    Mine arrived finally today, looks very similar to yours, in 'fact' a guy on a cycling forum who has both said he can't tell much difference...

    I’ve looked at a few including Enigma, Moots, Bingham Built and Wittson. Something I’ll revisit next year. Just need to get some miles back under my belt.

    Thought this thread was to be about the progress of GLP's arm, not his bike!

    It goes hand in hand. Getting back on a bike is a good measure of progress. I wasn’t convinced I would given the state of my arm 8 months ago.

    Ambidextrous comes in handy ( excuse the pun)
    In those situations…. I’m one of the lucky ones,
    Hold anything with either hand !!!! Lol…
    Snooker cue
    Cricket bat
    Pen/ pencil
    Golf clubs…. What I’d give to be better though…

    I don’t think ambidexterity, or what ever you may call it is an illness!

    They look amazing! Are they professional standard bikes (if such a thing exists?!)

    I’m sure they are ££££££’s in cost

    Not really professional standard. They’re decent enough mind. My problem is I cannot leave anything as standard <laugh> so both are very different to how they left the shop - courtesy of Zipp components.

    I can do a lot more things left handed than I could before my injury. It has made me realise how dominant my right hand was. I can do all my office stuff left handed. Probably got 60-70% useful use of my right hand and arm back. As it was out of use for so long it’s amazing how much you have to think to move it in a co-ordinated fashion. Getting there but it’s taking a lot longer than I ever thought it would.

    Brian Close had a Golf handicap of 2 right-handed and 4 left-handed apparently.
