I'm sure they are nicer bikes out there - but this is my baby for the foreseeable future.

Mind me asking what size frame that is? It looks huge!

BB67, nice bike. I love the new Ultegra stuff. You must one tall soldier if that's a large frame and you've got all those stem spacers.

What are those pointy things sticking out of the handlebars and that wasps nest hanging out of your saddle ;)

It's also leaning against some sort of pedestrian training device. Most suspicious.

Congratulations on your new bike. Your house looks very dark though

If you already own it, you should post a picture of the actual bike.

Why have you used so many spacers? Does it affect the handleing at all?

It would be nice to see some bikes on here without the (sub)urban backdrop that appears increasingly common. Perhaps Images of Beauty should refer to the backdrops too?

Surely it's some sort of flatbed roller thing that inclines for hill-training.

I had assumed that it was a work in progress, waiting to be covered in green baize, Airfix diorama and then mounted at shoulder height. When linked to the turbo trainer it provides scenery as you work out.

Apparently cycling through WWI and WWII countryside can be quite invigorating!

AFAIK its for pace training, it keeps a constant speed that if you do not match results in serious injury. Far better than a your average trainer as it has the added incentive of injury/death and it is difficult, if not dangerous, to turn off once activated. Inspired bit of engineering.

I have also heard rumours that it incentives your OH to hit/hurt you once you are found on your bike, on top of the device. This has the added bonus of not only building character but prepares you for engaging in pelotons with dirty cyclists when your preparing for a tour.

Yawl got me thinking about indoor Winter training now - watch this space or your nearest A&E soon.
Bike came set up as is - getting a fitting from a local chap next week.

I thought the outside was just a rumour, a conspiracy theory started by people with no broadband

Seeing as the cross season is coming soon!

Here's my cross bike before and after a race (and one of it being ridden painfully slowly as well ..)

giant tcr built this up in 2008 for 1200 euro. ebay used to be better than the bike to work scheme but its too hard to get a good deal off it nowadays.

Lovely. Those bars are at a bit of a funny angle though. Is that comfortable?
