Compact?

52/36 i think.

Saddleback bikes, the only people that can afford to ride Enve rims all winter.
My favourite is the Caad optimo, full guards and 6.7's.

Without wanting to sound like too much of a brand pusher, anyone who can afford Enve rims can afford to ride them all winter... the brake track is covered under warranty for 5 years!

the brake track is covered under warranty for 5 years!

Surely (rapid) brake track wear (due to bad weather) isn't covered under warranty?

that is actually pretty amazing

that is actually pretty amazing

Is it? As suspected and is reasonable, it (only) covers defects in materials or workmanship, not normal wear (and tear):

Warranty does not apply to [...] normal wear and tear. [...] Normal wear and tear refers to:

• Worn out braking surface
  

I guess five years is better than the standard two year EU warranty.

Saddleback has always done an amazing job with validating warranties on Enve rims.
Even with what it looked like (to my eyes) wear & tear...

since its hip hop, how come no1 is discussing the beef that Alto started with Enve? and EVERYONE weighed in?

Because their test is pointless in the first place?

oh then that is much less impressive.

ride discs

in all seriousness though that was quite interesting to watch

ride discs

That is absolutely honking, but I can’t stop looking at it

It's interesting how Fred Wagons are even more outlandish than pro bikes.

eTap makes bikes so clean looking. 👌

Best bike here in a while. Could have destickered wheels but thats just being picky. Awesome

Pretty awesome. My only picky point is those are GXP cranks rather than the bb30 ones

Frame might be BSA not sure

Didn’t think they did any. It’s a late one, caad7 optimo so probably from 2006 or so. Mines bb30

caad7 optimo

How's it going on that anyway?

It’s built, it’s just too wet to ride it. Needs tyres though. I’ll probably just stick some GP4000s on for now. It’s getting the SI crank and spider ring. Carbon bottle cages are on the way, I took the Chinese bars off and they snapped shortly afterwards when I squeezed them. Also could do with a proper saddle because the carbon SLR is incredibly painful.

Mine is exact same as the one pictured. BSA - got the frame NOS, apparently from 2004 according to the person I got it off
