I rather like that!

Ok great thanks. Next novice questions, does that in anyway limit the chainset I can put on it?
I'm thinking the new Tiagra 10 speed or 105.
I presume this won't be limited by the rear width of the frame?

So in a moment of genius or madness, I'm thinking about buying back my first road bike; a 2010 Trek 1.2. Stripping it and building it with some better parts and in a truly bonkers moment finish with a custom paint job. This would be my first ever build and I'm a total novice at the mechanical side of things

Before I get too carried away I'm trying to find out what BB it has, rather unhelpfully it's not listed here; http://archive.trekbikes.com/gb/en/2010/trek/12#/uk/en/2010/trek/12/details

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

This is amazing I keep debating a second hand Supersix and getting a custom paint job.
They seem like such good bikes, great value and loads of them about.

I agree with Phil. Hill reps if you really want the pain. Negative splits are good fun for some pain.
I'm personally just trying to get back to enjoying running at the moment.
Putting all that other shiz aside.

What's the goal?

Ti is bling though ;-) I like the aesthetic. Oh what wheels are you thinking?
Saw a van Nicholas yesterday, with big old rims!
I'm thinking I'll get two a quick pair and the something more rugged and bombproof.

You got the frame for a great price too.
Only downside for me is only one ring on the front.

My cycling hopes are, weekend socials, the odd tri, the odd long endurance type thing.
Thing against Canyon is no finance option. Love the stage blue on the disc Ultimate.

Thanks.
I know a one bike to rule all is like chasing your shadow but I potentially have the budget to spend maybe up to 2k but I'll be strictly limited to one bike so need to spend wisely!
I really want a bike I'll love over anything else. As both my previous bikes were large compromises.

Yeah, maybe a load issue as I've been taking it easy-ish.
I never change shoes for the fear of anything!!

Looks great.
I'm looking to get a bike again, been without for far too long and I really can only get one.
Do you think a budget Ti racer/tourer is the best all rounder you can get?
My bike history is somewhat limited a Trek 1.2 and a Felt F4.
The other leading option is a Canyon Ultimate entry level CF.
Bit of a lame question but I don't know anyone who owns a Ti

I've not seen the video of the accident. Not sure if it's available? So can't comment beyond the simple fact he should have had a brake.

I never want to end up in court though as it seems somewhat of a lottery.

Some general advise, please.
I've just started running again. Over the last three weeks I've run, 7km, 7km, 5km x2 this week two 12km runs. Half way through got new shoes.
My ankle/ calf/ lower shin is sore. I've iced it the last two days and is feeling good.
The million dollar question is due to load or new shoes or something random...?

Of course it's contrived, like elements of his defence would have been.

For me the real sticking point was a lack of a brake. I think it's fair to expect a persons bike is legal.
