[Sambu]

whats that beast?

 

[Chrisz]

E-Baytastic Look forward to seeing it built up and ready to ride mate

 

[TheDoctor]

Wow. That looks pretty brutal, and in a very good way.
*approves*

All in good time

Fingers crossed I'll have a report ready for you all later

EDIT: Just needs the chain and cables adding (and saddle adjusting)

Been looking at the photos here out of interest and knowing I would be posting soon and just chose and bought my first ever carbon bike this week - just collected today. I didn't intend going for a Trek at all! Partly cos the logo is everywhere on their frames but I like this bike a lot and the guy and the shop I've bought it from.

First time I've posted photos in CC and hopefully this link takes you to them. Been riding a 6 yr old alu frame / carbon forks, decided it was time to move up and was able to afford more than I first thought. So as you can imagine, it's a big change. Didn't think I'd go for white either but do like it. 60 cm frame and just weighed her at about 8.7Kg.

I see what you mean about the Trek logos! Nice looking bike though.

A few years old now, but it still puts a smile on my face every morning:

Not sure this counts, but the seat stays are carbon

 

[Arch]

Well, I actually have some carbon to show!



It's not really mine. And it's not a bike.

It's a blade from this:



Our wind turbine at St Nicks, which was lowered for its annual checkup on Tuesday....

Somewhere earlier in this thread are last years pics of my Boardman, just finished this years upgrades and took some pics for insurance purposes so thought I'd drop them in here...

And before anyone gets a dig in, yes I know my garage doors need a coat of paint

New SRAM Red chainset / SRAM Red Ceramic BB and some SRAM brakes to replace the not so great Tektro ones. Think that's me done now.

It's great ride and for those doubters out there I'm happy to say after an effortless 30 miles last Sunday I really do think the Ceramic BB does make a difference

Have the new Rival Brakes made much different to the tektro ones? I might be tempted to change mine...

I would say that's a big yes. The Tektro brakes on my Secteur were crap. Spongy and unresponsive.

 

[l4dva]

hmmmm.... I don;t have a great deal of confidence in the tektros on my boardmans at the moment either... I'm hoping the rims on new wheels thats ive just ordered will help. ill have to keep an eye out for some sram breaks at sale prices, they are about £90 at the moment on CRC.. quite a lot of money!

Are the sram ones any lighter than the tekros?

 

[Sambu]

which tektros were they? ive got the 710s on my tcr, not sure about them.
