And I used to welly the fuck out of that 5 more often than not, as I am young, and invincible.

Been babysitting the Porsche over Christmas. Does better mileage than the MX5...

Wut. My old 5 got better mileage than my Ma's 1.2 Fiesta. That said, the Fiesta fucking drinks and then some for some reason. Always has.

Wow. Shocking stuff. Hoping that the worst of the welds are as posted(in less noticeable places). You somewhat took a bullet for all of us there. Hopefully it rides well.

I would imagine it's fine seeing as it's quite a forgiving saddle/bar drop but I don't know much about TT positioning.

I'm tempted to do something similar to this with my Pre Cursa once the incoming Gazzetta arrives for daily duties, albeit with no 3 speed shenanigans.

Well whether they're just ignorant or have taken anything on board, so be it.

It's all gone quiet since showing the car examples so maybe something sunk in.

That's me done.

0 sweep risers?

The thick plottens...

Gaston I'm pretty sure TM was just joking.

TT looks bent :-/

i've seen this before, the distortion has something to do with the seatstay junction(i think).

Great provenance, GLWS

the fletcher is a bargainous beaut.

love it.

Hi what crankset is it? and what are the wheels?

hahah.

that is one dinger of a pub bike.

thrust's gif game so strong.

He flipped it over here because somebody posted it in porn, where it doesn't belong for all the reasons you have given.

I'm well aware, the point I was making is I really don't think it belongs here either(the depths of gash).

slack chain, cranks and front light.

come off it, non machined rear rim, cables sorted and a more sensible saddle and there is nowt wrong with that polo machine. not in a million years anti.

This is the shit

Each chainring uses 5083 Armourplate aluminium which work hardens with use to maximise life of the chainring.

This sounds sketchy.

serious moves. and rich forne filmed goodness

although whether they're well made or not remains to be seen. from that edit posted of the workshop it did look a bit artisanal.

looks like a toddler ate a packet of party rings, examined the HED and projectile vomited.

on a serious note it seems to me that Skream are close to doing something quite cool, I think they're pushing at an open door in trying to market a well made, cheaper Mash/Low alternative. The branding and gaudy colourschemes mean i never reach more than half mast from what i've seen anyway. i'd choose the grey if i had to though.

What saddle are you using now?

I've used the following saddles:

Concor (original), Turbo (orgoinal and re-issue), Cinelli Unicanitor (not re-isssue, stripped to plastic), Flite (re-issue), Turbomatic II (original), Brooks B-17 team pro, Kashimax Aero, Kashimax 5 Gold and a Fujita Seamless.

Out of those I've only had problems with the Kashimax's (too hard) and the Concor (50k's in shorts though). I'm currently using a Flite on my CX / all round bike that gets ridden most days (10k's return in shorts / jeans) and 50-60k's (in lycra) with no problems. The only time I ever had problems with blood flow was when the nose of the Unicanitor was pointed slightly up and that was it.

In saying that, it's your junk, which will be different to mine.

Currently using a fairly battered BeOne saddle, long discontinued but it's lightly padded and has a mild cutout towards the rear. This is the best picture I have of it:

Out of interest what was the issue with the Concor, just general discomfort? That was the other option I was considering but have found a black Turbo for good money. How do you rate the Turbos for comfort?

There is a good article on the Cervelo blog about saddles and blood flow etc - from memory it syas that not everyone will need a cut-out saddle but there aren't too many down sides to having one if you don't need it.

Some of it is Women specifc/focussed - but a lot of the principles are the same

Thanks, checking that out now.

Donning my tinfoil hat and getting all paranoid for this one. I'm looking at getting a Turbo for a(hopefully) upcoming build and the one thing that's bothering me is the lack of perineal relief. My round commute comes in just under 25km and my spins really don't push past 50-60. Would I need to make a conscious effort to get out of the saddle at intervals to make sure blood flow is okay? Have I got anything to worry about or am I just being silly? Any input in this regard is mucho appreciated. Cheers.

I would have killed for that Hellas lo pro that was for sale on here a while back.
