Show Us Your Carbon!!!

[Rob3rt]

Just thought I would put my summer bikes on the thread, should put the winter bike on that thread. Felt would = No.1 ride

Very nice!

My new race bike for next year. Scott foil 20 with last years cosmic carbone's and new speedplay pedals. Only arrived yesterday and probably won't even get to ride it until next year.

Even Nicer!

Fek that, there's no such thing as a winter bike.

You've clearly never ridden in the winter in Ontario...! My carbon thing wouldn't last more than a few minutes on the ice and snow here. No room for studded tyres.

New to the whole thing. Nevertheless, this is the picture of my first carbon bike Specialized SL3 Tarmac Elite 2011. I took this picture while I rode it to Tower bridge on the New year's day.

The finished bike at last, scott cr1 and just entered my first sportive, looking forward to the
challenge on a decent bike at last.

My ride, a 2010 TCR advanced, a few more subtle upgrades to go yet.

Something I put together to get my fat arse off the sofa and back into the race scene again.

My Carbon:

Pinarello FPQuattro with Ultegra groupset and Mavic Carbone SL's.

May upgrade it to UDi2 when the costs come down a bit....(or full Di2 if I win the lottery )

Really need to drop those bars and lose, (or reduce for now at least) that stack of spacers, it'd look much better for it IMO. Looks nice, just sort the stem height and it'll look great

Bike was £2100 in end of 2011 sale, Wheelset was an additional £750 (also on sale).

That might be too much of an aggressive position for me right now, but in time I am planning to drop it a bit. (Need to loose a bit more stomach first )

After busting my Ribble I thought I would try some cheap carbon so I built this up yesterday and took it out for it's maiden spin this morning. Despite the wind it rode really well. At well under 8kg it is by far my lightest bike. The frame was from Hong Kong. The saddle, bars, stem, wheels and tyres were all saved from previous bikes so costs were kept to a minimum. I reckon if i got obsessive I could get the weight to 7kg but that would ruin the cheap build ethos I had with the project.

Is "busting my ribble" some kind of gangsta rap dance move?
