Cool, i wasn't sure if Veloflex made clinchers or not, they look the goods.

Very nice ride!

PS - you can remove the cadence magnet cable-tied to the pedal crank and just use a rare-earth magnet on the back of the pedal bolt. The garmin sensor should pick it up well.

My new bike... its entry level but very happy with it.

Being happy with it is the most important thing!

+1! Nothing wrong with Acera either, it does the job pretty well.

If it gets you out there and riding, it's the perfect bike.

This is my first road bike which I've had for about 18 months. Alloy and loving it!

Got some accessories on my new Avanti. Muguards and narrower tyres are next on the list.

That aside, that Azzuri is a nice looking bike for something, well, modern! How does it go, OP?

it was taken last friday but only figure out how to put the image by today

It is my first carbon bike. It was really fast n stiff for an beginner like me

Same old bike ....... new rollers.........

Gorgeous classy bike.
Not a fan of the Garmin mount #personalchoice

Very nice bike The tyres you have there look like the old style singles(with the yellow style walls),one of the lads on the bunch ride yesterday had a new similar looking pair.Are they vittoria tyres?

The computer mount seems to be very far back. Would imagine it's quite a shift in eye sight to look at it? I've just bought one of the new k-edge mounts for garmin comps that put it out in front the bars. A great purchase and much better place to keep on eye on all the stats.

Thanks, is a lovely bike to ride, very comfortable.

Yes, Vittoria Open Corsa SC Tubulars, very fast and yet plenty comfortable.

I prefer the computer tucked underneath my chin like this, too much data gazing otherwise, I prefer to gaze down at the front hub spinning............

Almost hypnotic isn't it? .

I'm assuming you still have the chunky carbon fibre wheels? I'm curious about the change.

Hypnotic, yes. When the road is open and long and flat I find watching the front hub spin up helps me get into a rhythm, esp. with breathing. I put a couple of reflective stickers on the hub body which catches the eye easily.

I now actually own a trio of carbon wheels - still have the chunky Nimble Crosswind tri-spokes which are easily the most comfortable to ride on (shod with Vittoria CG Pave tubs) and the most stable wheels I've ever ridden - even with nasty crossing winds - probably my go to wheels when it's windy and I'm not riding bigger hill climbs. I also recently picked up an inexpensive pair of lightly used Nimble Fly low profile carbon tubulars which I've have just glued some fresh Vittoria Pave tubs to now awaiting a decent ride.......
