A new bike icon is born (come over and test it)

I don’t call it ‘my bike’ my wheels’ or ‘the Plasma’. To me, it’s ‘The Scott Bike’.  Actually, it was my girlfriend Florentina who pointed out that a bike looking this great and riding so impressively should become an iconup there with other great mobile legends as ‘The Bat Mobile’, ‘The Kight Rider’ and the  DeLorean…) Yesterday I took The Scott Bike out in very, very hot en very windy conditions for a 4+ hour ride in the ‘Flemish Ardennes’. It just keeps amazing me how the Plasma handles in windy conditions and on descents. The thing that stands out the most, is that side winds don’t seem to get any grip on it at all. It really is the first time that I’m riding a bike this steady. I’ve ridden great bikes by Cannondale, Quintana Roo, Giant and even a brand that has been claiming  (but never was able to back up that claim) to have built the ‘fastest bike in the world’. But none of these great bikes matched or even came close to the comfort, manoeuvrability, and handling ease of ‘The Scott Bike’.  It really rides like it’s rolling on rails, even with a full disc wheel. I’m not telling you stories. Actually, I’m taking on bets: I’m predicting that this bike is going to get me a 4:35 bike split by October. The only thing that I need to solve now is the mystery of the exploding tyres. I’m blowing between 1 and 3 clincher tyres per week. Suggestions, anyone? By the way, if you want to test ride The Scott Bike and you live around my neighbourhood (Ghent) ànd you ride a bike size L or XL, just drop me a line and come over.
