My bikes


The bike that I used during the 2009 nationals, a second-hand Benotto. I suspect a "Modelo 2700".

It's not hard to qualify as a representative for Taichung city... but to get anywhere near the podium is another thing. I failed the Keirin qualifying round (3rd from last) and only did 1'16 something in the kilo. (PB for kilo is 1'15"021.) Winning time is like 1'03.

Those bars were not the same I used in last year's race by the way. But all else pretty much the same, save for those training wheels.




The cranks were Sugino... not sure of the model name, but they were of 110BCD and originally came with 3/32" 44T single speed chain ring. That one in the photo was an FSA road model (50T).




New setup for my aero bars. I used a similar stem (actually sharing one same part) and a MAVIC bull horn last year. But this setup allows me to go just a little bit lower, and the base bar also provides a wider clamping section.




Originally a mountain bike riser stem... two of the similar products merged into one, actually. These new "ahead" parts allow a few degrees more rotation downwards, getting lower and more towards the rear. Stiff as hell, this chunk of metal...

And as you can see the clip-on's are naturally set wide apart due to this special stem; so wide in fact, they're at the widest the base bar can take! The elbow pads were then set rather well but that was simply an accident.




Another view. As can be seen here my base bar was nearly touching the head tube. One trouble you'll encounter when you set up a mass start bike for time trial. In my opinion.




And last... my current road bike.

Since there won't be any racing in quite a while, I've chosen a steel frame and didn't bother with integrated shifters. :)
