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.

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

Building this bike during pandemic, hard to procure parts, but finally able to build after 6 months
So new I haven't ridden it yet, Boardman ADV 9.0
My new 4 seasons bike. It's so bright that people talk to me unapproached...in London!
Other than cutting help cutting the stem, first time I assembled a bike myself. All pieces therefore just how I want them.
Giant Allegre, frame from early 90s. Near Granada, Spain.
My forever steed. I built this at Reilly cycleworks in 2018 under the instruction from Jon "Chickens" from Chickens Frame Emporium http://www.chickensframeemporium.co.uk/
Columbus Spirit HSS tubing throughout, filet brazed with lugs for the BB and rear dropouts, carbon fork and seat stem. Powdercoated frame. Currently running Shimano 105 but will be upgraded to some decent Campag when funds allow. Weighs in at 7.4 Kg as finished
Reilly spectre. I'm happy.
CGR Ti getting me through the winter nicely. Added some pdw mudguards and some dt swiss wheels as it's mostly used on the road at the moment.
Reilly Spectre, my new favourite thing.
Something odd is going on, as this seems unlikely.
New ride!
1st time post, turned this up for £180. Reynolds 653, Campag groupset, Mavic wheels. Supper happy 😄. Anyone know much about 653, haven't had a chance to get it out yet
Started cycling just over a year ago on a Boardman ADV gravel bike and got completely hooked. I found I ride almost exclusively on tarmac and have finally got around to upgrading to this Cervelo Caledonia.
Had a hankering for steel again and couldn't resist this Thorn Audax frameset on eBay. I shifted the Claris groupset over from my cheap aluminium commuter. Claris is ace! And cheap to run. 46-33 Chainrings from Spa Cycles so I can stay longer in the big ring and feel like a Belgian. Pump pegs! I can carry a big pump! I've noticed more people smiling as I ride by and remember I'm a 45 year old man on a pink bike.
Winter wheels...
Updated 22 Mar 2022.
Latest addition to the stable. Dolan ADX Ti with Shimano 105 R7020 disc grupo. Came with Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST wheelset with Yksion Pro 25mm which are set up as tubeless.
The wrong colour of bar tape was fitted by Dolan, but on contact, they sent out the correct one, which has now been updated (Feb 2022).
Also swapped Selle Italia X1 saddle for a Fizik Arione R5...which I have on two other bikes and works for me.
I have fitted a set of Winspace (Lún) Hyper 50mm DB, which I was lucky enough to have won in a GCN competition, and the prize was shipped out with the help of Joe Whittingham (ChinaCycling channel on Youtube).
I've not had the pleasure of testing out the bike with the new wheels - as of 9th Feb 2022, I sustained a snapped achilles tendon in my left leg...'moshing' at an Echo & the Bunnymen concert in Dublin. I had surgery on 11th Feb, and have been in a plastic boot for recovery since then (currently 22 March 2022).
So my lockdown project is finally complete today.
It's a 2015 Genesis Volare 953 stainless, ex-team frame, with DA 9000 Di2 throughout. Zipp SL80 trad bend bars, Deda superleggero stem and seatpost. Campag wheels which I had already. It's amazingly smooth like all steel frames, but also light at 7.65kg as pictured. Seems quite a stiff platform too, if not as immediately reactive as a top level carbon frame. I aways said I would never get into electronic shifting, but then the frame came with a complete Di2 wiring harness, so I've dived in. So far so good.
2023 update: 3 years later, and it's my best bike for big faster miles, here on a 100 miler round North Norfolk and down to Ely this summer.
For the purposes for the road.cc forum its generally the Giant, sorta humble, middle of the road and I like it a lot.
I've got the same. It's a bliss to drop the bike and observe that colour all day.
For the record, it's a 2012 Charge Juicer Hi. That picture is three years old, but it's still going strong. In February this year I upgraded from old 105 to new 105.
That's a photo worthy of Gregory Crewdson! Chapeau!
Have you ridden it yet and, if so, how do you like it so far?
What's in like? Although I'm not really in the market of a new bike, the idea of a (relaively) affordable ti bike is very tempting - so I'm tempted by both the CGR or the Endurance Ti.
I've been commuting all week on it, 13km each way on North Surrey/South London's crappy roads. I'm very pleased with it, seems more comfortable than my alloy CX bike but that might just be the slightly fatter tyres. Gravelking SKs make a very entertaining noise on tarmac.
I've had it just over a year and so far it's been great. Never had a dedicated winter/bad weather bike before. I originally got it for my commute too which involves a rough towpath. The mavic wheels and 40mm tyres made it comfy but sluggish. Putting some 28mm tyres and lighter wheels had made it much more snappy and fun to ride. If I had the choice again I'd probably go for the endurance ti as commuting is no longer a factor as I'll be working from home for the foreseeable. That being said if you do want something that will allow some light off road action and decent road performance get the cgr. Annoyingly they released the new frame a month after I got mine. Hope that helps.
It does - thanks.
My bike for flattish roads ... lots of fun !
A SuperSix Evo with Tiagra bought for £760, added Kronostock 60/90 wheels then replaced many bits with sale Ultegra, Campy UT, Zipp parts. 7.6kg as shown.

J.Laverack Ti Di2 Ultegra with æra dynamo 56mm wheelset.
Love it!

Another £100 EBay purchase.
Loverly Reynolds 531 competition frame set with practically unused Xero wheels.
Converted it to a single speed for the moment running a 65 inch gear.
Gorgeous ride quality, sub 8kg.

Better pic, lovely build Halx
I'm not sure if I've posted this bike.
I like it. Double butted chromoly, weighed at 10.56kg, front weight bias, light 7 speed rear end.
I'm trying to find my drill.
I bought $20(Australian) lay bars, removed the stands and will get a better purchase fastening directly through cross bar. The lay bars are concave around bolt holes to suit an easy install. Fasteners (2 longer bolts +shaped washers less than $5Australian)
Cost of bike with bright usb rechargeable lights front/rear on useable GP4000 Continental tyres: $100(Australian)
Eg all up, less than 70 quid.
2 cm shorter than my others but agile on the drops and laybars should ease the straights. 1 happy cyclist.
