Hey Marky, do you change your frame every time you change your cassette
So next time you change your cassette again, please let me know before posting anything

The SST served me well for 2 years!

Agreed aero all carbon complete a badass bike, and not just because I was in the market for Mark's red Zero's before I got hooked on Spinergy PBO's.
Speaking of PBO, here's a new 29er disc set in a 26" frame with suspension geometry corrected fork, to be a disc road 700c commuter, with MTB wheelset and suspension fork option to play with the Scott Scale 50.


Also one of these is on the way hopefully before new year to pack on a new year's beach break for some casual waterfront cycling. Strida Evo 3 speed (bottom bracket Sturmey Archer 60deg kickback gear sequence)

new to me

sweet lines on that BMC

Update on my Norco RD-2 - now with the Pro-Lite Comos.



I also purchased a Trek 1.9 a while back to use as my alternate bike whilst away at work. It now has DA7800 and Pro-Lite Comos. It is a slightly more relaxed fit when compared to the Norco.



cheers

[quote="btothec"]Very nice looking Foil you have there!

Cheers,

Sorry to hear about your CR1. How did they break it?

Deep dish are not ideal for daily 60k commutes to work and back.

But Fulcrum Racing Zero's and a Specialized S Works Venge are?? x a zillionty

Huh?
What's your point? I use my bike for everything from daily rides to club rides and shop rides.
There's no point putting dish wheels on when riding to work and back.
I have dish wheels for those other times.

The point is you are talking about things being "not ideal" and yet you have a full tilt race machine you use as a commuter.
I just found it humorous is all.

The bike itself is some way between a tarmac and a shiv and keeping the alloy braking surface like this doesn't badass it up imo,

I had cheap no-stickers all carbon ones in mind to go with the matte black.

If you want to pick on someone, my Hooligan has now subscribed to the Pletscher easy-fix rack/luggage quick release system I've used and liked on other regular rackable bikes. Been a bonus having the space for getting extra xmas goodies back home.

Agree totally Mark If you didn't ride it, someone would complain. When I commute, it tends to be on the carbon roadie running zeros. It's easier for the 65km round trip. And I don't carry anything with me when I do commute.

As everyone here tells everyone looking to buy a bike - buy the bike that makes you want to ride it. End of story.

Why can't we just settle this on a long flat road
And have good brekkie and laughs, and shake hands . PEACE!!!!

Here is my new stead my Cannondale CAAD10 Black Inc

I saw one of those on a bunch ride the other day, i prefer gloss to the textured/matt black myself but still a really good looking bit of gear.

Frothing!

FM028 ISP - Chinese generic frame.

One of my experiments, now sold to a gentleman.

I have a new frame in the family. It's an Apollo Artec R Olympic Edition. Frame replaces my Scott CR1 frame that jet star got a little rough with. It will eventually be repaired.

thumbs up

Love this bike, looks kind of like the Ritte Bosberg....although I think those frames are from pedal force. It would come up great with a nice subtle paint job.

I got this off ebay about 10 months ago (Chinarellos all the way, I've had no problems with the frame whatsover) and have finally gotten round to taking some pictures after I've just finished putting on a new cassette, chain and.. wait for it..
Osymetric rings!
After taking it for a spin up and down the street I think it'll take a bit of a while to get the hang of but I can really feel the difference, your foot/leg just gets catapulted through the top and bottom of the stroke.

Black with red and white highlights. simple and mean.
