This looks bang tidy…http://www.radon-bikes.de/en/bikes/rennrad/wettkampf/vaillant/vaillant-ultegra/

Cheers all, looking good so far as I am I interested in there Spire 7 road bike or maybe there Aero bike.

Tindal11..what size did you get/how tall are you ?

Cheers all, looking good so far as I am I interested in there Spire 7 road bike or maybe there Aero bike.

I can increase the budget as i said by a few hundred and would prefer Ultegra. I think changing wheels at a later date is more or less a given.

Must say, the more i look the more difficult it gets..Lol

popped in my LBS earlier and by luck some guy had his Riblle R827 in for some work. After a quick look at it , felt a bit disappointed seeing one close up for some reason so i think it may be off my list..one down.

Both over 2 hrs away from me but may see if i can go next weekend.

Anyone got a Karbona bike!

Alot of these suggested are mail order, such as Planet X, Radon.

Ive got a friend who is starting to import Karbona stuff. Anyone got any of there stuff. He claims they are really good quality, but then he would !

Went to Cycle Surgery today but they don’t have it in store.

Can find any reviews or up to date independant info on Radon!

Radon looks good but just read that the customer service was bad and logistics cost add a few hundred quid so might make it a bit over budget. Will look into though.

I think I may be able to stretch the budget a few huhundred quid.

Some really good info here guys. Cheers for your help so far

Might pop and look at the Orbea later..

Good to hear bookwyse, What groupset and wheels you go for and what is comfort like ?

They any good igm?

How are Kuota Kharma’s rated. Just been to look at a 2nd hand Evo with China Carbon rims. Looks real nice imust admit but would it be harsh on a sportive of 60 miles + ?

Or a Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7?

By upload i presume you are referring to a PC . Im trying to purely save a route i have just this minute ridden for future use on the device. Does this mean i have to export then re-import. Can it not be named and saved on the device ?

I wasn’t really after an English lesson MikeWWW but thanks. Im trying to save a ride/route i have just finished riding. not a pre planned one.

Any Ribble owners out there?

Oh Arse…Lol. Yes title is a typo. Should be £1000 and yes new.

Alternatively, has anyone got any GPX files of nice rides starting from St Ives that they dont mind sharing?

Very nice …

That mean your local loddrik?

Cornwall..

Anyone?

No i haven’t moevd the lever or bars as i thought i would see what spacers are available first. Interesting tat you cab piggy back them.Cheers.

Bump

Its basically a Sportive….bring your road bike.

Cheers all

Dont know why so much road this year, thought last year was bad enough.

Having looked at the GPX for this year its mostly flippin roads, so stick some fast rolling rubber on.

Is a 16g cartridge enough for a 29er mtb tyre?

Looks ok http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=269&category=4

Anyone got this one?

A friend has recommend the Birzman Zacoo but its twice the price..

Did it last year for the first time. Trails were dry and really enjoyed it. However i remember think as i was riding that i bet its a mre in the wet due to being across alot of exposed farmers fields. Anyhow, im in again this year but must admit if the forecast is bad i might skip it.

ahh, training..heard about that lol. Unfortunately, due to recent flu and life getting in the way ive not done as much as i would like, hill work especially..

Will defo be scoffing flapjack etc at the feed station. Looks like Malt loaf and Fig rolls might be the way forward..cant find those individual Malt Loafs i any of my local stores as they would be ideal..
