EC1 Collective

"Heckling", not talking, don't tell porkie boy.

They didn't make though a bike did they?

do you need to pay to join cycling's equivalent of a LinkedIn group

you mean they're all secretly recruiters?

Didn't they get the memo? The 80s want their weight weenies back. Meanwhile, in 2016 ,the cool kids are making their shit aero.

Loving the merchandise.

44t chainring to ensure one never exceeds chopper speeds

As many people wearing Islington CC kit as EC1 Collective :'(

Surely somebody on the weightweenies forum has done lighter than that?

and better

If you read the article there's a stock Focus that's lighter

But unusable downward facing mtb levers!

read the article

pffft, who does that anymore

lol

What, and miss out on gems like:

In the end we opted for deeper section rims because they looked more radical

Is this the lightest disc brake road bike in the world?

The odds of ec1 being episode 1?

With working part too.

I joined just to post a comment on how gross it is.

Perhaps unsurprisingly... Mine got moderated :(

I joined as I was curious and knew I would pass the pre-vetting process due to my law firm employment but never went on a club ride or collected my jersey. The inside of the website is as bad as you would imagine, a long survey on rim depth choice, the cost of our bikes and where we'd like to go on long-haul cycling trips (Dubai!). So after all the grossness we've seen I resigned my membership via email and he agreed to hear my reasons for leaving. I was nice but told him it was a wasted opportunity to do something positive with the type of people he was hoping to interest, and that the club was wrongheaded and exclusive for no reason. I then gave him a list of things he could encourage his members to do in their office / the City instead of just putting together horrible and borderline unridable bikes. Not had a response from him.

After seeing how people drive in Dubai that'd be the last place I'd want to cycle.

I refrained from swearing. Just a quietly dissapproving statement

"At 1,400g we know we could shave off a decent chunk from the wheels. These are clinchers too so a pair of tubs will save a further 100g or so, especially over the heavier tyres we eventually went with. ”

If your going to do a job.. do it sort of properly....club motto
