Road Bikes / Race Bikes / Pro Bikes thread.

NBD for me. Well...last weekend but took it for its first race that day too:

What's the logic behind those seat toppers? They look rubbish, even worse when colour matched.

vertical compliance and light weight is what Trek says .. I've never had any issues with mine.

Thats smart!

I've been meaning to come and race road bikes at Redbridge ever since the last Thundercrit but not gotten round to it yet. It looks much more fun than your average circuit

Volare 931?

Volare 931?

Yup.

Good circuit. Safer riding due to speed of the course plus field numbers are generally lower than the crash fest that is the velopark. The hill proper hurts though ;)

.

Yeah I can imagine, the hill is what makes it look exciting!

perfection minus the seatpost .. also compact bars?!

whats wrong with the seatpost or compact bars?

As that is Boonen's last Paris Roubaix bike, I shouldn't imagine he would give a flying fuck about our comments on his choice of seatpin or bars, I would think by now he would know what he wants and fits him....

Just a bit odd .. you hardly ever see compact bars on pro bikes and unless they have a finishing kit sponsor (also de branded zipper stem) seat post is part of the whole s works tarmac package .. lovely bike nonetheless. Is it boonen's?

It's his RVV bike, for Roubaix he had the "future shock" one..

surprised that kibosh thing hasnt made it here yet

Love this

Rubinos?

Pro Control's decent, hard wearing training tyres. You mean you don't own some Dura Ace C40's as training wheels?

But this is the road race bike thread, not the road race bike with training wheels thread.
