Greg May is going well again. Left Cuba. Great to see.

Excellent! Must have got his problems sorted.

Greg May apparently out after a mechanical.

I think being denied the record previously due to fire-induced route changes may be motivation enough?

I don't think so, from the pic the hoods look like SRAM hydraulics, I know the guys set the levers up on the Rohloff so one side upshifts & the other downshifts, I'll see them this week so will see what, if anything I can confirm.

Are you in Louth, then? The bike shop said they'd put more details up on their FB thread.

We were down that way a couple of weeks ago for a wedding; if I'd known they had the speed record bike in...

Hope brakes with a kit specially made by Hope for the job.

Isn't it just one of these?

Troy looks like a certain TT racer 

Wrong bike - GM is on a yellow, Rohloff'd Fargo; Troy's looks to be an orange El Mar (like mine).

[isn't]

could TS be taking alternate routes to avoid common tracking/photo op spots as to not blow his pseudonym?

I thought the consensus was that TS isn't Guy Martin?

Dylan Gonda has the first full suspension bike I've seen this year...I wonder how he likes it.

There was a chap a while back running a Tallboy with Lauf.

Another one I like to use for lightning strikes in real-time for when the monsoon kicks up in a bit.

Blitzortung.org also good for that.

Thanks! It seems that it doesn't have a lockout. How is it riding uphill?

Can't be that bad. I don't bother locking out a 100mm Reba.

It's a Lauf. There seem to be a few riders using them this year, Josh Kato had one.

The random one is the bloke who's got a Lauf (travel 60mm) on the front of a Tallboy (a lot more than 60mm travel).

Did he have luxuriant sideburns?

Pardon my ignorance but who  is Guy Martin?
