Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now.  1 I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!

Here is my current only bike, a Halfords Carrera Crossfire 2 Hybrid bike, a moderate bike for my introduction to cycling again at the age of 39, leaving me looking for a faster better lighter bike!!! It is modelled with a pint of Kronenbourg as this is the perfect cycling refreshment!

My lovely Cinelli Gazetta. It's had a facelift since last appearance here; new handbuilt wheels (mavic open sport rims, hope hubs), new forks (Columbus Tusk light), new stem & seat post. It makes an already enjoyable bike more fast and comfortable.

My Shiny new Roubaix, replacing my two month old Hybrid, I am astonished at the difference the bike makes, in terms of speed, manoeuverability, agility etc. Also the workout you get, I never envisaged the demands a road bike makes on your body compared to a straight bar hybrid! Very pleased!

My new bike. A Radon Vaillaint Dura Ace which was on rebate.

Overall the bike is light and fun to ride, just that the cosmic elite is a bit dull during acceleration. It seems to bend from side to side when I pedal hard out of saddle. (I am just 60kg btw)  2

Here are a few shots of my new Felt AR3. It's full 6800 Ultegra 52/36 11-25, all stock apart from shorter crank arms. Elite stealth cages, K-Edge chaincatcher and the new Garmin sensors hooked to an Edge 500.



Yes, the steerer needs cutting!

My current stable:

Raleigh Clubman - a bargain I couldn't resist

Genesis Volant - I decided to take it up to Scotland the other week with minimal baggage. I have to say it fared pretty well considering

Peugeot Performance (80s/90s?) - this currently lives 'up the road' but it's getting taken down here at the first opportunity. Great fun to ride.

Edinburgh Bike Co Courier Nexus - my bad weather beater, although I'm probably going to get shot of it to make space

Hi All,
on my way back to a Colnago (eventually) here is my current steed.
Planet X Pro Carbon with nice Zondas, Conti GP4000s, Dura Ace 7900 kit (prefer the 105 sti's though), SM Carbon 'bit of a saddle' (surprisingly comfortable), Keo Carbons, and Polar Cad 200 - all up with bottle cage/pump bracket, a hair's weight over 16lb - very nice indeed.
My first PX, cracking on the hills, fast as you can pedal, 'solid' ride and looks cool too,,,,,,,, Still hanker after my Colly though.
Enjoy,
Trikeman.  3

Erm, mine is a (Chinese) Colnago M10, built a (it was featured by me on these very forum pages), Chinarillo a couple of years ago, rode 2500 happy miles on it, and re-sold the frame to a club mate.

So I then re-invested that cash on another Chinese "rip-off" frame from the same supplier as the Chinarillo, but this time I opted for a Colnago M10!!
I then invested a pile of cash into the build, this can then go onto what ever I get next, yes it will be a proper frame next time.....

Its got (real), Sram red group set, Far Sport 38mm carbon hoops, carbon XXX Bontrager stem and bar, 3T seat post, Shimano 105 carbon pedals, Fizik arione saddle and conti gp4000s tyres. It weighs in with pedals at 7Kg on the spot, Ive ridden nearly 2000 miles this spring/summer, it rides fantastic and looks pretty good too in my eyes.

My recently purchased Giant Defy Advanced 1. Full Ultegra groupset. Have only done 2 rides so far. Extremely happy with it especially at the price I paid for it. A step up from my other bike, Scott Speedster 20.
A question while I am here. Is it worth getting a Garmin Edge 510 or 810 to use with Giant Ridesense? Currently using Edge 200 which is not Ant+

I know, it's facing the wrong way but the groupset isn't worth showing off anyway.

And then my mtb - frame, handlebar and seatpost are the only original parts!

My best bike, a Pegoretti Mxxxxxo I've nicknamed Il Super Laterale.

The paint is custom; I asked Dario to listen to Soundgarden's Superunknown album and Tool's Lateralus, then paint whatever he wanted.

He also added a question to the chainstay. What does an Aussie do in Seattle? Good question.

The groupset is Super Record, with 3T components. Wheels are custom; DT240s laced to Easton SLX90 rims with FMB Competition tubulars.

By some margin this is the best bike I've ridden. It goes as good as it looks; I've podiumed several races. Steel is very much real.

Wow, that is something else. Can't believe you race it though, if it got scratched I'd cry. In fact, I'd cry if yours got scratched, I'd beheartbroken if it was mine! Any chance of some more close ups of the paintwork?

Very nice looking bike! I think I may be persuaded to get those wheels!  1

That's the Fizik PA:K bag, but what size? And have you had any problems with the clip? Seems like a fair amount of grumbling on CRC.

Whatever happened to the 'ole Chinarello' Wheelz? Used to love the updates.  16
I like that M10 rep, seen loads of them on Aliexpress (just shut most of the copy sites down) and especially DHgate in every colourscheme. How does yours handle? (who's the guy)??????

Hi Trikeman

I am interested in purchasing a Planet X Pro Carbon. What height and resultant frame size are you? Did you purchase online or head to Sheffield to try first. Were Planet x okay to deal with.
