Start with the bars at the
Start with the bars at the highest point – even, invert the stem – then gradually lower them over the coming weeks. That way you can get used to the new position slowly, step by step.Regarding fit, this worked for me:

This outputs three different settings depending on the style you might like. I am happy all day on the bike with their ‘Competitive Fit’.

Lube the seat where the metal stays join the plastic upper. Often squeak like a nightmare and you can’t work it out.

If you’ve tried it and you like it, get it!Agree, the Supersix is said to be terrific. Go for it!

We had that problem with the chap upstairs. He simply took away his bike until they inspected then put it back.Otherwise, keep it inside, it will be safer. Compromises have to be made… I’ve got 3 behind the sofa…

If your budget is £1200 I’d stick to alloy frames and get the best groupset and wheels you can.There are plenty of great alloy frames out there now. Canyon, Cannondale, Kinesis, Bowman, etc. See if you can try one out, that’s my other suggestion.

Its the Rules: 😉“Rule #1 // Obey the Rules.
Rule #3 // Guide the uninitiated.
No matter how good you think your reason is to knowingly breach The Rules, it is never good enough.
Rule #31 // Spare tubes, multi-tools and repair kits should be stored in jersey pockets.
If absolutely necessary, in a converted bidon in a cage on bike.”
I think the principle is, don’t spoil your bike’s beautiful lines.

Fulcrum Racing Zero £525, from a German site. Amazing value!
The latest Fulcrum Racing 5
The latest Fulcrum Racing 5 (2014) is a transformed wheelset. Stiff, reactive, not too heavy, really nice to ride. I swapped out my Shimano RS80s for these and don’t think I’ll be going back in a hurry.

I’ve got both, CTC for the insurance and social rides, and BC to support British racing cyclists. Oh, and BC gives you 12% off a well-known online bike shop.
