Lee’s team issue road bike

This year the English Cycles race team doubled in size – in that Lee Ordonez joined me to give us a two-man team. Lee ended up focusing on mountain bike racing for most of the season, but he did join me on the podium with a win at the Oregon team time trial championships, and a fine third place at the individual TT state champs. I wasn’t able to get his bike built for the start of the season – the process wasn’t helped by his old bike being stolen before we could take measurements from it! But we got everything sorted out, and I was able to build his frame, which is set up with Ultegra Di2. Team blue, of course, and with the tubeless wheels shown it weighs in at 15.5lbs.
