My new Cervelo R5, I've done about 180 miles on it now and it is brilliant!

Never heard a bad word against the R5 frame

[GrantD5]

Had my 105 levers fitted, lizard skin bar tape in black, new bottle cages and a saddle bag. Oh and removed my wheels stickers.

Don't worry, the UCI changed their saddle rules to allow up to 9 degrees of saddle angle. I have mine 6 degree nose down and I don't give fking st about anyone's approval because it's comfortable and means that I don't put undue pressure on my perineum!

Nice bike, what happened to the missing knives in that block!

In the dishwasher....although given the cost, the wife might have hidden them somewhere for future use.... :-)

The missus is standing behind with them, ready to extract revenge for the bike-on-worktop photo op ;D

I had one of those as a hire bike in Tenerife recently and was really impressed with it.

I'm really happy with it, a massive upgrade from my Allez

[Gruffy]

Treated the Aeroad to a wheel upgrade for its second birthday. Knight 65s. Braking is a big step down after Mavic Exalith but they're undeniably quick and suit the bike well.

Took the new bike out for it's first ride today.
Initial verdict is that it's great fun!

[vwsurfbum]

So this is my new stead, (not done a clean photo yet, apologies) and the grips are now the correct colour.

And this is the recently updated wifes bike wearing her new hoops.

The Air Forces Memorial, Runnymede? So far as I know, there ain't no way of getting to that, save for a tasty hill climb whichever way you came from...

It is indeed.
I went up the Cooper's Hill Lane bridleway climb. A much nicer climb than either of the road ones and I get a chance to drool at the cars on the Maranello forecourt on the way past

Likewise - It is stunning. I'm very much into my retro bikes (albeit mainly MTB) and have always loved Kleins (I have a late 90s Adroit frameset in the garage )

Time to try something a little different, New carbon cross bike 105 / Ultegra
