CAAD 10 and other things

Long time listener first time caller.

Thought it was about time I put my mish-mash of bikes in one place, and it might encourage me to stop building them.

Carrera Corsa

First frame I bought (on eBay), and build it up as a fixie conversion for a while, before finally getting a nearly complete Shimano 600 groupset last year, to take it back to former glory. I really like this bike, have ridden it to the coast a few times, makes a great around town bike that I don't have to be so precious about.

It now has a Shimano 600 seatpost. It's currently got a Nitto 90 stem on, and some cinelli bars, I'd like to swap the stem out at some point for a 600, but no rush to do so.

CAAD 10

Next is my CAAD 10, which I picked up a couple of years ago on here, locally. For a long time this has been my frankenbike, built up with an eclectic mix of old Shimano Sora, in a weird 1 x 9 setup. Did some great trips on it, including down to Brighton a couple of times, but it's time to turn it into a proper bike.

Sram Force AXS incoming.

Lost Lad

I picked this frame up cheap on here from @jono84 for a sort of winter/gravel/disc/more comfortable thing.

Managed to get second hand Sram Force 1 hydro, for a very reasonable price, and mashed it together with some cheaper Apex components. My first tubeless bike too.

Raleigh Fixed Gear faker

I like yellow. I had a load of stuff left over from my old fixie. So I bought this on eBay, frame only. Found a matching (almost) Cannondale fork on here. Omnoms. Does me well for skidding about town and lock up and leave it. It's had a few guises but I'm happy with it currently. Why did I never ride flat bars on my fixed gear before?

CAAD 10 with semi bikepacking setup for the trip to Brighton. My friends prefer backpacks.

Climbing up into Brighton was not fun on this gearing, but I got up at least, in one go.
