If you'll pardon my poor manners (for a true gentleman would never ask this of a lady), what size is she?

She's a 57 both ways, a little too tall for ideal but I'll take the TT length as close enough to perfect thanks

Needs a dirt drop stem to get those handlebars up a bit higher so you can hit the log and ledge drops on the singletrack.

Sorry about the dodgy photo (and weeding) , but will try and and get a better one when the weather clears and there is some sunshine.
Anyway, Trek 2013 Madone 5 series (56 cm / H2 fit) with DA 11 Speed Di2 and DA C35's.

Hi Booge,booge wrote:Love those wheels. I'm generally not a carbon wheel fan but those look great. How do they ride? I've never heard of that brand before i saw your post.alkhoo wrote:

Sorry for the late reply. The wheels are great - stiffer yet more comfortable than the Ksyriums that came with the bike. Crosswinds - not really an issue. I've only had one or two gusts of wind that's unsettled me in nearly 9 months of ownership. Braking is pretty good. They don't bite as quick as alloys, but I managed to lock my rear wheel up three weeks ago - completely shredded the Schwalbe Ultremo DD tyre. It was either that or get T-boned and land in the tray of a ute.

Spot on, Brooks Swallow in the dark brown with matching bar tape. I'm a black/black type and would never pick brown by myself but it really works well against the green frame.Biffidus wrote:Looks like a Brooks to me - the swallow perhaps?peterk wrote:Looks great.

Now I've gotta find some appropriate toe clips to go with the MKS Road pedals...

26, I'll probably swap to something a little thinner when they were out as clearance isn't great.ldrcycles wrote:What size tyres are you running, they look seriously fat?
