Sam both your bikes are beautiful! Tell me some m ore about them?

The first one is a Singular Peregrine – repainted recently.

The Second is a prototype Singular Osprey. This one actually is my Dad's, but I have one as well.

bob-summers – please tell me more about the Pegoretti. Responsorium is calling me…

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!

Powder coated 853 Poprad.

My 'real' mountain bike…

I really like this shot for 'inspiration'

Oh,that reminds me redted,loved the look of your OHs DH bike.[Thinnking about it]Neil.

ignore

I don't know much about road bikes, but love the look of all the LeMond frames.

Been trying to see where I can buy them but it seems they don't make them anymore? 🙁

Really sorry bud, It's been sold, It's in the french Alps now, so It's got a nice home.

Blimey Doctor, how tall are you?

So you guys who are SS on road, do you find you spin out a lot or is it ok if you have a hard enough gear?

_tom_ that's a very good question! Most of the bikes I really love are SS but trying to decide whether I can cope with SS on the road, fixie is out of the question

Mmmmmm that Holdsworth.

nice looking Pegoretti marcelo, i met Dario a couple of weeks ago at the premiere of the short film made about him (very little about bikes, lots of swearing/arm waving/drinking)
my duende, never got round to taking pics of it built up.

My Ritchey! A bit more cross than road! Tis almost the season!
Thanx Max

And my Isla

So you guys who are SS on road, do you find you spin out a lot or is it ok if you have a hard enough gear?

Depends on the gear. And the rider.

My pompino, which I do a bit of road riding on (in between offroad stuff), has 44:16 on it. That's great on the road with some big fat tyres on it. It's a bit tricky down hills mind. It's a monster up offroad climbs though.

If your journey is pretty much flat, you just keep at a constant, comfortable speed and cruise. If you're going up and down loads of hills you wouldn't be riding SS now would you 🙄

Never mind…I'm going cycling…will post pic later.

If you're going up and down loads of hills you wouldn't be riding SS now would you

um yeah actually

Blimey Doctor, how tall are you?

Only 186cm tall. The bike looks big in the pic but it was properly sized for me with a full bike fit!

With drops

With risers

Now with black tyres and a lower front end. Campy chorus carbon 10 speed, Bonty wheels and cockpit, godawful Look seatpost that can't hold a saddle for toffee. Weight is 8kg/17.5lbs.

I've got it the wrong way round- my fixie is alu (I use it for a flat commute and don't spin out).

Also, my old fixie.

Le Jeune, french, custom built for a triathlete, cost me AU$180 (£75 at the time), converted to fixed.

My On-One Il Pompino

In flight:

Standing still:

If you're going up and down loads of hills you wouldn't be riding SS now would you

riding 48:18 on the road, its a big enough gear to be able to accelerate with the traffic in town and just about small enough to just get up the hills i need to.
That said i dont commute fixed because the hills are too steep to get down!
