Sounds like an excuse for a new white carbon stem if you ask me  |

The one that looks the nicest. Seeing as how Hill is more concerned with how much his bike weighs than by how well it fits him, I'm guessing Team VR is all about style over substance and fashion over form.

It is, but given that Hill is unlikely to do well in anything other than a flat race, a preoccupation with weight amuses me. |

pink. However, be aware of the various shades of pink that are available. You could get deep pink, baby pink, pastel pink etc and they would all clash together if you went accessory mad with pink. Far better to have a few items the same shade of pink and the rest of the bike white. if you could match the shade of pink to the jersey even better.....
