Post images of beauty (quote pics sparingly) - see Mod warnings in OP

uberwolf · 2004-02-02 15:15:06

Seeing as the after hours lads have been drooling over their own concepts of beauty thought occured that the cyclists could post images of their equipment.

I think it's 7.287kgs but that was with a scales that you hang it from and it reads in pounds. I'll check it on a digital scale soon but 7.3 will do for now!

Nice weight, considering those cosmics are relatively heavy! What size is the frame? Campag chorus?

I have been dieting lately. Nice of you to notice!

The saddle and finishing kit are all carbon so some good weight saving there.

I just bought this feather weight beauty today - its second hand but practically brand new as it was never used much and I got it for much less than the asking price.
One question though I am always confused by the height of the saddle relationship with the height of the handlebars - is there a right way to have this?

I will still use my old crock to go to the beach and for other jobs - the racer is for my 40 mile + cycles.

Saddle height is usually set based on knee angle at the bottom of the stroke:

Handlebar height is set based on required balance between comfort, power and aerodynamics. Core strength and flexibility are factors.

In order for them to appear as 'embeddeed' images, you need to host them somewhere on the internet (imageshack etc) and then provide a link on your boards post to that site. Follow this advice http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/faq.php?faq=bie_faq_how#faq_bie_faq_how_images

No you don't. Attach the file. Then open it in a new tab. Copy the URL. Go back to your post. Click in the box where you want it to appear. click the thing that looks like a picture / stamp above the box and paste the URL there.

lovely bike knelson. Best of luck with it. Just wondering why you have a campag crankset with shimano. It does look a lot nicer than the current dura ace.

Thanks for the kind comments. .
I have a Fast Forward SLK Carbon crankset from my Foucus BB30 frame, but the Cervelo doesn't take a BB30 crankset so I had to find a new one. I'm with you, I dont like to look of the Dura Ace and its much heavier than any of the Carbon cranks out there. This Record one was available (Brand New) for just €150 so I couldn't say no. I think it looks great on the frame.
