My latest purchase.

That's one sweet ride but the stem and spacers would have me believe an aero bike isn't the right choice

Stem and spacers will stay put until my back gets repaired TBH I'm in the process of swapping out components etc so it'l be a while before I have her out on the road. She's actually very comfortable.

You must get rid of all the spacers, flip the stem, straighten the drops and ride it shirtless and helmetless wearing only half shorts and awesome shoes.

Here is an instructional video.

With my back the way it is at the moment I reckon the former would be the better option

You're right, but in fairness, they've done a good job with the paint job.

For the week that's in it. Would love to know more about it, shame to see it like it is.

Jeez that didn't take long. 2 minutes and we have the owner tracked down. Morana ... pull the finger out!

I feel dirty just looking at that. I'd almost walk down and clean it if I new where it was

Interested to know the association with the R?s though.

Looks like York Street ...will stroll down at lunch and see if I'm right (and maybe give it a scrub!)

Nay, secure off street location, you won't happen across this on regular travels.

Finally managed to find the bar tape I needed to finish my new build. Hasn't been made in almost 20 years and couldn't find a roll of it anywhere. In the end I managed to locate two boxes of it - enough for twenty bikes! Reckon it must have been from the carrera cycling team.

you really are doing your username justice so.

Yours? Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Would look the best with the stem up and tanwall tyres.

Unfortunately not. The SuperSix & CAAD10/12 is such a classic simple frame design though. Less can be infinitely more.

Remember Trigger's broom from Only Fools and Horses? Well, here's Trigger's bike!

The only thing left from the original bike is the 6 year old frame. Even the fork is changed (under warrenty from Canyon). Bought the shifters, rear mech, and cassette to upgrade to 11 speed. Previous replacement bits and pieces carried over to this. Ideally, I'd upgrade the Tiagra 10 speed cranks but they work fine and anything newer would only be a small weight saving. I have lighter Ksyriums but the Ultegra wheels pictured are plenty good enough. Will do for another 6 years...

Ship of Theseus. Only Fools and Horses is quite high brow in it's philosophical references.
