Dont know wether youve ordered 7.0 yet but they on offer at the minuite £200 off i recall now under £1500luckyboy said:Just spent a few hours (bad at photoshop) customising the stock image of the bike I should have by the end of the year - Canyon Ultimate CF7.0 with Athena.
Already have the Rotor Aero Q-Rings, have to wait/save for the Canyon, Antares, Rotor 3G cranks and other red bits. Should have a proper photo to post in December

At the moment I just have a crappy 3 year old black Allez![]()
Parera said:Actually for a Specialiazed that ain't too bad in terms of looks...just get that crap off the seatpost and get some more flexibility, those spacers aren't exactly...pretty. :/
edit: Though cycling causes a vanity complex in many (myself included) who cares, just ride that bike into the ground. This is the only thing that matters.

elapid said:In addition to my Lynskey Level 4 road bike, Stevens Team Ultegra 'cross bike, Giant NRS MTB, and Raleigh Rush Hour, I recently bought this no-name steel frame from eBay and built it up as a single-speed (not fixie) commuter. Racks have since been added.
Parera said:Looks like a wonderful errand bike...discrete but tasteful. Always chuckle when I see hipsters who ride their tricked out fixies to the natural foods store...yes, good for you, encourage those bike thieves! *facepalm*
RDV4ROUBAIX said:Actually, a big reason for riding fixed is to deter bike thieves. Friend of mine had his stolen when we were messengering, he put out an APB on the radios, sure enough we found his bike only a couple blocks away from the scene of the crime with some Mexican dude laying in the middle of the road holding his leg. If you can't ride it, you can't steal it...![]()

oncehadhair said:New? How much (if you don't mind sharing). I'm thinking of one with di2.
Good ride? Not too stiff?
k_gibbo said:mid 6's. I really like the ride. It is not nearly as still as I was expecting. For the price I think it is a great bike. I really considered a C59, but it was quite a bit more $ and in the end the S3 is still way more bike than I really need. It is a massive upgrade from my old Trek!
