    Look 695 like this ....

    http://cyclingtips.com/2013/08/bikes-of-the-bunch-look-695/

    saw one propped up against a car at the Lucan GP and its as sweet in the flesh.

    It would be the 795 for me on lightweight wheels.

    Lightweight Wheels are fantastic but it would be great if they invested just a few quid in some nice branding. The horrible typography ruins the look for me.

    In my jaunt through Seoul last week, I was passed by some lovely bikes, 2 pinarellos, a bianchi and a wilier very similar to the one I've been lusting over for weeks but not had the cajones to just order!


    Ive 2 10+ year old racers (trek and wilier) with decent groupsets. Ive a lovely aravis Reynolds steel tourer with a good group and bombproof wheels. Ive a few spare wheels better than those on my bike, but until I get that bike I'll always have the envy. I'm always checking them out.

    Girlfriend thinks I'm like the third policeman and will become a bike

    i'll start getting bike envy when i reach the point that my bike is the limiting factor, rather than me.

    Same.

    But I definitely do plenty of bike appreciation.

    At this stage if I see an attractive woman on a bike even the Mrs doesn't doubt for a second that I'm looking at the bike.

    I've been on McNally Swords CC group rides where someone has an orange and black KTM but I just can place who at the moment. Probably the same bike.
