Wow! It really looks the business, too.
Right, bike rides fantastic, a lot nicer than my Cinelli experience in terms of comfort and speed feels very stable down hill, climbs really well and Centaur brakes work great. In all honesty Campagnolo veloce I have on the Cinelli works just as well almost as the chorus and Athena I have a bit of trouble with toe overlap at the front and I am only a size 7 shoe ( this also happens on my Cinelli though ). Had a bit of trouble setting up the 11 speed derailleur ( bit more finicky than 9 or 10 speed ) definitely build one up yourself. May cost a little more but you get a real nice spec for the cash, think mine came in under £1600 ish but I lost count. Get some Cinelli ram bars on it and it would look awesome. Maybe I will upgrade in due course but it was built on a budget, could make it lighter easily if you have the cash or what sort or ride you want. Would definitely recommend it
thanks Edd23!
So many great pictures! Here's mine...

Hi
My Ribble Evo Pro Carbon might look like any other run of the mill black carbon steed but mine is slightly different. I bought this through the CtWS in September then fractured my ankle (badly) start of October so haven't used it yet!. I've had time to upgrade the seatpost, saddle, Shimano rs80 wheels with U Gatorskin tyres and pedals to complete the 105 kit.
The polystyrene effect adds a lovely touch to keep it warm in the garage until I can use it next year.
Happy cycling.

PS. That's a plastic bag wrapped around the bar to give the light mount something to grip. Shocking I know.

Holiday snap of my vaguely treved up Condor Fratello, taken on Paxos, all 7x2 miles of it.
Please forgive the bar tape, it was spare and came off soon after, the shame..
Bike as it should be, all unsporting and off on a fishing trip..

My dented, chipped and filthy old Kinesis Pro5 after some good honest mud plugging. She spends most of her time with Gatorksins and mudguards on slogging to and from work so it's nice to let her have a run out in the wild now and then. Cobbled together entirely from cast offs, second hand bits and EBay.
Shown here with 1x9 gearing but currently setup with a double
Crosslight Pro5 frame and generic brand carbony fork
Mavic CXP22 rims on Tiagra hubs w/ DT spokes (heavy but nails)
Kenda Kross tyres
Ritchey Pro stem and post
Deda bar
Prologo Vertigo saddle
SRAM Apex crank with 36T Middleburn ring
Shimano BR550 cantis
Shimano M520 pedals

Hello!
I'm Markus from Finland and this is my winter bike.
It's a Nishiki Bigfoot 29er. It is quite stable on snowy roads. As long as the temperature is well below freezing, the big tyres (2.25''if memory serves me correctly) also grip quite well, even on ice. When the weather gets warmer to around 0 degrees C, the roads get much more slippery, but I have another winter bike, a old 26'' Tunturi with studded tyres for that.
