What about the bike though


this is actually what i have been wondering, although the only thing carbon about my bike is its seat and forks it still cost me a grand and i do not want to keep it outside, but as its not my house i shall be living at for the next 6 months im not sure i have to many options! i will be getting delivery of bike in about 48 -72 hours! im not counting honest!

p.s does it qualify for this thread if its only a little bitty Carbon? do i and my lovely bike get relegated to another post?

put it on this post i dont mind!!!!!!!!!!!

I clamp mine by the seatpost.
But only with the wheels off or if I have to check the wheels whilst on the stand I tip the bike so either one of the wheels is touching the floor.

And as you know... mine lives in the conservatry, and when we are away.. in the dinning room.

out of interest people can you clamp a carbon seat post to a bike stand?

Also how do you keep you lovely carbon safe, mine is currently in my new baby to be's bedroom that has not gone down well !

My first bike build, a Scott Addict with 2010 Ultegra and Dura-ace wheels on it's maiden trip a couple of weeks ago, yes I forgot to take of the setting tag from the from derailleur and I will be cutting the steerer tube when I'm happy with the bar height...

I'm happy with it

Here's the new commuter, which has been an enjoyable project putting together and which is an absolute pleasure to ride:

 

[Young Un]

Carbon commuter, complete with full dura ace! Jealous much What must your non-commuter be like?

 

[Foghat]

This is currently the best bike! A steel Roberts has been the commuter for years, but it's too heavy for my hilly 19-mile-each-way journey, so the Number 1 wet-weather bike has been downgraded to commuter. This conveniently facilitates a further building project for the new Number 1 fast wet-weather bike, while Number 1 non-mudguarded bike is due for grand launch soon to replace a 12-year-old previous Number 1!

Bet you don't leave that bike parked 'just anywhere' Foghat...... impressive.....

 

[Foghat]

Thanks, chaps!

Fossyant - indeed; luckily I am fortunate enough to be able to keep it in my office! If that wasn't the case, it would have to be gas-piper instead...

It is!

I've not seen those rear lights before, what make are they please?

 

[BentMikey]

I think they are Dinottes, the brightest taillights you can own. They outshine everything else by what seems like a factor of 10. Lazers of Deth is how bright they are.
