[Mr Haematocrit]

Thanks for the kind words guys, really appreciated

The bike was not really built for hills, I have an olympic editon Di2 sl4 tarmac for that
There is a bit for the comment which is not apparent, I also own a sworks Di2 venge which can be seen in my album and after preaching to everyone about the virtues of Di2 I did not plug my seat post battery in correctly and I got stuck in a big gear on a bigger hill until such time that I could remove my seat post and address the issue.... So I am forever tormented about this by others, the reference 'this was made for hills' was simply stating I had no battery to lose on this..

Battery gate as its called can be read about here

Ha ha, sorry about that, I had no idea of the reference to your unfortunate misfortune, now your comments all make perfect sense! Your Tarmac sounds like another beautiful bike and perfect for those more demanding rides! It's so nice to have that kind of choice for your rides. I bet you've probably bought the new Evade helmet as well just to complete the picture!!

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Yep I have the evade its a great helmet

I replaced this:



With this today:

Well the GTR didnt last long. Managed 6 weeks, 1155 miles before it was stolen while locked to a lamp post, while I had a cafe break in Blackpool. Wilier No2 has been replaced with Wilier No3. A GT with Ultegra DI2 fitted. The bike is fitted with all the lights etc as my main commuting bike at the moment while a sort out a suitable replacement. My insurance company must really love me, not looking forward to next years premiums. I feel as though I am single handedly keeping Wilier in business this year, 3 bikes in 5 months.

That's a thing of beauty. To preserve it I suggest a better lock or more salubrious cycling locations.

Freshly Tapped and new Fizik Aliante Kium saddle.

 

[Andrew_P]

Fresh off of its first commute in biblical rain and wind, taken with my crappy phone camera. Saddle needs levelling a bit and going to be lowering the stem steadily over the next month or so.

Cable housing on the rear brake could do with being shortened a bit I think

Yeah and the front brake at the front, the hazards of buying from online stores. Will sort it out over the next few days was desperate to get out on it, plus not over keen on my Specailized saddle but the standard one was not very comfortable. Plus they failed to set up the FD without any chain rub.. Still got interest free credit and 10% off which no one else was offering.

The other strange thing was advertised as a compact, arrived with a 53/39 and at the bottom of the box there was a compact set of chain rings in a jiffy bag.

That's an expensive commuter, hope you've got a good lock
£60 mountain bikes are regularly stolen from our place, that would be gone in 60 seconds!!!!!
(Bonus on the extra chain rings, assuming they are both the same BCD?)
Enjoy....

Some of the higher spec Cannondales come with both as standard, like yours.

Very nice as well.
