Pogačar unveils a bare-carbon cobble machine for Paris-Roubaix

TL;DR Summary
Tadej Pogačar has overhauled his Paris-Roubaix cobble bike into a near-no-paint, weight-lean machine: wider tires around 35mm, a spare bike with 32mm rear, a legal 65mm rear rim on ENVE SES 6.7 wheels, a matte raw-carbon frame with minimal grafics, bayonet fork, a single front chainring, lightweight parts including aftermarket thru-axles, a 3D-printed saddle, foam under the brake levers, and a hinge-equipped Colnago computer mount. The goal is to shave weight and boost performance on the cobbles with a tech-forward setup, illustrating a meticulous, race-ready approach to the Monument.
