Tony Farrelly

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

When I say I earn it, I actually am being given it!

It was a part ex at my mates shop, and I have been asking about it for the last year or two, he can't be bothered to lead the shop ride, and this is enticement for me to do it....it worked.

It's 1994 not '97 too...

I'll be giving it some TLC and then it'll get it's studio session.

What I find almost frustrating about this picture is that they appear to be riding in a more disciplined group than the one I'll be leading on Monday!

The up side is I earn myself a Look KG171 team edition bike complete with Campag group and wheels of Record hubs and Mavic rims for the service!

This is the 1997 Once team edition bike that Alex Zulle and Laurent Jalabert rode. I can't wait to lay my hands on it, it's in very good condition considering it's a 20 year old carbon frame!
