I was pretty sure I was going to replace my Cube Agree GTC Race with another Carbon bike but this time a more aero one with either deep wheels or Di2 but I saw this at a bargain price so I had to have it- It's pretty much the complete opposite of what I set out to buy!!

If anyone can recommend a decent disc wheelset upgrade not more than £600 that would be great as the Mavics on it are pretty heavy.

A set of these @ £285?

I'm v. tempted myself.

Wrong thread but those do look like GVM!

After fallen out of love with my previous winter bike, a Giant Defy Advanced 1 disc due to the bike specific mudguards rubbing great big holes in the seat stays (all replaced under warranty) I sold it and replaced it with this.

Genesis Equilibrium 20 Disc

New bike day, a 2016 Cube Stereo, 2nd hand with choice upgrades.



Getting up early and taking the muddy route to work tomorrow.

Not a NBD, but someone saw one of my retro bikes online & sent me 1996 MBUK with it in:

Saw this on Reddit, looks lovely.

Can anyone on this thread use a sprit level?

The saddle angle of that Madone - good lord!

Yep, saddles and brake levers seem to be a problem for people!

Gratuitous photo of the bike sans front derailleur etc. Bike is so much quieter as a 1x drivetrain and lighter too, but most importantly looks rather cool too

(Man-maths made the upgrade to Eagle, trickle the XO down to this, along with reclaimed bits from an old Cotic meant this was under RRP.... With 'free' Eagle! I love my LBS...)

The latest addition to the stable It fought me ever step of the way on being built, but got there. It looks a bit clown bike like, but its a 19" frame on 29er wheels. Yes I know I need to sort out the seat angle before anyone moans, and I need to go through a final fit and test ride.

Looks nice, CD. Will it be taking the Tuscany Trail with you this year?

[Celtic Dragon]

Yes, but with bouncy forks, they're not 100% needed for Tuscany but do make the gravel nicer and the final leg is rocky.

However, its also in question, as I have questions over whether I'll be fit enough. As you'll have noticed from Strava, I haven't ridden much over this winter (went on a downward spiral after the wet experience). They have also cut the registration down to 6 weeks or 500 people as its the most popular Bikepacking event globally, so I'm playing the waiting game. If I feel Ok and get miles in by the end of Feb and there is space I'll go.

I've also committed to the 5 Countries Tour in late August, which I really want a good crack at. Its 1100KM in 7 days or less.
