    Sh*t, I see what you mean about the logo. I never copped that the font should be italic. The decals can't be removed. The bike is dead to me now. :mad:

    Makes it unique. I love it.

    Apologies for the poor picture, but this is what happens when your wife says "Taking your bike to Majorca is too much hassle, I don't care how much it costs, buy a new one and leave it there".

    Custom built Parlee Z-Zero

    (not mine by the way)

    I guess it depends on how you define beauty. It doesn’t have the wow factor, but other than the Dura Ace Di2 groupset, it is all either Parlee or Enve. Stupid money really but as he explains it, it was either that, or a Porsche.

    I’ll grab a picture of his Passoni next time I’m in London, now that really is a thing of beauty.

    You look to have decent clearance on the ridley for the CX tyres. What size have you on it there?

    Also I'm a huge fan of the tyres with the uncoloured/tan(what do even call those? old fashioned?) sidewalls on black bikes.

    EDIT: The car isn't bad either.

    I have 33 on those wheels, it can take much bigger, but my last ridley x-fire didn't have as much clearance, and it got clogged up a lot.

    Also I'm a huge fan of the tyres with the uncoloured/tan(what do even call those? old fashioned?) sidewalls on black bikes.

    They call them skin-walls, or tan-walls, but yeah, I agree, they look class, they will have to be maintained though since the cx courses are so muddy in Ireland.

    The new commuter, before I run it with raceblades.

    Ordered last week, the next day it was reduced by €300 :( Cheekily asked them over live chat if they'd honour the new price, and they did without hesitating.

    Breaking a few rules but hey, who gives a dang? Scott Addict with Dura Ace C50s and a classic Turbo saddle. My racing/training/summer bike.

    Beautiful bike but that saddle:eek:

    Lovely bike, lovely saddle, but completely and utterly mismatched.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,317 ✭✭✭✭Raam


    No one sees the saddle when you are sitting on it. Ride whatever is comfortable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,010 ✭✭✭Slideways


    The collection. Apologies for the messy garage. It’s like a magic porridge pot for crap

    I’m not one for the retro bikes, but I couldn’t turn this down. €50! It’s a Raleigh Joop Zoetemelk signature edition. My new daily commuter in Eindhoven. Few bits and pieces to do and she’ll be lovely. I’m naming her Nora.

    Best of luck with Nora. I was in Eindhoven a few weeks ago, great city, had a ball. Super cycling infrastructure (no surprise there!)
