Tales from the (winter) Peloton
Snow business

"Unlike the other guys, we really ride in it in good ole South Carolina in the USA," says Cyclingnews reader Steve Verdell. To prove it Steve sent us these pics of his long-suffering Basso after it had been extensively modified by a ride in the deeply wintry weather much of the eastern US is currently enduring.

Steve's post-ride pics
- Beefier crank arms along with the disk rings make this a fast rig
- Eventually it wouldn't shift out of the big ring
- In response to your thought, no, they did not work very well
- My friends said I was a wuss for wearing shoe covers
- Radical new single speed freewheel
- Rolf's new aero design mutes the pinging heard in the old design
- The Basso looking battered
- Through it all the Michelins gave pretty good traction
