I bought the bike off the "My Dad's Calud Buttler" thread 🙂
Also got a fixie/singlespeed that just needs a BB and re-dish to the rear wheel to get it spinning.
Sam both your bikes are beautiful! Tell me some m ore about them?
My Lemond Sarthe. True Temper Platinum OX. Bonty Race fork, Full Ultegra 6500 9sp, Pro Lite Luciano wheels Conti GP/Spesh Armadillo tyres, EA50 post, Reynolds X-105 stem, Bonty Race Lite bars, Bel Air Ti saddle. Rides great, very comfy and I don't feel broken after a 3hrs+ rides. Still very quick and surprisingly light. Without the guards and the seat pack it weights 9.3kg (used fishing scales), change of tyres and tubes and it would be just under 9kg. And it's orange.
[edit] bike in the pic has a different stem but because I lost my gut now I have a -8 degrees Reynolds stem (so not sky high :-)) and longer at 120mm instead of 100mm as well. [edit]
I have a white Genesis Flyer like this -
By the side of my desk I have a growing pile of parts to build up a 2011 Genesis Equilibrium frame up into a winter commuter. This is the new Reynolds 725 version. Frame is not in the country for another couple of weeks so expect photos of it in about 3 weeks.
mister p anyidea of price of the equilibrium frames when they land?
Equlibrium frame is £230 I found out yesterday which is a beagain imo

The first one is a [url= http://www.singularcycles.com/peregrine.html ]Singular Peregrine[/url] - repainted recently.
The Second is a prototype [url= http://www.singularcycles.com/projects.html ]Singular Osprey[/url]. This one actually is my Dad's, but I have one as well.

wonderful frame, builds up to about 7,5kg with chorus 11 and my 'climbing' wheels. the eurus' in the pic were just on for a race. it's a marcelo, built a couple of years ago.. took almost a year coz dario was ill at the time. columbus spirit tubes. bought it as i was moving from london to the mountains and needed something a bit more spritely on the climbs... and it coincided with a redundancy cheque!
i've done a lot of time on this bike, i was racing every week in may & june and won nowt but we were always the first non-carbon bike back 😉
in balance, maybe if i was buying again i'd go for the duenda, as the marcelo is silly stiff at the back, i had to put that ugly layback post on just to damp some of the buzz. but then, i notice prices of pegorettis have not far off doubled since i bought it...not sure if i could lay out that kind of money.
but if you do go for one, dario's a lovely guy to deal with (and a stoner which you wouldn't think would go hand in hand with framebuilding!) and supposedly built pinarello branded frames for indurain, so comes with a bit of a pedigree 😉
and good luck with the paint job... i love mine but haven't met anyone who doesn't hate it!
