycles (www.mikevaughancycles.co.uk) for helping me out this year. My bike is a Merlin Titanium TR3/2.5. I use it as my training bike from March to whenever the weather starts to get crap. It is equipped with full Ultegra 10 speed, Easton finishing kit and Real Design wheels.(Wot, no Bontragers? Ed.) I’ll probably put my Polar power meter on the bike in the next few weeks.

I use Dura Ace SPD-SL pedals too, but don’t feel like going to clean my bike again to take more pictures!
