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.

Sweet wheels man!
How do you rate the Reynolds Attack? I ride an R3 and am looking to upgrade to Reynolds Attack wheels.. Any feedback appreciated.
thanks Edd23!
Newbie here - although I've been lurking a while.
Old and new side by side. I've got plans to repaint and upgrade the falcon on the right.

Hi All
First time poster here, I thought this is as good a thread as any to get my feet wet!
My 3 main bikes are here. As you can see i'm a Boardman fan (also have an MTB HT Pro). I use power for training on the road and TT bikes... can't bring myself to spend more on a power meter for the single speed than the rest of the bike cost!

Here's my Felt AR5 2014. So far I've only upgraded the wheels (reynolds strike 66mm) the group set and brakes are 105 which easily do the job for the time being.

Just joined - first post
Here's my 'green machine' Felt AR5 2011. Notable upgrades are Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres, 140mm -17deg 3T Arx Pro Stem, Speedplay pedals and Fizik Arione saddle, all of which I recommend! Fairly aggressive, pro-looking position but no comfort issues at all thankfully.
Bought it in mint condition a couple of months ago and it's already bagged its share of fast rides and Strava KOMs! I was a firm disbeliever in marginal aero gains on road bikes but ever since upgrading from an old aluminium Trek 1.2 and starting to wear a Castelli Speedsuit on regular rides, I've felt an advantage too big to ever be a placebo effect...

You could put any bike with that scenery in the background and it would be beautiful! Great looking bike though

HMS Bridgestone. Her special talent is triggering inductive loop traffic signals.

Thought I'd chip in with my Wilier Izoard.
105 Groupset
Swiss side Franc wheelset
Adding the wheels & the Tri bars has helped me cut my 10 mile TT down by 1m 40 secs on last years time.

I realise position is a very individual thing (ie comfort and saddle tilt-related issues) but it seems that your saddle is quite far back for a TT position, no? It closes the hip angle and reduces the power you can put down, sort-of handicapping your main power-generating muscles. Also, if you have no flexibility issues, you can really benefit from a lower or more stretched-out position on the front end, provided elbows are not too far off 90deg. Basically, there are mountains of 'free speed' to be gained by experimenting with position. Yours might already be optimal for you, I'm not a bike fitter, but just suggesting shifting saddle forward and dropping the stem lower if you haven't tried it already.
