Revolution Audax from Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Op http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-audax-12 I bought mine in their sale earlier this year. No lightweight, but comfy with its 25c tyres, Reynolds 525 frame and carbon forks. Mudguards essential this time of year too.
Taken in Clumber Park Notts.

Here's my newly acquired Dawes Stratos, It seems to be from the early 90's, but I haven't done much digging yet and would welcome any Dawes info anyone has.
Reynolds 531 competition tubing, factory custom paint, Shimano 105 groupset with updated early spec 105 STI shifters.
It's had a good going over today, tyres and tubes changed, seatpost, seatpost bolt, quill stem and bolt all stripped, cleaned and copper greased. Also stripped and greased the headset bearings as well.
The saddle and bars position has been tweaked, and I've fitted SPD-SL pedals as I use them on my other bikes too.
A good wash and scrub up has helped things along, and while I intend to change all the cables I think I'll be leaving it as it is TBH, I think it has a certain 80's/90's charm.
[EDIT] just done a quick 5 mile shakedown ride and I really like how it rides. The test ride I did yesterday was only a pootle up and down the road, but enough to know it was worth the money, and today this bike really put a smile on my face, despite me only having 50% of the gears to go at. One things for sure, if I ride this often it should certainly get me fit!

New Charge Juicer:
Standard except for bottle cage, pedals, computer and stem. This is my first drop bar bike for years and the original stem at about 2'6" long and zero rise was just too muchNot sure about the cranks (aesthetically) and the brakes (functionally) but first impressions are very good overall.
Edit - looking at that photo I've just noticed that both mudguards, especially the front, are ridiculously short as well!
Hi, what's the stem your using?
