hhsrb

Long and low. Looks fast. Cockpit on point.

Thumbs up as far as I’m concerned.

needs more spacers

Not dialled. Frame does not fit rider.

This is anti imo

Oltre XR4.

Anti? Guess it's too new for this thread.

Needs some sticker seasoning ay.

I like it. I’d forgive the spacer stack as it’s got no pedals so assume it’s for sale.

More chariot than hhs tho. A sticker on the top tube should do the job.

I quite like it too, nicely undersized proscloset type stuff.
Probably a barn find given the set.

Second-tier groupset, all of Europe's stock of spacers, shallow bars. Full MAMIL wagon.

This has been a mamil wagon thread for a good while now. New bikes are just too expensive to be anything but. Cycling needs to take a hard look at itself.

Europe's stock of spacers

loool

this is true. a wealthy friend STARTING cycling asked me for advice, discarded it and bought a parlee disc z-zero with red axs and enve ses, just shy of 5 figure. because why not

Are you blind? The saddle setback is insane.

Not saying I don’t like them, I do. I’d love that bianchi. But building something more modest with silly components is way more hhs.

Sorry for derail. This is not the thread for serious discussion. Pls forgive me.

Its mainly the scoble stack..

you're excused. everyone wants a wall full of ex-pro bikes to rotate through the summer

Yeah yeah but saddle forward and spacers deleted and it’s pretty much done. I don’t think anyone is riding that bike as is.

Did you even look at what you posted on the last page?

HHSRB is not judged on potential! It requires commitment.

Maybe that makes sense. Just buy a banging bike from the get go. Forget all the upgrading shit as you go. Prob cheaper and greener than going through the evolution. Im contradicting myself now.

Buy it all second-hand because most new bike stuff is ming. Also green, etc.

I quite enjoy looking at that merida earlier. hardcore cockpit setup, shallow wheels on an aero rim frame. that's a bike that can be used intensely. is it hh enough though ? seems like the HHive mind is divided

It would be, with a 9000 crank imo

Merida looks like someone who knows what they are doing rides it. Shallow rims are more pleasant than high profile rims on crappy roads.
Bianchi is for a rider who should have bought a relaxed city bike.

or just a size bigger -> loads of spacers, setback and long stem with not much drop could be remedied pretty easily.
