This is Harold and his old Axiom SL. We built him a new one (see below) recently, and he sent us these photos and a kind note a few weeks ago.
He writes:
I’ve been tweaking my position on my new frame using the trainer but I hadn’t been outside with it until last night’s group ride.
According to one of the regulars ‘Harold you were really strong last night’, my response was ‘I felt good and the bike feels great’. I still have some more tweaking to get done but the bike feels wonderful. I’m not sure what it is about those traditional frame design compared with the compact design but traditional just works so much better for me.
At a tad over 16 pounds race weight I’m very happy. I’m looking forward to getting in some good miles this weekend thanks to warmer temperatures after doing 63 miles last night. First outside ride report is WONDERFUL!
