Just placed a $160 order with Wiggle and tried to use the EXTRA10 discount voucher from the TdF but that offer had expired. I placed the order anyway then watching a You Tube video to see 10-OFF as the current discount code.

Rodman frame from German ?

Yes From German, but he's from Italy and hes moved to New Zealand

[Wal42]

My bike cave is a big money pit, with 13 bikes I have a constant stream of parts arriving, waiting for bike #13(a bare frame to be built) to arrive.


You guys with 1 or 2 bikes are plain lucky, I wish I could live with that amount.

[g-boaf]

Hmm, let's see:

1x Shimano 105 RD - $60
1x Bontrager Aeolus 5 carbon-clincher wheel set - $2000
1x set of Bontrager cork brake pads - ~$30 (iirc)
1x Fizik Arione VS saddle $129
1x Shimano SPD-SL cleats
1x pair of Capo Modena gloves - $70
BNA cycling kit - can't remember the price - but easily worth the money
A heap of Castelli stuff coming soon - $450

Yeah, quite a decent lot. And a planned new bike too. I've been looking around at another one - saw a almost new Cervelo R5 going for $4000, but that seemed to good to be true, so I'll probably just build up a frame, perhaps a new Madone 6 series with Di2 and put all my existing fast parts on that and the Madone 4.5 can be the regular bike. I'm in no hurry. It'll make it a lot easier to manage rather than swapping wheels and brake pads over.

So one bike can be a proverbial GT1 and the other a GT3 if you know your racing.

[JessicaAlba]

Hmmm, righto...to my best approximations

Specialized Sectuer Elite - $1480
Limar Helmet - $45
Shimano SPD-SL 105 Pedals - $65

Lights F&R (can't recall brand) - $50
Scott shorts - $45
Splash jacket - $60
Saddle bag - $30
Floor pump - $45
Lock - $40i
Spare tube/repair kit/multi tool - $50
Display rack - $35

$2125 so far...

...and already thinking of upgrading the bike!

Addendum.

2nd display stand - $40
