Pictures of your Bike

my Salsa Chilli con Crosso

planning on racing cx this year, and a cheeky shot of it with the carbons on for a bit of road fun

My Boardman CX Team a cracking ride

I bought my GT GTR Series 3 (2010 model) from eBay in near immaculate condition due to the previous owner not using it all that much. The frame is butted hydroformed 6061 with carbon forks. The components did the job the job, but didn't really 'perform'. The ride initially felt very harsh.

I set about making upgrades, firstly a Selle Italia SLR Lady Flow saddle and Easton EC90 carbon seatpost which immediately improved the comfort. A friend at work gave me a spare handlebar from his collection which was a better fit, a Deda Elementi Big Piega, maybe not the most exciting bar, but, again, a lot more comfortable. The bike felt like it was carrying a lot of weight still and there seemed to be gaps in the 9 speed drivetrain. I'm um'd and ah'd and bit the bullet. I decided on the Shimano Ultegra 6800 groupset, more than perfect for me, only let down by the look of the chainset in my opinion (the Dura Ace version looks 'prettier'). I also got an RS81 C24 wheelset with 25mm Continental GP 4 Season tyres. I went for the C24s as I'm in the (seemingly constantly) windy North West, UK and the original 22mm deep rims were twitchy enough without going too much deeper. Overall I've shaved a good deal of weight from the bike since I've had it and got it down to 8.4kg which, although nowhere near a featherweight, really isn't too bad for an aluminium bike. (cue *grin*). Excuse the state of my flat decor. My excuse: forget decorating = more money for bike

edit: spelling

The new steed. 6.75kg, dura ace group, RS80 wheels (they'll be upgraded at some point). Fast as anything. I'm happy.

This is my trusty triban 3 with carbon forks all for less than £300, never let me down not even a puncture, hopefully adding a new carbon summer bike soon

Picked up yesterday, Cevelo S3, Cosmic SLE's, Vector pedals.

Nope, it's a custom prototype. Watch this space.

My two bikes I use a lot. the 1986 Brian rourke is a great bike and I have just upgraded the wheels to the new Mavics. The Omega I have just built up over a period of years to the latest spec but will upgrade again as soon as finances allow. I do love Campag for the durability and the build quality.

The one I only use on dry days !!!!!! this is a Merlin with titanium forks as well. It's just bad manners to use carbon forks !!!!

My only road chariot

My stable as it currently stands:
1. Cinelli Experience; used for racing. Highlights include American Classics Victory 30 wheels and Record crankset. Light, stiff and an ideal race machine for our roads
2. Cinelli Gazetta; used for everything else. This is my goto bike and is ridden daily. No significant mods, but look at it, it's lovely

New build finished, let's hope it rides as good as it looks!
Planet X RT58
Fulcrum racing 5 wheel set
Campagnolo Chorus shifters and chainset
Athena front and rear derailleurs
Centaur brakes
Miche 11spd cassette 12-29
Mix of finishing kit bontrager bars, deda zero 2 stem, 3T seatpost, charge saddle

Build weighs in at 7kg dead on with pedals, xs size as I am a short arse!

Here she is
Custom build
Full carbon
Di2
I can't get anymore carbon on it..

My AR5

My new ride (and I love it): A Felt F95.
This was taken just after I took delivery of it and I had put it together and before setting it up properly - the saddle has come down a couple of inches. For the price I paid for it (£399 new from Wiggle) I could not be more pleased.

My Villager Criterion, bought 2nd hand a few years ago from a random shop in Switzerland!

My planet X RT58. She look great and rides like a dream.

Heres my baby fitted with fulcrum racing 5's shod with conti's gp4000s and it has a san marco saddle

My trusty Trek 1000 with Campagnolo Mirage components and Campagnolo Vento wheels. It still meets all my needs.

Hi there, first time on this forum... So here's my bike!

mine now in it's summer guise ... add
some tasty wheels (Royce and Ambrosio), lose
the guards and presto ..

Cheers Gareth, not super fussed about weight, but sounds great.

My Cervelo R5 the day i picked it up back in the late summer of 2011.

SRAM Red Black edition groupset, Rotor 3D+ crank with Q-rings, Fizik Antares (now an Arione CX Carbon rail) and Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubs with Vittoria Evo CX 23mm tyres. Weight: 6.6kg - not bad for a size 58, pedals on.

Now runs Reynolds Attack carbon clinchers and 25mm tyres for practicality (Zipps for sale in the classified ads if anyone interested)

Rides like a dream.
