Looky here! To mark the brand new Tour Ride Cycle Show Sportive – the last event of the 2012 Tour Ride series, which takes place at the end of this month, road.cc has teamed up with The Cycle Show and Trek to offer you the chance to win a Trek Domane 4.3 road bike, worth £1,800!
If you've been living under a rock for the last year you might have missed all the news about the new Trek Domane platform, which was developed with the help of Radioshack-Nissan-Trek's Fabian Cancellara. The bike uses a functional decoupler to isolate the seat tube from the top tube and seatstays, allowing Trek to tune the whole seat tube to give much better compliance. It's clever stuff.
The Domane 4.3 uses Trek's 400 series Domane frame, and you get a Shimano 105 drivetrain and Bontrager finishing kit and wheels. It's a super road bike that would normally set you back £1,800, but one lucky road.cc reader is going to get one for free, thanks to The Tour Ride and The Cycle Show.
If The Tour of Britain has got you itching to get out on the open roads, the Tour Ride Cycle Show Sportive could be just the ticket.
The sportive will start and finish at The NEC as part of the Cycle Show in Birmingham (28-30 September). Sign up and you’ll have a rare opportunity to ride alongside some of the UK’s top road cycling teams, with Team Raleigh - GAC, Rapha Condor, Node4. Cycles Premier and Team UK Youth amongst some of the pro riders confirmed to participate.
