Nearly November and the way time flies by as we get older is kind of scary. I just looked for some photos from 2017 to get some before and after shots of my evo2max bike. I got this bike new in 2017 and have just had the cockpit (bike lingo for handlebars etc) changed following the discovery of a potential crack in the carbon. I got a couple of pics from a blog post in 2017. I also read some posts from 2017 relating to my focus on conditioning and how important it is for us older folks. Here I am in 2022 advocating the same thing - but 5 years older! I was using the local gym back then and actually doing ok for compound exercises like cleans, squats and deadlifts. Recently I’ve been in my garage using kettlebells and sand bags. I’m fact I’ve completed a decent 2 months of conditioning and have felt like getting back to the Olympic bars by joint the local gym. More on this in the next few weeks I think.
So what if the evo2max cockpit change? Here’s the before from 2017. Not great pics but all I could find.
I really like this bike as my aero specific ride. Yes, I am extremely fortunate to have a TT bike and another road bike; both SRAM AXS mega bikes. If my plan to race some draft legal Duathlons in 2023 happens, it will be the evo2max used as the race option. So here is the afyer cockpit version.
The original bars were integrated stem version and 42cm wide. The new ones are 38cm with separate stem. I really like this set up. It’s compact and definitely more aero. Report on how it rides soon!
