Show Us Your Carbon!!!

[tjcafferkey]

My Planet X RT58 with 7700 cranks Ultegra group with PX 52 clinchers.I love how the cranks contrast with the frame. This bike was an exercise in scratching an itch and so the n+1 demons have been bannished.......for now View attachment 29264

Very nice, love the use of white against black on it.

Thanks tj,do you mean the stem?Accident, they just didn`t have it in plaine carbon so white it was.Looks well tho.

Or did you mean the background in the shot? Again, accident,thats where it is parked at work.

Just over 2 months ago I bought a Wilier Izoard XP with Ultegra and FSA groupset for the princely sum of £1500. I loved it. It got me out doing the miles. I upgraded the wheels from the standard Shimano RS30 to ultegra wheels which were a little stiffer, but also a little lighter (they looked cool as well!) and fitted a charge spoon saddle, but other than that it was standard. Took me a while to get used to the shape of the bars and after a while I cut the fork stem down so there was not so much pertruding above the top of the bar clamp.





I did London velodrome to Manchester velodrome in 18 hours on it, a total of 210 miles with no problems at all, it was great fro distance work. I did over 2000 miles in 2 months on it and then last week I went into the back of a van parked in a cycle lane while doing 27mph. My fault, I was head down in the rain. Unfortunatley the frame didnt come out of it too well!

Doesnt look too bad here!


But...






I am hoping to get another one though my insurance as I really liked the bike and it is not a bike you see very often.

My face didnt do too well either! I was wearing a helmet although I do not believe they are very good as an impact stopper in this case it has stopped me from getting more cuts on the top of my head, you can see where my helmet stops!

Had this a couple of months, not as stealth like as most but I like a bit of bling

I've changed the tyres as the stock ones had issues with splits and it's got some bottle cages now.
