Show Us Your Carbon!!!

[Saluki]

Here is mine


Try to ignore the saddlebag. The bar tape and saddle not matching was an accident. They were supposed to but then the seat that should have been on there was out of stock so a white (much better) was put on and I forgot to mention that the bar tape would need changing. I'll get around to doing it when the black tape goes all flat.
I do this bike. I thought that my Defy was a cracking bit of kit but this is awesome IMO.

Jeez, Saluki, I'm going to have to report you to the Velominati. For your own good you understand. There's more rule-breaks there than I care to think about. Have a little think about Rule 8 and Rule 26, to start with, then repent.

Is your saddle nose-high, or is it just a funny angle of photo?

Funny angle of photo.

Bar tape and saddle were matched but the Selle Italia that I was supposed to have was out of stock so they gave me a better one for no extra cost. I did not know this until the bike arrived so I had no chance to get the bar tape changed. I'll sort it out when I have a few spare pennies. Actually, that cork tape is remorselessly unpadded so I might just put some over the top! (Is that allowed?)

Rule 26? Get a grip. I'll gussy him up another day. I took a pic as it dawned on me that I'd had him a week and had not posted photos. I was more concerned with not getting kicked off the forum for non-photo compliance than beautifying an already drop-dead gorgeous bit of kit.

My new Di2 equipped Scott Foil 15. A crash replacement steed. It's only coming out when it is dry and sunny!

First road bike since some unnamed 'race bike' from the late 80's.
Went for a Planet X Carbon Pro because ... bang for buck or some such reason.
See that bench that's where I had to sit and rest for 'a moment'.

Real nice ride that is. I'm guessing photoshop and stick or something similar on the left pedal arm.
