So, I've got quite a few projects about to kick off (well in exactly 2 weeks), having spent the cash I'd saved up from working, and the exercise trial, and the many, many sales threads.
Telfer Fixed TT/ Training Bike:
This had some pretty shoddy paint-work and was enough of a steal that I took it to Vernon Barker in Derbyshire to get Track Ends fitted.
Kit List:
Cadence Race Face Cranks (spares box)
Profile Bullhorns and TT bars (spares box)
Mavic CXP33 650c front, Campag Omega V rear.
Long as hell seatpost (spares box)
Road Bike for Grandparents house.
I spend about 1 weekend a month in Devon at the moment (a tough life!) helping out set up a smallholding which is going to be my dad's retirement 'job'.
Seeing as no-one wanted my stickered up winter frame, I thought I might as well put it to good use! And so its getting the parts from the bike below. (Sram Force) and some Rolf Vectors. (temporarily it will live in London so I can train on something when I'm down there.
Kit List:
Rolf Vector Wheelset (spares box)
Full SRAM Force carbon Groupset.
Fairly boring stem and bars.
Road Fixed for London.
As fun as this is to ride geared- I can't help thinking it would be more fun as a day to day bike when I'm in London.
Parts staying- the Cranks- different chainring.
Adding a wheelset and some risers/ bullhorns depending on whether I want to go for a distance ride or a jaunt around town.
Kit list:
Ultegra converted Crank.
Black wheelset
Thomson Stem + risers.
etc.
Cannondale Six13 Road Bike.
This will be my main road bike, and when the final project arrives late in the year it will be shifted to London, as a training bike there. I expect to get out on it most weekends, as I've discovered some spectacular local rides, any summer evenings (and probably some winter ones)- as I've now got a regular riding buddy as well- which is nice.
It also allows me to unleash my weight weenie side.
Kit List:
SI Hollowgram cranks.
Full DA 7800 otherwise
C24 Carbon wheelset
Watch this space-
Suspect a monster cross SS but may sell frame- depends on house situation next year.
Maybe a CX bike (depending on ebay luck)- entering local league.
Steel road bike.
Photos as and when I get things organised.
And it feels weird to have such a narcissistic thread. But will allow me to track the progress well I think.
