Velominati Rule #12

The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner

I had never heard of, Trigon. A quick Google search revealed that this Taiwan company have been making bike parts for over 20 years for most of the big Italian bike manufacturers and a couple of years ago they decided to branch out and make their own frames. Further investigation showed that their bikes are top quality but at a fraction of the cost of Italian names so i decided to go and have a look.


I went for a spin on it today, even I could not believe how easily it goes uphill. The 22 mile cat4 route with an elevation gain of 1375 feet was a perfect chance to see what the bike was capable of and I managed to lop a whacking 4m 7s off my best time

Was it the bike, or the new Conti 4000s, or possibly even me being fitter? 4 minutes is a lot to gain in 22 miles, especially as the usual fast slight downhill section had a headwind so I never made up my usual time gain there, it definitely climbs faster and I certainly didn't feel as fatigued as on previous times. I like this bike a lot...
