Bike Porn

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

It came up in a thread that there isn't enough bike porn on this forum. Well here is a thread to post pics of the bikes that you've paid for with blood, sweat and $.

Ah! how'd you know?

Yup - could not afford the Super Record, so I went with Chorus and I am VERY happy.

Thanks for the kind words!

It was easy
Chorus brake calipers are silver, SR and Record are black. Chorus rear derailleur cages are alloy, SR and Record are carbon fibre. Plus Chorus cassettes don't have any titanium cogs like SR and Record.

Enjoy your awesome Colnago

This is gorgeous!

Both bikes are beautiful. But I have to say they would look much better with a San Marco Rolls topping off the seat post. A$$-hatchets is what I see in those shots.

If you can changed the wheel set and the brake callipers (and maybe the brake cables?), could a 'Cross bike be used as a road bike, and there would not be any problems?

The 'cross bike is actually very versatile. I'm fine with the brakes, but I do change out the wheels depending on what I am doing (23 Continental GP4000 for the road, 25 Continental Gatorskins for touring and wet roads, and knobblies for trails and 'cross races). I use this as my bad weather road bike, occasional commuter (when I'm feeling tired and feel as though I need gears), I've popped a rack on and used it as a touring bike recently when I rode around the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, on the mountain bike trails in the local hills, and then of course as a 'cross bike.

When I buy a new bike, it will come with a Campagnole groupset. I want to try something other then Shimano. The wheels are made in Italy.

Dean El Vado

A lot of people trash Dean, but my experience with them last year was good. It's sweet.

SystemSix

Don't know if this qualifies as porn but it's my current "A" bike. Brand new '08 frame off of ebay for $750. Last generation Chorus. More bike than my legs deserve!

 

[St. Elia]

[biker jk]

My just built Lynskey R330. First test ride today and all good.

Dean does 'single material' frames well.

Ah another orca owner! How are you liking it? I absolutely love mine will have to take a pic.

Nice - welcome to the Lynskey club!

I have been riding the orca for about a year now and while it is light and a great climbing bike, i was rally impressed how good it descends as well.


I have also received really good service from Orbea, first they gave me a bike to use for a couple of months while they got this one ready and then they replaced the FD cause mine cracked!
