My Quintana Roo Seduza initially came with a set of Tektro brakes which were frankly rubbish. I bought these to replace them.
They certainly look great and feel really strong, and the build is absolutely faultless. Review.

I left home at 7:50am, hoping to be in Hammersmith for 9am.
But that was without thinking that yet again, buses (specifically the R68) come whent they want (in this case I waited 30min in the pouring rain), and that because of the rain, absolutely EVERYONE-NEEDED-THEIR-F***-CARS.
So from Teddington, to Richmond tube station, which is less than 5km distance by car, took me 1h10min. Add to this waiting for the tube to go and I was in Hammersmith at 9:35, which makes this journey another record 1h45min for something I’d do in 35min on a bike.
Anymore excuses NOT to cycle??

Some shots from California.
First time in the US, and kind of impressed =) I think being in California helps though, as the state of the roads here is absolutely fantastic! Done 90K today and there was probably 2 potholes and 80Km of cycle lane (YES! you read well!!)
California
The goal was under 5h. The result 4h55'21". Job done! But by no means this has been an easy race, as I can call this one my toughest race yet!

This is it!! On our way to California! Realising a childhood dream to fly what was originally designed as a full length twin-deck super jumbo!
Yup! That’s right, I’ve been found guilty of “cycling on the footway”…
Ok oficer, you got me. Jikes! I’m guilty as charged. yes, I was cycling on the small part at the top, south side, of the Teddigton lock footbridge at 7:20pm with absolutely no one in sight, and ready, like every day, to jump of my bike and walk. (I always walk when there are people coming)
