The Bowery does look good for the price, but the lack of a carbon fork and guard/rack mounts puts me off.
Besides, aren't these SS things meant to be steel...?
Tifosi is the in-house bike brand of RJ Chicken & Sons - probably the oldest UK bike distribution company. You can check the bikes out here http://www.chickencycles.co.uk/tifosi/ the whole range should be there, well you'd hope. There's a dealer listing on there too and you can buy them online at places like Wiggle and the like.
Couldn't find any recent reviews but I have had people review 'em the Audax and the CK7 are the two I'm familiar with - well thought out bikes. My personal view is that there a tad over-priced, but maybe I'm just tight.
Dolan (www.bikes-dolan.uk.com) and Pearson (www.pearsoncycles.co.uk) make remarkably similar (and probably not too dissimilar from the old Planet-X either...) TT frames for £525 and £599 respectively. The Guess RB2 (www.supercycles.co.uk) isn't specifically a TT frame but it position means it builds into a good TT bike, if you can find it available as a frame only. Kinesis (www.kinesisbikes.co.uk) also make a decent one - the KT-410 - which you can pick up for about £300. It doesn't come with a fork (they make their energy fork in a matching colour for about £110) or a seatpost though...
Winchester's a tad far for me.
Think I'll stick with the Bowery and buy a set of clip-on guards and a 'beam' type rack with the ££s diff..
I had a look around on the web and could not find anyone else giving a discount so I drove down and picked mine up at the Winchester branch. Nice guys and good deals.
That's a great price.
And a bit more flexible (usability) than the Bowery. I'll check who locally sells them....
until I saw this http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/products.asp?category=Bikes&product=Tri... and picked it up yesterday.
Going to use it for a bit of commuting and the local 40 min loop I usually do on my mtb
Will there be a roadie type mag similar to singletrack?
good luck with the web site etc looks good !!
moving away from fixed? not in the least... everybody's got one. some street, some track-inspired, one belt drive. there'll be more on that later.
will you be doing an article that combine my two favourite subjects?
(airplanes and treadmills)
See if you can find the Trek "District 96", and ask them the question: "Why?"...
I'm sure I'll get used to this style of posts, but is it possible to re-arrange the day/month element of the date of posting away from the current month/day format.
You could confuse a stupid person, you know.
I don't know where you mean...
Hello there, I am planning to buy a Ridley Excalibur for commuting to work and for weekend fun. It is a good choice?
Any influences from the Handbuilt shows?
is the market moving away from fixed gear?
Thanks - didn't know about the adjustable stem, I'll need to have another look at the Sirrus.
Of course I could just go for a Cyclocross bike...
Too much choice!
how long till a whats it worth?
oh by the way
this thread is useless without pictures
/Waves back & shouts hello/
great somewhere else to waste time
/waves/
Me.
I gave up on NumptyWorld after a clash with "Captain Ego"... and reading too many "What tyres for..." threads.
Anyone here who isn't on the other place too?
Probably need spacers.Ta
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.
but i reckon it needs one or two more bottle cages.
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
