Love those veggie beds, used to do something similar but not as well presented as those!

Paconi Columbus tubing. Mavic Ksyrium Elites (1st gen) and Campag Centaur Century Grey 10sp.
Sadly a Hyundai ended the life of this bike, but her insurance piad for this.
First upgrade, to a Chorus front mech (much better quality than the Cent one)
Well, this frame cracked just behind the bottom bracket (chain stay) so look replaced it with this. Very nice of them.
I in turn upgraded everything but the cranks to Chorus 10sp. Ritchey WCS carbon bars and Ritchey WCS saddle (very under-rated saddle)
The old group just happenned to bolt nicely to this... a 1989 Le Kypo Reynolds frame I scored for the best price - free.
note the Centaur UT cranks... I couldn't be bothered stuffing around with the BB on the look etc.
Got a 2nd hand Ksyrium Elite rear wheel and pinched the Aksium front wheel from my wifes bike.
Along the way I also scored this freebie (ref hard rubbish/tip finds thread in the retro cycling area) and added some brooks, new levers and cables etc.
This one's a bit small for me, so it's currently for sale.

Took it for a burn down to the wife's work which is 3km away and noticed a MASSIVE difference between this and my old steel demon. Only problem is I can't stop coughing now.. the cold air screwed up my chest!!!
All in all, it was packed perfectly by Durban Cycles in Sutherland (many thanks!) and Greyhound shipped it up overnight from Syd. Put it together in about 30 mins. The packaging was that professional it looked like it had just come out of the box for the first time.
Will just need to tinker a little now to get things spot on.

Changes made are:
Shimano 6700 groupset
Shimano 6700 pedals
Shimano 6700 wheelset
Hutchinson Fusion 3 tubeless tyres with NoTubes sealant
Selle Italia SLR XP saddle
Specialized Roubaix bar tape
Now I just need to wait for the weather to improve so I can ride it... heaven forbid I get the new parts wet

Sweet bike man!
I recently bought my first road bike, the 2011 TCR Composite 1 which you can see on page 109 here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8664&start=2700. Which model TCR is this one? They are a great bike, so smooth!
How do tubeless tires fair up against tubed ones?? would they puncture easier? whats the advantage? Can you just plug them like you do with a normal tubeless car tire when you get a puncture?

Brakes are SRAM Force (saves $100). Rest is Red. Too wet to ride it today
Am planning on ordering some wheels from TWE shortly once I get a bit more cash from parts sales from my old bikes.

The whole point of running tubeless is that you fill the tyre with a sealant so when it does get a small-medium puncture the seals back up by itself and you don't have to stop ridinggooldin wrote: How do tubeless tires fair up against tubed ones?? would they puncture easier? whats the advantage?

They are supposed to have less rolling resistance too. I don't think their puncture resistance is any different apart from the fact that you can run sealant in them and that is pretty effective.Robdog wrote:The whole point of running tubeless is that you fill the tyre with a sealant so when it does get a small-medium puncture the seals back up by itself and you don't have to stop ridinggooldin wrote: How do tubeless tires fair up against tubed ones?? would they puncture easier? whats the advantage?

To patch them I believe you just put a conventional patch on the inside, however if they have sealant in them (and it fails to seal) I guess you'd have to clean that off before parching and if its a big hole or tear you need a boot.
Their principal disadvantage is that they are difficult to mount and remove.
I have a set but I haven't given them a good run yet.

As with any tyre, puncture resistance and longevity depend on which one you buy, but Cruiserman has put 1000k's on his Intensives and hasn't had a puncture. Having a look at them last night there was a reasonable cut in the tyre we could see 2 little spots of sealant in, but clearly it was doing it's job. That's the point of the system, trying to avoid the small punctures caused by chips of glass and thorns. You can't pinch flat either, and because of this you can use tyre leversnotwal wrote:They are supposed to have less rolling resistance too.

Sexy looking bike. Yeah - it sucks that its raining all the time - I want to ride my baby too. Keeping it clean might be a bit annoying with the white if you're anal about it. I am - going to invest in a set of baby wipes to clean the drive train everytime I take her out...nutsack wrote:Finally got my insurance replacement bike, but due to getting less then original value of my bike + accessories replaced I decided to get a cash settlement and import a bike from the US (Competitve Cyclist).

Great looking bike!
The cable loop to the rear derailleur looks a bit long to me. No?
