So, how tough do you think those $12k Tour de France bikes are? Well, check it out, and the riding is just phenomenal! For a dude in lycra and shaved legs.

OMG!!! Fantastic. I once went OTB on simple railroad tracks. This guys level of handling is unfathomable to me.

 

[Chevrolado]

Wow. That is insanely good control. Nice.

 

[mervifwdc]

Wow!

And just to say this again, not to make too fine a point about it....... he did it all while in the drops!!

Since I'm not very bicycle tech savvy, is this referring to the rear wheel/axle being in a downward facing dropout, the handlebars being drop bars, or the bottom bracket position (fairly certain it's not that, but I don't know).

its the handlebars being drop bars and his hands had to be in the low position all the time for the brakes.

awesome vid, and until i watched the second one i wandering how many times they had to true the wheels, i guess none.

Parts of that make my palms sweat. Literally.:Wow1:

thanks for the clarification!

.

And since he's in the most stretched out position possible, it makes weight distribution for balance, that much more difficult.
