Seen as the sun's out. Mine's a bit of a disappointment anyway, nothing fancy at all!

That's a looooong stem too - with a looong and layback seatpost.

I'm guessing they didn't have one in your size?

Gets ridden in the summer. Often on roads, often not.

Nice CFH. I like yer tyres, and the well fitted guards; a must have for typical summer really. And a seatpost the looks worse than my monstrosity....

Plus, ATACs FTW!

It was second hand; beggars can't be choosers 😉

Ok, flame away.

The front end is a bit higher than usual while I get over a shoulder injury. 0 degree stem doesn't look right.

Don't mind that apart from the garmin mount. Get an out front and you're sorted

Apart from the saddle bag. Does your jersey not have pockets?

Not a garmin mount. It's an iPhone mount while I find one that's out front.

🙂 yes the saddle bag. That's fitted at the moment to stop me getting a wet crack 🙂 . It stops any spray going though the cut out in the "flow" saddle. When it's proper dry, it shall be removed.

K-edge out fronts are ace.

David, my seatpost may look like the depths of the devil's dunny, but it's superb. Oh, and ATACs with super stiff xc race shoes are the way forward for gnarmac.

Like the Cervelos, they look proper pro. Even the steel one they did which was lush.

Yeh, I switched to them after reading some of yours/other posts on here about them. Love them with carbon soled Sidis.

A black stem'd look better. Maybe one of the 3T ones with a red stripe down it?

I usually use a Zipp black/ black to match the bars. It does look much better.

Crap photo. Not the most expensive but at 8kg for such a big frame I'm happy enough with it. Cost me less than £600 to build.

Loving the Italian bikes; that De Rosa is sick. That Colnago could do with some compact drops though.

That TCR is sort of what I was hoping the level would be set at. Could do with some full carbon wheels though I reckon.

German efficiency, although not in driveway maintenance.

Looks dull, very light (6.3kg w/o pedals), handles beautifully. Now been upgraded to eTap.

Proper gears! I could really do with a standard double to not make the most of 😉 They look better though.

Not the best photos, but this it in race mode. I normally train on 27c Paves glued to Ambrosio Nemesis rims.

I give up trying to post the bleeding photo!

For a summer bike, it coped well with a ride in a snowstorm yesterday

They're summer bikes and should only ever be used on dry, clean roads when the sun is shining. There are other bikes for when conditions aren't up to scratch 🙂

Last time out, on Thursday, mine spent half the ride in a snowstorm and half the ride in a monsoon. Some 'summer bike'
