   .....road bikes.

   Here's my new (few rides old by now) Raleigh SP Comp with a nice set of RS80's, 105/FSA Gossamer drive train & ITM Alutech finishing kit.

   

   Whats your road bike of choice?

   Mine, can't load the photo without the password for the account.
   Saw plenty of nice shiny bikes in Alf Jones this afternoon and decided that I want the 525 quid single speed Giant. All that bling is wasted on me.

    During one of the training rides, I was wearing shorts that day!

    You Sir are simply the epitome of Rule 9

    Yeah, bigG, going out for a ride in that? Wearing shorts was just silly, but riding on those roads is just suicidal. Top Rule #9 marks.

    Calm down, Realman. It was brand new. I've dropped the stem since then.

    Phew. Does look nice though, although maybe needs a completely white saddle? Or seatpost? Not sure.

    What's wrong with aluminium frames?

    Absolutely nowt if you have a good one, but mine's a shit (you get what you pay for) and is harsh as when on long rides. Steel will be more comfortable and it seemed better (not to mention cheaper) to reuse the frame I had.

    I love mine Wallop. Yet to take it on a long ride as I've had a chest infection for over a month now

    Here is my baby :-

    

    Have no problem with an ali frame, as said carbon, steel or ali the main thing is to get a good frame and good fit. Have done a fair few 100milers on it, Last Sunday just did the Phil Liggett sportive 94 miles with 2948m of climbing. Love that bike i do
