veigalane- that bike looks mental and I salute you.
Good work!

why double post today forum?

Is that the Roberts I rode at Tour De Ville years ago?

Forum being pretty buggy recently H.

what is wrong with you guys, seriously, he is 15 and his back isn't as stiff as yours. so get over it.

if you arms are locked straight then you possibly don't have the core strength to use drops with bent arms.

i think slam that stem works only on part of the bikes, not all
i stopepd liking it a little while ago - ffs why do you think they make high anlge track stems??

not enough arrows, have some more

put my new pinarello together (thanks jambon)
only needs master link and its ready to go
really excited to take it out to the velodrome next week!

if you are referring to me its Shootthebreezes Brian Rourke

^^ how did it become so slack on the front travelling from Jambon to whereevr you are?

my arms arent normally locked out and it would be interesting putting drops on ahaha would need knuckle dusters to avoid skinning my hands on the tarmac

ffs why do you think they make high anlge track stems??

to allow for the lower drop sprinting bars and smaller headtubed frames that track racers use.

why do you think they make high angle track stems? for looks? or for shits and giggles?

you must not have understood my post correctly MrSmyth, sorry for that

i don't think you understood mine either. confusion all round

Looking good, what's the wheelset? Don't forget to let us know how you get on with it. Those bars are purdy.

jambon's Pinarello is reincarnated in the hands of somebody else; jambon has a new bike; difficult to keep up with the bike-trading here.

If we had a pedalroom/velospace thing happening on our profile page that'd be the ultimate, with owner history... Velocio? Hippy?

wheelset: campa hubs and omega v rims (36h, Clincher) with Vittoria Diamante Pro Pista
really enough for me at the moment

if/when you get bored of them, let me know? They are pretty much my ideal wheelset, laverlyyy...!

But you have a Pegoretti with a nodder headtube, no?

I'll agree since the only time they're crap is on hill.

small wheel + less rotational weight = more effort uphill, and there's a lots of hill in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dale.

but everything else it shine, it help keep an average of 13.7mph for the whole 600km ride, simply because it's stupidly aerodynamic (no wind resistance on wheel, nor frame, luggage can be stack without panniers, easier to accelerate etc.), I was easily able to keep up with Stonehedge on his carbon/alu Pinarello with just a large saddlebag.

I'm on a fench with it, it's great, comfortable, smooth, and fast, but the hill is my favourite, it suck when the bike made it harder to climb, even though I've gotten fitter to do the ride, I love how it handle, I never lean so much on a bicycle that's not a Moulton, and descent is ridiculously easy, even at 40mph, while Stonehedge is gripping on the handlebar trying not to let go due to road vibration.

Going to take the Surly Crosscheck on a light 200 miles tour soon and see how it handle in comparison to the Moulton (100 miles each day).

WTF????....Moultons are about as aerodynamic as a fucking fence.
Where do you come up with this shit???

Sandy Gilchrist TT bike just arrived
sorry for bad picture

You bought it! FFFUUUUUU yeah, that thing is 11 kinds of radical! :)

sick cranks

Awesome! a good elbow grease and it'll be ready to ride, everything seemed to be exactly how he left it right down to the handlebar.

I rode the fucking thing arsewipe.
