That's cool

OMGosh! That is beautiful!
Those 888 SuperKing's look fantastic with the SRAM Red groupo.

Really? Not my cup o'tea so to speak. No coffee machine

The bike looks almost entirely hot...

Nice ride, unfortunately mine is back with the MS engineer team

The Cubes come with two bottle cage mounts, its a 59cm size though the way they size them it is more like a 54cm, being a cross bike you usually size them a little smaller and this seems favourable in comparison to my 56cm Trek road bike.

Cheers for the very comprehensive response. Much appreciated. Interesting to hear about Cube's sizing, too - I'm in the process of trying to sell a 56cm BMC which is more like a 60-62cm Trek (at least compared to my current Madone). Virtual top tube, sloping top tube, etc., blah. Pick one means of measurement, you manufacturers, and stick to it!

This is my new steer. There has been a new stem and some slamming done since - but this is immediately before going into the box before TDU. It's 6.8kg with record, Fulcrum Racing 0, carbon bars, Selle seat, speedplay pedals and blackburn bottle cages.. It's a large frame, so I'm pretty happy with that. It's a revelation to ride after the Defy.

Nice home for the bike

Hi Guy's recently bought a new steed after xmas and just recently purchased a new set of wheels.. although I will still keep the Cosmic Elites that came with it as a spare set.

Merida Reacto 907E 2012 (Ultegra Di2)






Must say loving the bike so far but I need to work on my photo taking abilities

Very nice. I tried to pick up a C5 2013 frame on ebay, but it went too high. I ended up going with a chinese frame instead.

Hongfu FM066-SL (inspired by Cervelo R5 -- that is, I was inspired to buy it by an R5; I can only assume the designers were too).

Frame is very light (879g including hanger), but the 105 groupset is not so light and the stem, bars and cages are only middling weight). It rides really well (at least compared to my old Oppy A5). It feels very similar in comfort terms to the R5.

Where can I get one, and for how much ?

Frame, fork and seatpost $696US shipped. Took a week to arrive, then a week for me to build it. With luck one day I will buy an R5ca, but that will need a lot more time at work, and a lot of sucking up to my wife. This was under the radar, basically.

I just knew there was a reason I rode faster to work today but I could not put my finger on it.
