So it's a Pinarello, then.

I absolutely must have one of these.
Anyone got any idea who makes it?

My bike is ready and is getting shipped at the same time as yours ...
I sent you the monies for the paint job the other day too.

Nice frame, the polished ones were supposed to be made by Sandvik, the later bead blasted ones by Litespeed (certainly the road frames in any case)

Other way around - the bead blasted road frames were built by Sandvik and the model name was 'Forte'. The fancier polished 'Edge' frames were Litespeed. I wish I had never sold mine...

I picked up the titanium version of this last night and I've got a Betty Leeds. Fixie Inc frames are almost offensively good-looking in real life.

I can't help but wonder if one of the three frames in the first photo is my Vanishing Point. Apparently the frame is finished but hasn't been painted yet. I was also thinking neon pink and black...

My bike is Di2-specific. I'll start a thread once I see the photos of the bike.

undibs

Second dibs, etc etc etc.

Being tenuously employed by what's left of *The UK's Most Trusted Electrical Retailer *surely means I should have spent this afternoon looking for another job, not another frame.

Maybe it is all the stress and worry, but all I want is a GT road frame. I need 54cm and would consider anything as long as it's not made out of aluminium.

I deeply regretted selling my Edge Ti from the second I finished taping up the box.

Magnets.

Ok, I realise its a long shot and I am not holding my breath, but...

Somebody clearly took a liking to my Kona Grand Wagon, because a few months ago I found it with a carefully smashed-up rear wheel, intricately scratched-up paint, and the metal badge on the head-tube had been lovingly prised away. I assume this was using a key, because I am missing plenty of paint around where the badge used to be.

I'm giving serious thought to re-painting it, but either way, I really would like to replace the badge on the head tube. I have been in touch with Kona Europe and they don't stock them.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on one? I will gladly pay monies.

Perhaps you could ask some of your military pals for some intel, Iron Man

Mmmmmmm, ambiguous.

Some ace stuff on here. Love the segmented forks.
Food for thought, I'm just about to order a new frame...

Who manufactured this wonderful bicycle?

Same age as me too, but arguably in better condition...

Needs more green

Also, that '2013' GT needs DA 9000 amirite

It needs to be mine ... I went on a light interweb trawl today to see if I could buy one yet.

If you have short thumbs, being able to continue down the cassette, while in the drops, using the thumb shifter, is vital.

Agreed. I used single-shift Veloce for a while and got used to it, but when you're in the drops you soon get sick of the limitations of this kind of shifting. On the other hand it isn't a problem on Shimano with their more readily-accessible paddle.

The real horror of 2012 Athena is the powertorque crank, no?

What makes you say that? - genuinely interested, as I thought the alloy Athena crankset was the nicest, most traditionally Campagnolo-looking component in their current line-up.

I think the most awful thing they've come up with are their BB's and their scantily-sealed bearings. I love riding Campagnolo but they do plenty to make me resent buying into their hardware.

I'd just buy a car instead.

I concur. Both Centaur and Athena were "downgraded", I assume to add extra value to Campagnolo's big-money gruppos.

Bullshit.
I had a 2010 Athena 11 speed groupset, And you can shift almost half the block in both directions depending on how far down you push the thumb shifter.

Athena Power Shift
Chorus Ultra Shift

Not sure what you think is "bullshit", but here's what Campagnolo says about 2012 Athena:
*The performance features are top of the line thanks to Power-Shift™ technology which enables multiple upshifting (3 gears) and single downshifting.*

They don't have plastic lever blades either.

Has anyone got any experience of the difference, if any, between modern chorus and athena campag groupsets?

Two things:

• Chorus levers are Ultra-Shift, Athena levers are Power-Shift. Only Campagnolo's upmarket levers now allow you to up-shift a handful of sprockets at a time. With Athena, you can only go up one gear per press of the thumb-shifter.
  
• Carbon fibre groupsets are fucking shit. Carbon clearly has a place on bikes where the gains matter, but it is beyond me why Campagnolo insist on using so much carbon on "everyday" groupsets. Earlier in this thread someone even asks about commuting on carbon cranks. Rain and road grime on cranks that come with a warning not to leave them exposed to direct sunlight!
  
  

I'm running 2010 Centaur on two of my bikes: it is pretty, alloy won't break on its own accord, it didn't cost so much that I'd cry if I broke something if I wiped out, and I can go up three gears at a time on the Ultra-Shift levers. If I was choosing a new gruppo I'd be thinking about alloy Athena. I'd cheerfully spend more, but the extra outlay buy you reduced reliability as well as lighter weight.

I've got a full bike's worth of swanky parts and nothing to hang them on, so I'm looking for a posh steel road frame. Things in the windmills of my mind are:

• DeKerf Prodigy
  
• Independent Fabrications Crown Jewel
  
• GT Edge 853 (would have to be a 54!)
  
• Brodie Rodie
  
• Bontrager Roadlite
  
• Ritchey Road Logic
  
• Kona Kapu
  
• Kona Haole
  
• Rock Lobster
  
• Anchor RNC7
  
  

I ride a 54 but am totally happy on 55cm compact, and get sick with want for things with matching steel forks.

I think you have women confused with Royal Mail bags.

Happens to me all the time...

... as I am in Hull, innit
