Anyone here who isn't on the other place too?

Dave: Don't Panic!

As a very recent convert to road riding ( commuting on my MTB ) this place will get a visits from me.

Great pictures of Eurotrash.

There's some Cannondale pics in the Eurobike gallery, including their Carbon Stealth urban concept... we're back there tomorrow and we'll press them for news

The Pro Carbon SL is a great value for money carbon steed and we know that quite a few of them get shifted via Cyclescheme. It's worth bearing in mind that any purchase over £1000 on CS requires your employer to have a Consumer Credit Licence, so while the bare bike scrapes in you'll have to pay full whack for those accessories...

Stoutness-wise and position wise? well it's not sold with a weight limit AFAIK, so you should be fine for weight. Position-wise? It's built for speed, so the position is fairly low. You can raise it a bit by not cutting down the steerer when it's put together, and padding it out with a couple of spacers. Give the boys at Planet X a ring - they know their stuff and are normally more than happy to help.

Good luck with the new venture. A road version of STW - sounds good to me!!!

i'd like to hear more about eurobike fashion please.

and i'd like you to change it to "maths question" and not "math".

thanks.

Another place to bitch about taxation and bad driving. Whooppee!

Mind if I check a few things:

TT
CK
What tyres for?

hmm, this maths question at the bottom is going to become challenging at 1am after a few shandies. Good idea then!

blimey and an enforced preview, and another maths question. You've certainly got to be determined to get your points across...

just keeps on turnin'... belt drives are back again as well, and not just on the fringes... more on that in a bit. Haven't seen any Biopace yet. But it's out there somewhere

The Trek's riding position is a tad more upright so if you're wanting to get hunkered down for a TT then one of the others might suit better. The Specialized has a 4-position adjustable stem (via an asymmetric shim thing) which might be good for getting your tuck right. Otherwise, I'd budget to fit a proper adjustable stem and some tribars if you're going racing. Even if you're not (too) serious, the amount of time it'll save you makes it worth the effort...

It kind of depends what your definition of fun is, really... there's plenty of bikes out there that match your other needs. Cyclescheme's best selling bikes are mid-range commuter irons like the Specialized Sirrus Comp and the Trek 7.5FX, and for good reason - they're light, fast and versatile. If you want something a bit more heavy duty (say, if fun means a bit of rough stuff or touring) then cyclo cross bikes like the Kona Jake and Specialized Tricross) make great commuters. If your commute is over some high kerbs and down a flight of steps, then what about a Cannondale Hooligan? they're fun. Oh, but guards are out. And if you're commuting on the flat(ish) you could opt for a fixed or singlesped; the Condor Pista is a great all-round bike.

Thank you for providing yet another avenue for avoiding boredom at work.

Good luck with it all.
