Gorgeous bike but please ask Tailwind to dump the spoke protector. Kinda spoils the otherwise PRO look.U2adam!!! wrote:My new Merida Reacto 909E bought from Tailwind Cycles here in Adelaide.

Now just waiting for the weather to improve so I don't get it wet.

Awesome bike man. The black and white colour scheme works very well indeed. That also includes the colour matched basket on the left
Hope the weather gets better for you. Let us know how the ride goes well.

Plastic guard removed...mezla wrote:USadam: Remove that nasty looking plastic gear guard on your rear wheel. I have DA C35s... they are simply luscious wheels. They deserve nicer tyres though.
Tyres will be replaced but will stick with them in the short term because they match the bike...
Great weather this weekend in Adelaide! Out she goes for the first time.

Black and White Schwalbe Ultremo ZX's will look awesome on your beautiful bike IMO, I've got them on my Cannondale and they are the best looking thing on the bike!U2adam!!! wrote:Plastic guard removed...mezla wrote:USadam: Remove that nasty looking plastic gear guard on your rear wheel.

Oh hey, don't get me wrong, I have white Rubinos on my Reynolds Solitudes (my commuting wheels). I think they look pretty coolfamilyguy wrote:Dont listen to them! The Rubino's look good, and they're a great tyre. Why spend $100+ when you dont have to?
...but on Dura-Ace 7900 C35 wheels, you really should get something better.

I have red ones though, well I did, but I wore them out!
Underrated on BNA IMO but I agree with mezla, they are no Schwalbe Ultremo's etal and Dura Ace C35's deserve top end tyres IMO

Yes, that Titanio is beautiful and was also quite successful racing with a bunch of wins in the early 1990s.matt1986 wrote:I usually lurk around the marketplace, but figured I'd share a couple of my favourite builds:

Something faster and lighter. Pro3s are chunky and good all-purpose. I like mine a lot. C35 are not all-purpose wheels... they're luscious kickass fast wheels that beg for very fast tyres and latex tubes. IMHOfamilyguy wrote:Definition?
