I'm going to sell off my Experience at some point - this bike was exactly what I was going for!!! Have you raced it at all?
My lovely Cinelli Gazetta. It's had a facelift since last appearance here; new handbuilt wheels (mavic open sport rims, hope hubs), new forks (Columbus Tusk light), new stem & seat post. It makes an already enjoyable bike more fast and comfortable.

Here is my current only bike, a Halfords Carrera Crossfire 2 Hybrid bike, a moderate bike for my introduction to cycling again at the age of 39, leaving me looking for a faster better lighter bike!!! It is modelled with a pint of Kronenbourg as this is the perfect cycling refreshment!

That is the best idea behind a paint job. Ever. Fact.
Wow, that is something else. Can't believe you race it though, if it got scratched I'd cry. In fact, I'd cry if yours got scratched, I'd beheartbroken if it was mine! Any chance of some more close ups of the paintwork?
Stunning, enjoy it.
Nice looking bike mate!
What wheels are you riding? They look awesome
My best bike, a Pegoretti Mxxxxxo I've nicknamed Il Super Laterale.
The paint is custom; I asked Dario to listen to Soundgarden's Superunknown album and Tool's Lateralus, then paint whatever he wanted.
He also added a question to the chainstay. What does an Aussie do in Seattle? Good question.
The groupset is Super Record, with 3T components. Wheels are custom; DT240s laced to Easton SLX90 rims with FMB Competition tubulars.
By some margin this is the best bike I've ridden. It goes as good as it looks; I've podiumed several races. Steel is very much real.

Thanks for the opportunity to post!
The summer ride. 1999 Competition AD10 paint and Gilco Columbus tubing. record ti gruppo. The shamal 12 spoke HPW is very rare so I collected a pair of '96 Atlanta Shamals but just mounted up a Fulcrum racing 5 set for training.

Meet Ruby, my beautiful Giant Bowery 72, 2009 model. She's light as a Malteser and the saddle is more comfy than my sofa!

Here is my beloved Bianchi Sempre Pro Ultegra
I have recently upgraded the cockpit to all Fizik cyrano R1 and R3 mix. Ride has always been amazing.
Handlebars - Fizik cyrano R3 42mm chameleon
Stem - Fizik Cyrano R1 90mm 9°
Seatpost - Fizik Cyrano R1
Saddle - Anteres R3 carbon braided rail
Wheels - Veltec Speed 6.0 tubular 1310g
Groupset - Ultegra 53/39 front 11-25 rear (soon to be Sram Red 11)
Brakes are still original Reparto Corse but will change when I get the Sram.

Thanks for the tip Michael. I have been bike fitted so the stem & handlebars I will leave as is but Yes maybe the saddle has crept forward since my fitting. I will double check with the bike fitter.
thanks for being so observant.

Love the name 'Skunk'!
My Commuter/recently pressed into L'Eroica service '70s Hirondelle.
Love the steel so much I sold my aluminium framed lapierre to afford the next n+1.
Edit: now accompanied by said n+1. My first scratch build.
Roberts XCR frame with a bit of bling
11spd chorus groupset
Ritchey classic stem and bars
Thompson seatpost (ritchey don't do a bloomin 30.6)
Campag vento wheels - budget for now but any suggestions for upgrades appreciated.

Hi there, new here. I have been cycling for just short of 2 years and have managed to get 2 great bikes. The Cube Attempt is my first bike but has now been relegated to being my winter bike.
The Cube Litening Super HPC Pro is my summer bike which i picked up in September. I can't wait to get a full summer on this machine.
2013 was a cracking year, 7500 miles. Looking forward to topping that in 2014.
Edit: Well i never did get that full summer on the Cube Litening. I crashed into a club mate at 27 mph after he came down in front of me. Huge damage to the top tube resulted in it getting written off.
Insurance payout completed and some research in to the best deals out there at the moment. I am now the very proud owner (and first time builder) of a Scott Foil HMX Team with Ultegra 6870 Di2. Now this is a serious machine!
N+1 today now makes 3 bikes in my flat with one to go soon.
Forme Calver Sport CX on C2W. Over budget but the original option of Merida Cyclo Cross 4 was too long for delivery so opted for this one 10 days ago.
There is still a rack to fit but not in stock at the LBS yet but I've got the bike to play with for a few days and tweak the set up. The refelctors and bell 'fell off' as soon as the bike came in through the door and the pedals will change to XT SPDs and some helicopter tape will be applied to the headtube at the weekend.
