Street Trials Riding on a Pinarello Dogma 2

Post by Rolf »

Here's the latest Danny MacAskill-style street trials video, but on board the (strong!) frame that helped win the 2012 Tour. This guy's got fantastic control.

Shame about the sexed-up, female "accessories" doing the pit stop at the end. But we can't expect YouTube heroes to be simultaneously awesome on a bike and aware of deleterious gender portrayal, can we?

And on top of the jarring portrayal of the "support team" at the end is their cleaner of choice: WD40? Am I missing something here? An all-purpose cleaner for carbon frames? Am I the only one, uh, paying attention to these details?

WD40 has recently released a line of bike products - degreaser, foaming wash, dry lube, wet lube, frame protector, etc. and are promoting them quite heavily right now. They are trying to break their image of a single product company. We'll see if it works.

True, but I'm also thinking that he'd be insufferable on a group ride. :P
