Show us your road bikes….

"Cheap" frame, expensive groupset 🙂

Just got it in time for the inevitable end of summer. Trying to make the most of it while I can, but the Pompino's on standby for the first drop of rain. Here's me gurning like a muppet after hitting 50mph down the Lecht last week:

Love the Condors, not one Kuota yet?

2 week old Giant Defy 3

Built this up last week….just in time for the end of season. Oh well.

My latest "family" addition ….

Meraks wilier takes it so far

another 1.5

Here's my 'nice' one, although it has it's sheite training wheels on in this shot, now with zipps. Old fashioned groupset thou, only go's up to 10, oh the shame……… 😳

eh rocketdog – cheeky monkey mine's a 1.9 🙂

Ok, so it's scarily stock at the mo ………..

Have to agree with you on the Willier though …. nice 🙂

willier? they are no different from all those other mass produced plastic bikes. if you covered up the massive decals these bikes have you wouldn't be able to tell one plastic bike from another 🙂

i like the black stealth bike up there.

Having had/got a few carbon bikes i'm not sure/know that that is just not true, the day BH manages to make a plastic bike that isn't made out of super noodles i'll eat my plastic hat.

i was commenting more on looks.
just don't lean a plastic up against a hot radiator as they warp and ride funny if you do

Heres mine a couple of different bits now but still black.

Yep, look at all the identical carbon frames out there…

Identical in every way!

Bit more basic than some on here but a great little ride.

Way!!! Another 'velo!

I have my eye on a 2010 Cervelo S1 but with 6700 Ultegra.

The nice one and the new "winter bike" (sorry it's in the wrong gear)

I really want a Pinarello Prince, in that colour too. Still, £3300 for a frame…

I like that picture of your genesis by the way Mark, I sense that few people on here will get the reference…

First ever roadie

oddjob: it depresses me that your winter bike is my main bike :'(

Here's mine…….. currently for sale 🙁

This bike always seems to hurt me when I ride it !

I always wanted one of these but when I got it it was the worst bike i have ever had ! 😳

GaryLake – I just got the frame from R&A in New York mail order and built it up with the group set fgrom my old road bike. I know it is overkill for the winter, but so is the R3SL for me!
The R3 is fantastic and puts a big smile on my face every single time I ride it.

Steerer now cut

I think there are more than you realise, don't think Dullan logs on here though? Can you imagine the carnage!!!

Old one (now a fixie) sorry its in the wrong gear

Newer one, now running some lighter aero wheels & Ultegra C-set

OK so the next 2 are not road bikes in the true sense but I did ride one on the road a lot in France this summer & the other I ride to work on the road 😉

Don't have any pics of mine, but it's the same as this with a black Selle San Marco saddle fitted.
I reckon mine's the ugliest so far 🙂

some v nice bikes here..

why is it 'snaps' says we're not allowed to post Q's or things re: road bikes again?

This thread started well with that Cannondale, went rapidly downhill 'til we got to the Pegoretti (but Shimano FFS!), & with one or two exceptions hasn't really recovered.

Are you lot blind? 🙂

my new 'cafe bike'. An insurance replacement frame for my old cinelli that i dropped a kayak on ooops! 😥

Yet another Planet X cheapo deal (one of the C18 offer bikes):

[/url]

Since "upgraded" with an FSA carbon seat post and Conti GP 4 Season rubber.

John – you don't like Cervélo? I'm hurt!

oddjob, how long is your seatpost? i had to bin mine it was way too short for me to get the right leg length and still be safe. I don't know what they were thinking when they spec'd a 280 on mine 🙄 my frame is a a 56.

what's the point in having a custom road bike if using campag means you have to roll your hands off the bars to change gear (getting shimano at less than trade has something to do with it too 🙂 ) some people get on with campag, i prefer shimano.

that cinelli is nice but generic off the peg stuff isn't going to stir anyone's loins.

I have the standard seatpost that came with the frame on both the soloist and the R3SL. Both plenty long enough (actually I should check the soloist)
Both frames are 61cm so I guess they allow for us tall people.

My new ride now with just over 100 miles on it (but with carbon ti Keos on now and a matching carbon cages) 😀

And then there's my new winter frame to be built up soon, train heavy race light etc 😆
