My Vitus Venon VR. Incredible bike and amazing value for money!
IMG_5851.JPG
I've never seen one of those before. That is a very very cool looking bike.
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.

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 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...

My one and only...

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.

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.

Here's my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc 8.0
An unassuming look but an awesome ride.
Added some subtle personal touches; Fizik Antares R1 Carbon Braided saddle, Fizik bar tape with Specialised Bar Phat Gel on the drops, 25mm Continental GP4000S II's and Look Keo Carbon Blade pedals.

Still stock Genesis Equilibrium 20. I'll be changing out the brake pads before they kill me and adding mudguards then this will be my regular commuter.

If thelighterthief wins the TDF next year, guess we'll know what choice he made

*insert boring black bike here*
Put on some 53 mm SKS Bluemels fenders, replacing my old 45 mm SKS Longboards. Overkill on 28 mm rubber, but they look pretty darn good to my eyes.
Goodbye aero... Then again, it's a Giant TCX SLR 2 and it isn't gonna be aero anyway, not with the boxy tubes it has
new to me a genesis croix de fer 30 2018 model

jony,
kindly do do one you utter plank! There's a classified section for flogging stuff.
My Cannondale CAAD12.

Mine's an Oltre XR that was Wout Poels' reserve bike when he rode for Vacansoleil DCM.
SuperRecord EPS V1, FFWD F6R tubs.
Luckily, my fit is identical to his within 1mm after changing the saddle!
Just a joy to ride ...

lucky boy, that's a very fine rig. I bought an ex continental pro teams frame that was unused a couple of years ago and built it up from there. I expect it cost you a few pennies especially with the added 'pro rider' premium, those Oltre's are fantastic frames from what I've being told.
colours aren't my cuppa but can appreciate a top frameset.
Pinnacle Arkose 3 2016 Adventure Road Bike
The pic is of the Rat after the London to Brighton off road. One thing a learnt from the ride was gravel bikes are quick on this type or ride, but also uncomfortable. My hands were hurting quite a bit at the end. These are some of my intended future upgrades for general riding and for events like the London to Brighton off road.
Future upgrades:
San Marco Regal-e (Brown)
FSA Gossamer stem – 90mm
Cinelli Gel Bar Cushion
Fizik Bar Gel Set
Cinelli cork tape (natural cork)
Carbon seat post?
I did the ride on Schwalbe Super Swans but for rides like this in the future I would probably go for a larger volume tyre, perhaps the WTB Nano 40mm, if it fits. Would anybody know if this tyre fits the Arkose 2016 fork and frame?

My 3 mths old enigma evade, which was manufactured with a wider than usual gap which enigma says it shouldn’t be an issue luckily for me my lbs managed to cnc a new dropout to accommodate the unusual gap. Thanks so much for a lemon and unwillingness to warranty a defect enigma.
