Yes. This one

aah! That bike looks all worlds of wrong. Is it a tiny frame size or something? TBF I think it's the slammed stem / bars up that's doing it..

They're great cages, they hold the bottle well and never had a problem with mine. Hope you're fitting it to a LOOK frame

[Churchill dog]Oh yes[/Churchill dog]

Good to know they are as good as they look

It's a tiny frame to suit my wife. The lack of bar tape suggests it wasn't finished at that point, but it's mostly the low viewpoint.

Ah go on then! I've been holding off getting carbon cages as I'm usually a function over form kinda guy, but then I did switch to KEO from SPD-SL when I got my Look; to be fair they engage better and the supposed faster cleat wear isn't noticeable as I ripped up SPD-SL's just as fast.

Don't forget the LOOK bidon

Not 'bought' so much as 'received as Christmas gifts'.


1 x Giant branded waterproof saddle bag for my Anthem MTB
1 x Park Tools CT-5 Mini Brute Chain Tool

Both of which I'm extremely pleased with, but I have yet to remove them from their packaging and actually use them...

Pair of Superstar ex23 on tech 4 hubs, with sale code (merryxmas) £135 not bad for a pair of wheels that price.

Pair of Specialized Purgatory Grid 2Bliss for £35 from Sigma Sport, (£40 with £5 off joining their news letter that you can do in advance of ordering), amazing value compaired to other brands.

£175 for tyre & wheel combo that should end up being comparable to Hope Tech Enduros (same internal width & weight to within a few grams) & Hans Dampfs which would together have been closer to £400 I'm impressed.

Santa's brought a lovely fresh lairy yellow/red Fox Metah lid, but for my work Xmas do I went trampolining and I have yanked my back and not been able to try it properly.

Off to get mud guards as well tomorrow.

A few new bits for me, biggest bargain was the helmet, Bikesetc mag gave it helmet of the year, RRP is 80 but currently on sale at Planet X for 21 quid

[broster]

Bit of an xmas spending spree!
Trek superfly 9.6 2014 frame and few bits
Rockshox Reba RLT forks
XT brakes and rotors
XT pedals
Hope grips
Superstar single speed conversion
Superstar tensioner
Hope front chainring
Stans crest/fuel wheels

Should build a pretty good single speed with that lot!

To finish off the 29er build and not finding any bargain forks in any of the sales I've plumped of a set of these as a temp measure. I will get some bouncy forks if my bonus times up in Feb.
