You must have really big spuds too judging by the saddle angle... 🙂 And whilst we're ripping the piss out of your bike, what's with the spacers? Oops, sorry, too far...
I don't own a hacksaw. Otherwise the Giant a few pages back wouldn't have a mountain of spacers too.
New stem & Bars order. Deda 130mm stem and some Deda 440mm bars 🙂
You can get a hacksaw off ebay for a few quid - it won't be great, but it will be good enough to trim some steerers 😉

Love it because it is the perfect blend of comfort, weight and stiffness .
And the lugs are pretty cool too.

£40 Raleigh Scorpio Twelve from ebay.
Tips the scales at 10KG.
I've cleaned up the back end, which had been hand painted in gloss paint and added spds. Bar tape WILL be replaced as soon as I get round to it.
Rather enjoying it at the moment, more than my MTB!
Roubaix's always look SO comfortable. Assume they are?
Yes, I have a 2006 Roubaix, which is just a collection of carbon tubes and rides nicely enough but this 2012 incarnation is a different beast altogether; it manages to be sharp as anything in the way it climbs, descends, corners and brakes yet actually more comfortable than the old model. Carbon frame makers are obviously learning fast how to use the material to its best advantage.
2 for me:

I love it because it was made for me, fits me like a glove, is a masterpiece of workmanship, a bit different and it isn't carbon. Oh, and I love the electronic noises it makes!

I love it because it is a classic. Wanted one for years, and when they re-released the colour I just had to have one.
Since moving to Hong Kong, both now sport compact chainsets of the same variety.
solarider those are two very tasty bikes!
You had to ruin it with that last sentence didn't you 😉

It was that or (deep breath) a triple!
Man alive the hills are tough over here and it hasn't dropped below 35 degrees since we moved.
Try that in a 52/11, or even a 39/25!
Awesome looking bike Howarthp!
Ok howarthp and solarider have the biggest swinging dicks.... Blimey, coulda got a very nice car for that 🙂
Swinging dick aside I must admit to driving a Mini
Aaah, ooh, that's gone and done it. Effeminate hairdresser with blond highlights and camp lisp rides fantastic bike conundrum... 🙂
Blonde highlights are SO last year...
Haven't got a photo of my current one, but this is what I was riding last summer:

I love it because it's cleaner than my other bikes.

I hate it because it's a pig to keep clean.
Not a great pic, but my Canyon Roadlite Al Sl, basic model sram apex throughout, but i love it. Such a great road bike!

sputnik - if you must have green bar tape then you need to choose something different to drink.
Some jaw dropping bikes on this page.
Mines a flatbar,, bought the Planet X frame and forks then built it up with Dura Ace and my old Hope/Mavic wheels. Cheap as far as carbon goes, but no issues yet and tips the scales at 7.4KG even with a pair of durano plus tyres on. [img]

Are hybrids allowed?
😕
Upgrade to the Van Nicholas. Thanks to British cycling insurance, no thanks to a car driver and a Van. - Slightly injured but didn't keep me off the bike.
As a previous thread I started about wheels for a grand. well I had to purchase (no choice) some from the LBS and these are absolutely lush. FastForward F4r 40mm. Stiff, DT 240s ceramic hubs. Slightly heavy @ 1600g but its a ti bike and I have not noticed a difference, even on the hills.

I have even lowered the stem and liking the position.
Fulcrum Racing 1's for sale btw which have done approx 280miles - 2 weeks riding. They are selling new @ £580 - will except offers.

Bought this F&F&HS off ebay last week on a bit of a whim. Think it was for sale on here aswell. Built but not ridden, due to a buggered mech hanger. Initial impressions are it might be a touch small as I suspected. Might try a -17 140mm stem since that'll look even nicer than the 130 that's on it at the moment.

Re sell it. you'll regret it if you dont.
I need to give it a go at least first!

Just finished this.
Is that an FM066 Atlaz??
FM066 SL yep
This was the one that 'started it'....but it got pinched 🙁

Just moved from the Cannondale Six to the Supersix Hi-Mod Evo. Its light and stiff and maybe the most comfortable road bike I've ridden. Stays are very skinny as are the forks, soaks up a lot of road buzz.....rides a bit like Ti. Very happy with it so far. Wheels as important as the frame though, have had my old Ksyrium Elites on it, are decent wheels but these SLR change the ride completely.
Never had a bike pinched, at least cars have immobilisers.
How was it pinched ? Whilst you were in a shop, cafe, at the house.
It was pinched whilst locked up outside work in broad daylight 🙁
That was last August...after 12 months of upgrading and chopping and changing, I've just finished building up this:
