Frankie is the new bike reviewer at ProCycling - he takes over from Chris Boardman who has just launched his own line of bikes.

If his first review is indicative, he'll be like every other ex-pro - lots of cliches and not much meat. The bike "accelerates like a rocket when you stomp on the pedals" OR "it's stiff yet compliant" etc.

I hope Boardman is only doing monocoques, since he said they were better than tubes and lugs.

It appears all his bikes are aluminum...

I'm totally psyched! I love bikes that accelerate like rockets and are stiff and compliant. Now if only he can find one that handles like it's on rails.

Wow! That's how my wife describes me, but I am only good for short bursts and she gets irked when I start downing gel packets half way through.
