    Thanks

    My two ladies during a house clean. One day when I have Italian wheels, carbon seat post and forks...and a good dose of T-cut the Tifosi will be crashing the Images of Beauty thread.

    Edit: apologies for the bumbag. It was justified at the time, honest.

    Not exactly a fleet [yet!] but my recently serviced 2012 Trek 3500 with the new kitten sneaking up behind. Not half as elegant as most others on the thread but I've always liked the coincidental near-perfect match with the green boards kit.

    Planning by the end of the year to add a racer, possibly a Trek 1.1 series - but I'm not expecting the choosing process to be easy.

    Special thanks to Alek for the use of his big strong tool and his tight bottom....bracket.

    Ridley Eos 1008A. Bought in 2011 to use for cross training to support my running habit. This year cycling has taken over. I upgraded the cassette to 11-28 after struggling on my first climb up Mt Leinster. Sorry about the rule violations!

    Will probably upgrade to a full carbon in a couple of years but I really like this bike.

    New addition to my fleet.
    Santa Cruz V10 Carbon 2011 DH bike:
    SantaCruz_V10_noExif.jpg
    Very nice 10" rear / 8" front bike, very fast and very dependable. More bike than I can currently ride, but I'm getting there

    Don't remember if I put my "XC" bike up here either that I've had for a few years..
    Giant Reign X1 2009
    Giant_Reign_X1_noExif.jpg
    Built strong and heavy, just like myself.

    Latest addition to the fleet, a Planet X Nanolight with SRAM Rival 22. The dedicated racing and good weather bike. Size small, weighs in at exactly 8kg with all stock components.

    not mine, but I got one just like it. This will be my 'throw it in the belly of the bus' bike.

    Two bikes in the fleet; A (pre-Trek corporate buy-out) Klein Custom Attitude Race and an Orange Prestige. Alas the orange is at home in Ireland so no pictures of it; old school livery of black with orange decals.

    I've just put Candy 2 spds on it, and not had a chance to take a decent "profile" photo if you will so here's a couple of photos; one to show the pedals, the other to show the colour of the pedals with the frame paintscheme.

    My new steed (aka the LAST bike I will ever buy :D)
    I replaced the stock wheels & saddle with Veloflex shod Ksyriums and a Specialized Toupe.
    The 11spd 105 has exceeded my expectations, buttery smooth with very fast shifting.

  • Registered Users Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Gallant_JJ


    Finished building my new stead this weekend. First TT bike, an new chainset would finish it nicely, happy with it none the less.

    Sorry to be a killjoy but this is the no chat picture thread, as it says in the OP. If you want to post your bike and talk about it, you can stick it in the images of beauty one as well or instead.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,458 ✭✭✭lennymc


    it's been at least 2 weeks since I last bought a bike, but i put an end to that as I picked this up today. Surprisingly comfy and really looking forward to racing it.

    Ribble R872 with Athena11. Newest addition to the fleet. Commuter/trainer/bad weather racer. I'll take some better pictures of it over the weekend if there's sunshine!

    Just finished rebuilding the Specialized last night and only picked up the Felt a couple weeks ago. I'm now an official cyclist :)

    I've been after a C50 for a few months a tracked down a nice one to the UK some weeks ago. After shipping delays and a few days to sort some bits, I built it up over the weekend. Grouppo is a mix of Campagnolo 11 speed Chorus and Record, carbon throughout. Fully built is just a shade under 7.7kg, no weight-weenie but pretty good without trying too hard. All parts are light-use second hard except for bar-tape, chain and cables. Considering the frame design is 10 years old at this stage the C50 looks pretty damn good though I've yet to give her a decent spin as I've been hectic in work since the w/e, so the real test comes when I get to wring her neck ..... :)

    Thanks to @countrykid for his guidance and advice at various stages (and supply of some parts too....)
