…..road bikes.

Here’s my new (few rides old by now) Raleigh SP Comp with a nice set of RS80’s, 105/FSA Gossamer drive train & ITM Alutech finishing kit.

Whats your road bike of choice?

Mine, can’t load the photo without the password for the account. 🙄
Saw plenty of nice shiny bikes in Alf Jones this afternoon and decided that I want the 525 quid single speed Giant. All that bling is wasted on me.

i reckon mine is a bit comfier than most.

That surly does look comfy

Does anyone slam anymore??

nah, we’re all mincing XC jhey lords who like the bars nice and high on our road bikes 😆

I prefer to be comfortable.

Manky after a training ride for London to Paris

During one of the training rides, I was wearing shorts that day!

You Sir are simply the epitome of Rule 9

Yeah, bigG, going out for a ride in that? Wearing shorts was just silly, but riding on those roads is just suicidal. Top Rule #9 marks.

Calm down, Realman. It was brand new. I’ve dropped the stem since then.

Bars, STIs’ & stem sorted after pic was taken..

I’ve dropped the stem since then.

Phew. Does look nice though, although maybe needs a completely white saddle? Or seatpost? Not sure.

Should be more comfortable than the crappy alu bike I have at the moment

What’s wrong with aluminium frames?

Absolutely nowt if you have a good one, but mine’s a shit (you get what you pay for) and is harsh as when on long rides. Steel will be more comfortable and it seemed better (not to mention cheaper) to reuse the frame I had.

I love mine Wallop. Yet to take it on a long ride as I’ve had a chest infection for over a month now 🙁

Here is my baby :-

Have no problem with an ali frame, as said carbon, steel or ali the main thing is to get a good frame and good fit. Have done a fair few 100milers on it, Last Sunday just did the Phil Liggett sportive 94 miles with 2948m of climbing. Love that bike i do 🙂

I’ve not done any properly long rides, but it’s defo comfy for a 55-miler. Enjoy 8)

Further evidence of rule 9 achievement, (it it’s needed) taken on the same day as the icy roads. Front brake frozen…

Singular prototype with grumpy cat (clicky makey biggy). Sam pointed out that the bar angle was all wrong and I did fix it before the first ride!

I like that Storck.

Here’s my two, this one is 3/4Lbs lighter than my full suss
Used for general riding around and touring

and this one for racing, a little heavier but a little faster

I really like that green Trek!

Hopefully mine will look a bit like this when I get it. 🙂

Retro lovelyness. Honestly doesn’t ride as good as it looks! But form before function everytime 8)
