'08 Cannondale Super Six (Ultergra SL)
No I can't I'm sorry it's had a hard season and needs some TLC before it goes on public view again. Just one more event then it's going to beddy Bys until the 2010 season starts.
Just built this up...
[img] 
[/img]
What you think?
Nice!
What is it?
Obviously it now has headset spacers... Cervelo Soloist with mostly Campag Centaur

Unbranded Carbon Frame From China...
Made friends with a guy out there via skype and got it for a super super cheap price..
Seen as you obviously ride road, i am thinking of getting a few more,, building them up and then selling them on. You reckon there is a market for that?
Cheers
Josh..
I've really no idea but, If the price is right you never know...
Just ordered one of these today. Looking forward to riding it:

Sort of reminds me of a beetle for some reason.
How much for the carbon frames?

TCR Advanced 3 upgraded to 7800 dura ace group set.
yes i know the shifters are in a stupid position,the pic was taken before it was fully set-up
Some nice looking bikes there.
Here's mine (haven't actually taken a pic of mine yet)

unlike you lot it I've stuck a pair of XT SPDs on it rather than go roadie clipless, the missus wasn't best pleased when I told her a £ 1k bike didn't come with pedals, new shoes as well might have pushed her over the edge.

Had I not ordered the wrong ****in' front mech, this would have had its first run out this afternoon...

Used as a commuter at the moment.

Its had one or 2 "tweaks" since this was taken..
Its getting stripped down and put away for the winter soon..
Time to get out the Ribble..
It didn't go down well on the blingiest bike thread (can't imagine why 😆 ) but here's my commuter:

everyone knows mudguards are the new dry arse 😉
[IMG]

oooh - it's grown a rack!
A long way from home (about 100 miles in fact, Chichester)
[img] 
[/img]
A long way form home (60miles) very early in th morning after spending the night bivying.
[img] 
[/img]
The same path with a much longer/less realistic exposure
[img] 
[/img]
Built this up a few weeks ago...
[img] 
[/img]
Changed the saddle and bars, now looks like this...

Here's my summer steed - old picture as it now runs 40mm deep aero wheels in black (looks superb)

I like those wheels, but the clincher ones are so heavy, I had some Aeolus 5.0 full carbon clinchers at 1600g and whilst they flew on the flat they were a really bugger on the climbs, put me off weighty deep section rims!
Mine a couple of years ago:
[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=ycdy7b&outx=800&quality=70 [/img]
The XXX Lite wheels are no more, tubs were a faff for normal riding, has a carbon stem and white Toupe saddle.
Go on then. There's some proper old skewl mavic cosmics on there...circa 96! Still pretty fast wheels tbh.
[img] 
[/img]
Who's got that Ghisallo with the Boras on. That is the best looking road bike I've ever see tbh.
[img] 
[/img]
Now mountain bikers don't even say hello on my commute! 🙂
It's my Specialized Globe Elite with 8 speed hub gears...Its nice and I like it.

It's currently sporting crud roadracer 'guards but I'll have a winter hack built up by the weekend all being well.

Now sports a proper saddle

And the winter bike.
Here's my Planet X SL Pro Carbon. [url= http://www.bikesr4riding.com/2009/09/05/images-and-review-planet-x-sl-pro-carbon/ ]More detailed pics and a mini review here[/url].

Mine is the nicest 😉

those Condors are 2 a penny (i have one to commute on)
here is my Pegoretti Duende

the 105 chainset got snapped and has been replaced with Ultegra, likewise pretty much everything now, it has new wheels now too. Bontrager blows because those spokes are almost un-gettable anywhere so as soon as you snap one you need new wheels. And the wheels came with alloy nipples, yeah, that's a great idea. Corrosion city.
Anyway, I like it but want a competely new road bike after looking at some of the bikes here. Mine gets ragged solid at the moment.
oh, and MTB_idle, your bike is too small I'm afraid.
Who's got that Ghisallo with the Boras on. That is the best looking road bike I've ever see tbh.
I wouldn't go that far, but it's a very nice bike certainly.
Forget who's it is though!
"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:

Meraks wilier takes it so far

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......... 😳
[img] 
[/img]
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.
[img] 
[/img]
Yep, look at all the identical carbon frames out there...
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Identical in every way!
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
[img] 
[/img]
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.
[img] 
[/img]
The nice one and the new "winter bike" (sorry it's in the wrong gear)
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
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...
[img] 
[/img]
First ever roadie
oddjob: it depresses me that your winter bike is my main bike :'(
Here's mine........ currently for sale 🙁
[img] 
[/img]
This bike always seems to hurt me when I ride it !
[img] 
[/img]
I always wanted one of these but when I got it it was the worst bike i have ever had ! 😳
[img] 
[/img]
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.

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
[img] 
[/img]
Newer one, now running some lighter aero wheels & Ultegra C-set
[img] 
[/img]
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= http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/3845817887_d8de6edce3.jp g" target="_blank">
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) 😀
[img] 
[/img]
And then there's my new winter frame to be built up soon, train heavy race light etc 😆
