Not the biggest, best or flashest, but I love it, so much better than road, no cars, it just feels right. http://www.use.com/a149d91eda65bd26f963]

Ha ha. I sometimes run it with a bag that takes up most of the main triangle but then I have to loose one of my bottle cages.trickle wrote:Good to see an old Giant still being used, but it needs way more stuff hanging off it.

I had that problem when I ran a metal cage there but the plastic one holds them nice and tight and doesn't bend out of shape.Wayfarer wrote:Nice Giant! Tell me, have you solved the problem of bottles launching out of the rear carrier? I use a bungee cord.

Just curious as to what size frame this one is....... the black inner diamond paintwork makes this look very compact to the eye and the two tone "Giant" logos work very well on this black and white frame....... wheel match nicely........hs143no wrote:

That's going to be one tough ride considering you haven't got pedals!

Nah! Have you ridden the Gong ride? Unless you get a head start, you'll spend the first few kms straddling your bike and paddling along with your feet. Buy some pedals at a shop along the way and put them on when you get close to the Captain Cook bridge and the bike traffic starts to thin outhannos wrote:257LL wrote:Hi everyone my first post so I thought i would start here

Here is a pic of the bike as it rolls today. Still filthy from the ride up Eagle on The Hill on Monday night, and now up to 341km so far after 10 days. Just waiting on a 10mm longer stem from PBK.
Rides really well, so I'm a happy camper

At first I was skeptical about the colour however it has grown on me. I have order 2 new bottle cages for it aswell.
At the moment it is running 105 however am thinking of upgrading to sram red down the track.

That's a huge saddle set back. Are your thighs abnormally long or is this your preferred position ?briztoon wrote:Oh look, somewhere else for me to put up a pic of my new Specialized Tarmac Comp SL2.

Looks a little distorted.
And looking at the saddle rails, the saddle is actually quite forward.

Built up the Farleigh's replacement;
Bosevski frame
Columbus SLX, Cinelli lugs
Suntour Superbe cranks
Suntour Sprint hubs
Shimano 600 Ultegra derailleurs
As soon as it stops raining we'll go for a spin
Photo does not do the bike justice
Cheers,
