What bike/bikes are you riding?

[flyor64]

What size is it? I'm 6'3" and ride a 60cm, but I know two guys who are 3" shorter and insist on riding 61 and 63.

Frame size is large. Toptube is 54,2cm (eff tt is 57,3) and seat tube is 54cm. At 183cm I'm on the small size for the frame but when we set it up at the shop, it fit great (running a 100mm stem btw).

I think it boils down to preference a bit too. I'm sure I could get into a smaller frame with longer stem and set the saddle back, etc (save weight)...but I've been riding largish road bikes for so long I just feel more comfortable...it 'feels' more stable under me...with no data to back that statement up.

[Black-Balled]

Look kg461 w/ D-Ace for me...55cm
MTB is Santa Cruz Blur/ XTR (mainly!)

I also have an 853 steel road bike w/ same D-Ace as the Look. It is for pulling the kids in the trailer, basically

I've just got a Everton city bike... it's old... kinda squeaky sometimes (didn't like the snow during the winter I think) but hey... it works!
And if it's slow it's not the bike... it's me! I'm slow!

Kinda bad angle, I know. And... it's the red one... not the blue...

My team bikes this year are Felt F1 SL's Pretty good and about 6.5 kgs. New Felts are on the way with Di2 and MAvic Cosmic Ultimates.

Other bike Bottechia Ottavio.

Old Fondriest Top Level. I loved this bike, just wish i had it in old Lampre colours.

Worlds best Paint job on my Teschner Euro Pro

Mostly I ride a Pegoretti Luigino.

Steel. Frame and fork. Double plate flat fork crown.

A work of art to look at and a beautiful bike to ride.

Set up with Campag Chorus 10, Ambrosio Excellight SSC rims and ( currently ) Schwalbe Ultremo tires in a 25.

Not sure if a Agree with the Teschner paint job, but I like their way of doing things, go Aussies

 

[ElChingon]

Let start out with the oldie

The Fixie/Track Bike, in its fixie state:

Then the recent frame that broke, crack at the weld at the back of the BB seat tube weld, crack propagated to the material, since the frame is still hanging with the rest of the bikes had to post it even though it will never be ridden again.

Then the current one:

A new one is still coming to replace the broken one, can't leave a hole in the bike stand(s) it looks so wrong with one missing.

lol, it's good to have some cycling fans that aren't 'hard core' cyclists. Unfortunatly most Australian cyclists are the lycra kind.

The teschner was a beautiful bike to ride, and really light for an alloy frame. But the paint job we nicknamed the "Royal Sampler". At the Tour of Coleraine some one asked me if I was sponsored by Dulux!

I forgot one. I sold this one to a friend am now trying to buy it back because i want the frame for my wall.

Handmade by Luke Roberts's Dad, just down the road from me.

If all goes to plan, I'll be riding an Orbea (Onix Vento) soon. The Orca was out of my price range. That, and I'll be racing for the bike store that I'm buying it from.

It will be a relief after the two crashes I had three weeks ago, where I can't move it into the small chain ring (I use Shimano) without physically moving the shifter and the rear derailleur is beyond repair (if I get a rear flat tyre then I have to undo the rear derailleur so I can pop the rear wheel out, it won't come out any other way).

Oh you mean bikes? Ok..

I ride a Caad 9 cos Ive broken enough frames. These alu Cannondales are bullet proof. Light stiff, lifetime warranty... I use ultegra sl cranks cos they are the stiffest shimano has made and ride a heavy duty alloy steer fork for strength, comfort and out the saddle stiffness. Alloy bars, stem and seat post for durability and stiffness. You can chuck em in the recycling bin afterwards too. Powertap pro + is my power meter of choice. xtr pedals cover racing Cat 1 and riding to the shops with the bob trailer on the back for groceries.


I had a Calfee Bamboo but it got stolen last year in malaysia..

Small world (without wanting to sound creepy), but I've seen you at some races at Murwillumbah.

 

[craig1985]

My new bike, only got it Saturday afternoon (at that point it had only done 25/26km):

 

[durianrider]

Hey Craig! A fellow Murbah racer! Yep its a small world indeed, espcecially with the net..

Im not sure if we have spoken face to face but next time Im down that way, say gday!

Am up on the sunshine coast for the moment.

[TopCarbon]

Fondriest TopCarbon for the road

Scott Scale Limitted for the mountain

 

[The Knife]

New bike

New to forum, Hello everyone. 3 weeks ago got a new specialized Roubaix compact, racking the miles up fast. The carbon frame is the bomb. Maybe some Zipp 404s or Heds over the winter. Oh boy!

Thanks. So good that my foreman at work is thinking about buying one as well.
