Show Us Your Road Bikes

I have a Dolan prefissio as my winter bike, frame is a bargain, just swap old components over as I upgrade. Not having winter salts near the campag equipped summer bike
Mudguards a must have, rude not to IMHO
 
I've got an Alloy Cannodale Synapse with full mudguards. The mechanical discs were OK for about a week, so I swapped them out for hydraulic. the 105 groupset does it's job and weighing in at 11kg, it gives me a proper workout.

I was browsing my favoured bike shops website and came across it in the clearance corner. It was new, very old stock, so I got a pretty good deal. Probably because I'm a 58 too.

shimano 105 - its bomb proof :D
 
All change again...
Question: presented with a deal on this...

Brand new, unused, unwanted gift. Rim brake, right size.
Would you hit the go-button? Or continue with a winter bike, new headlights and ARB's for the van?
 
Buy the frame and put it away until the spring. Use the money you would spend on wheels, groupset etc to buy headlights and ARBs. Headlights going into winter would be of much more benefit. Then save some more money and build the bike in the spring.

Definetly buy the colnago - they are a super frame ( I've had one which was in the old MAPEI colours) - the ride and feel will be awesome on this thoroughbred stallion.
 
I had a feeling none of you would talk me out of it! Should have posted it on a suspension thread! ;)
It's the campy super record groupset it will need that scares the cr@p out of me.

i'm a shimano dura ace man myself, but yes you need to put a top end groupset on that - it deserves it :)

what wheels are you thinking ?
 
Yeah, campag all the way for this. It will be bike porn when finished.
TBH I've not got as far as thinking about wheels yet. The guy selling this says he has a rear disk but that won't work.
I could go classic tdf and put Mavic rims on it! I raced on gp4 and SSC's! They wont be too deep and budget will define whether they're carbon or not.

i must say i think that deep section wheels look much better than a shallow rim.
if campag groupset then i think the campag Bora wheels would like great.

Something like this....

Thanks mate, that's just added another grand and a half to the build and I haven't bought the frame yet! :D
 
:eek:
My racing days are over mate so could never justify that now. But awesome stuff. What are they?

yes me too, my racing days are long gone, i still do sportives and the like, i wouldn't ever use them in a race anyway, races are too sketchy for that, you only need to snap a spoke and you throw the wheels away :(, they are too good for racing on, they are just cafe and sunny rides only.

Oh, those. Cafe stop wheels!
Very nice. I've seen them out at weekends, didn't realise they were that much tho. I could never ride something like that on a sportive... Way too good!

The last sportive i did was in france and it ended with a 35km climb ( at 8% ave) i needed all the weight saving i could possibly get :laugh:
@brutall :cry:
 
W-ouch!
I got over Lofthouse on my Emonda around all the people walking up with pinarello F10's! :eek:
I'm hoping to do some Swiss climbs with a mate next season.
