New budget racer... The bigger the logos the faster it goes, right?

2007 Trek 1.5 with a full upgrade: sram force/red, cosmic SLS.

This is my commuter/winter ride after a wash and brush up. A Raleigh 531 frame/forks from the mid 80's.  Early 105 with down tube levers and Biopace chainset, Cinelli bar & stem, Mavic  MA40s, Rolls saddle. Every year I think about having it resprayed and put on a newer group set, however, I never get round to it, and anyway I quite like the "patina" of age. Thanks for looking.

This is the replacement for my Giant, a Fairlight Strael in size 56R. It has my Hunt 4 Seasons wheel on it with 28 mm Conti Grand Prix GT tyres, my current 105 crankset and mechs and braking and shifting is via a set of Shimano 685/805 hydraulic shifters and calipers with 140 mm Disco Brakes rotors. Saddle is a Brooks B17, stem is a 120 mm Cinelli Vai (cost peanuts and fairly light and subtle) and pedals are Shimano XT SPDs. 

I'm absolutely loving it so far, it's stiff and fast with that lovely smooth but zingy feel that steel as.

My one and only...

My trusty RT58. Apart from the frameset, shifters, brakes and front mech I think I've gradually changed everything on it!

I'm going to have a hard time choosing something to replace it when I do decide to get a new bike, but that'll be a while yet...

1999 Fondtriest Spur.  Chromoly and Campy athena 8 speed.

I have built this Battaglin Moristacan to Eroica specification, full 20 speed with downtube shifters. I am importing the Battaglin Steel frames if anybody would like one contact me on 07577 745054. I have some samples which can be viewed. They are real eye candy and ride very well.

My Supersix Evo Hi mod. In full race trim, just before heading to Gran Fondo World Champs last year. 6.55 kg including pedals. Really really love this bike.

My Vitus Venon VR. Incredible bike and amazing value for money!

My daily bike, GT Grade 105 Carbon. Set up for comfort and distance with B17 saddle, Zipp service course bars and Schwalbe S-One tubeless.

thanks

Here's my BTWIN Triban 520 FB. I've done over 2500 miles on this black and red super commuter. Only changed the chain and tyres as they wore out. The saddle and seatpost were spares I had hanging about. I've added a Topeak rack and Crudcatcher 2 mudguards, and Shimano m520 pedals. The brake pads are Swisstop Blue, and they make a huge and necessary difference to the stock setup, which leaves a lot to be desired.

That's my BTwin Triban 520 FB

Here is a free game of spot the difference.

Full build thread here:  http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,1090.0.html if anyone is interested. Over 1000 trouble free miles so far and I'm quite satisfied with the build.  Just under 20 lbs and super stiff in the rear!

As the thread is here, this is what I buzz about on.
