*cough* Can i get campy's for my bike then?

[joe_m]

there "look".
so a good make.
but i will just swap the ones of my old bike.
clip on ones.
i have the shoes and stuff so no point in buying all new, when it comes to winter i will wang them back on my winter bike.

did about . . . 20 miles earlyer, it runs well, apart for it doesn't like going to the 2nd speed.
so tighten the cable.
5 years of building bmx's and fixies and mtb's all fit to gether just about to apply to road bikes.

but yeah, im really happy with it.

and thanks for the advice nurseholliday. i love the 2nd ones.
i might invest.
where can i get them from.

i just controdicted myself there. i said i will swap off my old bike. . . oh well. haha!

Oh dear, this has gone totally off topic

I've just fitted campag mirage to the training bike, for how 'low end' it is in the grand scheme of things it works really well considering. Not much point spending 2k on a groupset when its going to be out in nasty conditions and used on the turbo trainer.

On that note, my new turbo trainer should be here by the end of this week! YAY!!! Got me one of those Tacx I-Magic jobbies, i am well looking forward to it.

[joe_m]

biggest ride on it? . . . .shops and back?


the tassles on the bars . . . ? is that just one of your breaking devices. like a parashoot but light waight

[HARBER07]

Yeahhh boyy!! Better than discs!

I've not had a go on a turbo trainer, I really want to try one. I've been tempted to try at Rollapaluza but I don't want to make a fool of myself

I finally joined my local club last week. Its good, as the weekly clubhouse (that they own!!) meet is right after my shift at my p/t job, right round the corner! Turns out I know some of the people there anyway, from selling them their bikes.... Got some great looks at my bike now. I built it to look a bit rough, with no graphics on the frame and just a satin black finish. People keep walking past it, then having a double-take and noticing the duraace!!!

[THE ANORAK]

well for those that posted sensible photos.... nice bikes everyone
