Close run thing for me between the Rourke and the Volare, with the Alain Michel edging it just because I’ve not seen one before. Pegoretti is spoiled by the ugly crank, which was a necessary evil at the time for the power meter.

I know it’s not going to excite anyone, but I think my Defy is really really good…

I think that looks decent.

Although I think in terms of best looking the Vitus can’t be considered; it’s got an inline post and a short stem to start with.

The Alan Michel would easy have it, but the stem is too short. I like the Rourke, but the messy spacers and bars spoil it a bit. I reckon it’s the Peg or the Volare. Although I think if I put my saddle down a bit and got round to getting my lower headset top cap cover then it’d be mine by quite a margin 😉

EDIT

Jsut revisited the Rourke and I’m gonna cross it off the list. 6 degree stems with horizontal top tubes just don’t look right. It’s gotta be a -17 like the Cervelo I posted on the first page.

Stem down and bars up- tick 🙂
Aero frame and loads of non aero bits hanging off- tick 🙂

What’s the lump behind the head tube ?

Photo should have been taken outside but….

Understated and most awesome bike I’ve ever ridden. Colnago C60 in THNE

😀
only recently turned the stem over & hadn’t noticed the bar-crime
never really wanted an aero frame; was tricked into it by that Scott sell-off a couple of years ago and wasn’t much choice left (I don’t find it as harsh as it supposedly should be though). The bits haging off it are mostly bejind my arse and frankly, you could probably fasten anything you wanted behind that ! Down tube is almost as wide as a bottle 😯 so again, anything goes behind it
lump behind head tube is a CO2 pump & spare cartridge

‘Temperature in your current level cation – 23c.’ Only one thing for it then…

This thread has inspired me to get my sigma sport bike for a thorough clean – finger nails are filthy after here washes!!

Just need to buys some new shoes to replace my old tri shoes

2 big bottles and a bento box? Please tell me you were doing some sort of silly mileage.

My new r2 straight out of the box. The colour is a bit marmite but I love it!

Not the best (in anyway arty) photo

Edit: Argh, why won’t Google photos or drive allow bb linking anymore?

I do covet one of those volares though

Here’s mine with the race wheels on.

Too busy riding it to cut the steerer.

My colnago clx

Not the best photo but the only one i have on my phone.

122km?

Mine…

Nothing fancy but is bloody quick 🙂

Do like that Pegoretti and the Rourke, and the Volare too.

beej, your photo’s broken. How’s the eTap?

My still brand new Niner, waiting patiently in the basement at work for me to sling my leg over it.

😀

There’s an awful lot of gears in this thread…

(thankfully it’s hard to make out how hideously dirty the chain and cassette are…)

Very nice Jamz.

2006 frame with not so old components, still going well.

@mrblobby

Must be a google permissions thing maybe. eTap is great, but let’s be honest, it just makes the gears go up and down just like mechanical but without the potential for bad adjustments and sticky cables ruining things. You pick up the left/down right/up both/front thing very quickly.

Ah! Someone has given me another excuse to show it off!

As of this afternoon, it now has a shorter stem…
