Built up yesterday, quick run out this morning.

Another French frame to replace my old Look 566, ultegra 6800 for now, Di2 in the spring, Zipp 302's pictured though I've since put my Zondas on it for it for the winter too. I can't get over how responsive it feels overall, compared to to the look anyway, especially on the front.

Lovely but would look better with a vintage shiny chainset

to be fair, i don't have it anymore, but this was one of the best bikes i've owned. a raleigh strika, 1985.

Just two bikes in the fleet - both of which potentially for sale due to a relocation to the states in the new year. Drop me a PM if interested (both are medium)

Picked up the MTB to encourage me out on sh1ttier days over the winter months and have loved it. Outside of regular trips to Ticknock/Balinastoe I've have some great adventures with it - last November I cycled the Grand Canal from the basin to Tullamore.

1. Look 576 Aero - running Sram components and 3T wheels/bar/stem



2. Storck Rebel 7 - running Shimano XT and DT swiss wheels

After some spacers arrived, I've finally built up the bike to something I'm happy to display here. The more I look at this picture, I feel like the saddle is at a weird angle, its a new (to me) saddle so plenty of adjustment's still I reckon

Popped on new wheels. Those Prime wheels from the bargain alerts thread look pretty good to me!

The bars could do with being turned forward too, so the bottom of the bars are more horizontal with the ground.

Beautiful Time. Nearly picked one up s/hand last year, always a marque that I've an eye on. Looks like you could do with rotating your bars up though, and you would likely be able to drop a spacer under the stem and still be in the same position.

Cheers, yea I love riding it. Bar angle looks a bit weird in the pic alright, they're k wings so a bit of weird shape anyhows, not so tilted straight on

@letape - seems you are a Campagnolo fan alright........

To say I'm jealous is the understatement of the year.

Cheers bsb1971 - well spotted. I have never tried sram on a road bike and only had one bike with shimano - a Rocky Mountain Turbo (nice Bike - dreadful name!) with Dura-Ace back around 2000. I don’t like the look of the new 12 speed groupsets so can’t see myself changing what I have anytime soon.

magicbastarder

with the carrera and tommasini - did they arrive intact as they are, or did you put them together yourself?

I bought the carrera frame as new old stock from a bike shop in Geneva (had never been built) and the Tommasini frame used from someone on here. I had most of the parts collected over years and just needed the frames and a few other bits to complete.

Thanks.....it's a bespoke frame from Reilly Cycleworks based in Brighton UK. Reynolds 953 stainless steel tubing, Columbus minimal carbon forks sprayed to match frame. Built for comfort and it certainly is, didn't see much action last year due to illness but hopefully put a few more miles on her next year.

I thought I recognised the forks, I have the same forks on an old Peugeot.

hmm, have been to their site but despite listing 'bikes and frames' the prices seem to all be for full bikes.

not that i need to know the price of one, i'm not in the market for a bike at the moment.
