You did half the work. Get the URL (the bit beginning with http) and then push the IMG button on the posting form. Shove that in the popup and you're done

Flickr loading isn't working for me either, despite dropping in in HTML or BB code, ****ing flickr,,,

You'll just need to accept my word that my road bike is sick, rad & completely awesome, unlike my riding.

I hate the massive logos on road stuff - apart from the clearance price, the main reason for me buying a planet-x was the relatively quiet finish

shame you bought the new type R as opposed to the far superior old Type R.

Already owned the 'old' type r, the new ones better/worse in many ways. It gets me from A to B though.

the main reason for me buying a planet-x was the relatively quiet finish

I own a planet x pro sl as well for my commute. Felt though is so much better, mainly front end stifness, ride quality and once upto speed it seems easier to keep it there

It looks like TT bike too-how's it ride radoggair?

Rides really nice in fact. kind of a good all rounder, does everything amazingly well. The only downside ( for me personally) is aesthetically i prefer a sloping top tube. Ride quality, it irons out alot of road discomforts really well, its great at keeping speed whereas my planet x can sometimes feel like a chore keeping at speed. Sram red is very marmite, would of preferred dura-ace i would think

After a while wouldnt you feel a bit of a **** riding an advert?

potentially some people might, but once you really get into the road riding scene/ mountain bike scene then its a given that at times you will look like an advert

You may laugh at the '[b]under seat storage facility[/b]', but it was housing the puncture repair kit I needed twice yesterday when 20 miles from home!
Sadly Camelbacks on a road bike just don't work.

Surely you could put some faster tyres on that?

Its the AR3, same as the AR1 but different groupset ( sram red v dura-ace) and 28mm wheels instead of 42mm, and prob a few other lighter component changes

Looks pretty special to me.

Suggest changing the kitchen tiles and doing something a little more interesting than just paving slabbing your back yard ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's in big/big, how can you take a photo like that!? Poor form. Are those man's chainrings? None of this compact malarkey I hope!

Looks good.
