New country, new bikes!

So I've moved to Melbourne and had to sell most of my bikes back home. Now starting all from scratch with the exception of my trusty Ti CX bike.

Road
I'm going to build a Canyon Aeroad CF SLX with a mixed Ultegra/Dura-Ace groupset, the new Mavic Cosmic Pro Sl wheelset and my old SPZ Toupe saddle. I had a BMC RM01 that fitted me like a glove, the aeroad has a little less stack but I think the headset stack is higher and the bars don't have as much drop as my old ones so it should be spot on.

Here's a pic of my old bike:

Track
This is going to be harder in terms of fit for me. I had a Cervelo T1 which had a very roadie geometry, I think I'll manage to change to a proper sprint geometry with the Dolan DF4 if I change the bars and stem. I had a Easton EA90 track handlebar with a very classic track drop, I'll need to sell it and buy something like a 3T Scatto and fit a positive stem too.

Here's the old bike:

Just recieved these in the mail, really excited :D

Welcome to oz.

Thanks pascalo! Hope to ride lots and lots :D

Welcome. If you make it to Adelaide and want a nodder cycling buddy that slows you down, let me know. Tour Down Under is on in Jan 14th, Fringe and all other shenanigans in what they call Mad March.

So, I was a little unsure about the DF4 geometry since it is very different from my T1, but I think I managed to hit a home run, of course without the wheels and crank is a little dificult to estimate but trying to sit on the saddle with the new positive stem and short drop bars it seems almost confortable dare a say :P

Brought the track bike today from the velodrome cage and thankfully the weather helped a lil bit too, here's the finished bike, thinking about removing the Ellipse Ellipse Ellipse, too many graphics atm

That I a short wheel base, looks badass! I would defo remove the rim decals

Have you given it a smash around the Brunswick velodrome yet?

I've being going to DISC on tue, fri and sun to race/train, it seems that Brunswick is closed for renovations

Pic of the finished Aeroad!

New front wheel \o/

Fuck yeah, I'm at least 3 times a week at DISC. I live in Thornbury so it's like 2km from home, love it!

I'm starting a new job in the CBD so I'll commute a lot on my touring bad boy:

I do a lot of small touring trips with my partner on VIC trails, it's a great way to know the state.

Nice rat btw!

Nice commuter. st Georges rd route? Did that for years. I'm living in Footscray now. There are many weekend adventures to be had. If you MTB Listerfield is great. Even yarra trails after work is ace. Will need to dry out a bit.
