Pictures of your Bike
So, I figured that no bicycle forum would be complete without pictures of bikes! Post your photos here, no bike will be refused: Road TT Triathlon Cyclocross MTB BMX Shixie Fixie And anything else! Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now. 
I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

Very nice. The stem looks quite futuristic for 1983. Do you know if it's original?
no it isn't fully integrated.
I brought the framset only and got a local mechanic to swap all the stuff over from my broken bike. He advised against full integration as he says it puts hours of labour onto even simple jobs.
im pretty happy with how it looks anyway - don't want to look to slick as people will expect me to go fast !
Great bike though - best carbon bike Ive owned...by some distance.
...always!
That fork bracket makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I thought the fork bracket was a brilliant idea when I first saw it, because I don't like lying the bike down. Also, Zafira B middle seats are kind of annoying because they don't lay down perfectly flat, so laying it down is a challenge. However they can slide forward, which allow me to mount it upright like in the picture with minimal wrestling to get it in!😂
I tried something similar with some timber and a pair of Delta hitches, with (unlike yourself) limited success, and so for people like myself with minimal (zero) woodworking skills, the Vergo range from Minoura is an off the shelf alternative.
I couldn't get that to work.
You are Dave Brailsford and I claim my £5...is there anything cool in the bike line you haven't got?!
I hope not.
Your setup is a lot tidier than mine, for sure! 😅
The dirt proves its used :)
Mainly what it proves is a foolish aversion to mudguards
No aversion to mudguards here. I stupidly followed the GPS and took a series of very wrong turns. Still it was a grand day out which is what it's all about I suppose.
I won this bike in a raffle from a local beer distributor just over six years ago. It's a branded version for Chicago's Goose Island Brewery, for their 312 Urban Wheat Ale. It may look like aluminium with its oval down tube, but it's a steel frame, seat post, and bar.
It is a flip-flop single speed that I run on the non-fixed side. I geared it down a little so I can climb all the local hills, and added a rear brake, toe clips, and straps. The bottle cage and pump are on a TwoFish Quick Cage Adapter, as this frame has not a single braze-on. It's a lot of fun and I've put just over
10004500 miles on it. It weighs just under 30 lb. Rear bag is a Sackville.The bike is a custom version of this $300-$400 (£225-£300) mail-order bike.
Looks like they've done a lot of other corporate branding, too. Anyone fancy an AUDI? You're automatically exempt from signalling your turns when you ride it, and other cyclists have to move out of your way.
Cannondale 2.8 Crit Frame with 105 Groupset - 11 Speed
Recently overhaul
My Spa Audax 2017 build. Ultegra, home-built wheels, running Gator Skins.
Sorry for the ungainly pose, but it decided to stand up by itself when I was doing a post ride rub down.
my 2014 Genesis Equilibrium commuter. It was originally metallic dark grey with a green and yellow stripe - I had it resprayed by Mercian; decals by Ebay.
2001 Terraliner: main transport & touring.
New winter bike! I bought this Spesh Allez Sprint Comp frame as 'new other' from a chap in St Albans in December 2020, then we locked down and it was months before I could organise to get it... Over the spring I built it up with an old Athena group I had off the commuter I no longer needed since we all started WfH, and some Pacenti rims handbuilt on nice old Campag hubs. Then we were supposed to go back to the office so I bought mudguards as a commuter, and then we didn't go back to the office after all.
Anyway, in December 2021 I signed up for the Festive 500, so I finally put the mudguards on and rode it through mud, fog, rain, fords, bridleways and tracks over the last week to complete the 500. To sum up: this has proved to be a brilliant fun bike, stiff and lively, with plenty of clearance for guards and bigger tyres, and it absolutely flies. Who said winter bikes had to be boring?
My Cannondale Synapse Neo 2 ebike.
Wouldn't be riding without it, that's for sure.
Today was a fatbike sort of day. The front tyre is studded, which makes an enormous difference on ice.
Temperature was -10 °C, and I had bare hands under the pogies.
Ribble Gravel Al, my new commuting bike for when I'm allowed back in the office. Hoping to do some light off-roading too when the weather improves.
Ribble ultra ttr
Boardman 8.9C, Ultegra R8000. Edco eight 2s that have since been swapped with the mavics that came with my ttr
Workhorse/winter bike. Carrera Vanquish. Only frames original, wheelset groupset handlebars and saddle are taken from boardman 8.9c slr and a cheap carbon post
Morning all, long time lurker on this forum, here's my S-Works Venge... photo taken before bikefit could be arranged, so saddle is a little high.
I purchased a Factor OSTRO VAM, from an official dealer in Italy.
Factor’s official distributor delivered to me a damaged frame with no CeramicSpeed bottom bracket installed arbitrarily replaced with another component.
They agreed to replace the frame but in assembling the new frameset Factor’s technician damaged the handlebar and scratched the frame.
When I claimed Factor’s service center for damage, it denied responsibility claiming that the damage on the frame had not been reported by me at the time of delivering the bike.
This is not serious on Factor’s part.
I believe that blaming customer for not having discovered a damage that has been clearly caused by the incompetence of Factor’s technicians in assembling the frame is not only unprofessional but also grossly offensive to the customer.
I filed a complaint to Factor but Factor did nothing to protect my rights.
I look forward to hearing from Factor Bikes.
Mason Definition with Campagnolo H11/Chorus/Zondas and Deda finishing kit. I bought the frame from eBay and it looked pretty sorry for itself on arrival. However, after a wash and polish, and some new inserts, it looks great. The reviews on here are accurate; it really does make you want to ride everywhere like you've just sat on a wasp. I plan to do LEJOG on it later this year, if I can find the time.
My EVO I restored this 2014 Cannondale EVO from the beat up mess it was. It looked like the previous owner threw it into the back of a truck everytime he used it. I rode it for a summer. It's currently for sale on eBay...

This is my curent 2016 Cannondale EVO... it's a Hi-Mod and restored as well...
