Here is my new Roubaix which I ordered last July, massively delayed but worth the wait.

Digging the piccy on the wall. Of course a true believer would swap those cushions for lemon ones.

Just ordered one of these to replace my 15 year old Specialised Hardrock

File photo....



With a carbon frame the difference in weight is staggering

Looking forward to having a pedal on the downs

Good choice

I'm assuming you have one too

I've put in a few miles over the last couple of months and it's a really nice bike.

I've limited experience but it seems well built and really easy to spend a long time on

I've also got a Cube Attain Pro Disk road bike which I'm also really happy with - again, no problems on a long run and very comfortable.

Yep, it's an xl frame so with 29" wheels it rolls along very nicely, it's not the most nimble bike but then I'm not the most nimble rider so it's perfect for me....

Not posted in a while but thought i put my roadie up on here.

Roadie first, just getting into this again after moving to oxfordshire and not really having much in the way of hills for the mountain bike..
Post bike fit and needs a longer chain so some changes need to be made.


I do have a Santa Cruz Nomad and also an immaculate Yeti 4x which is more a wall hanger than a bike.

Nice that. Like the colour scheme.

p.s. "Roadie" is someone who rides a road bike. A road bike is a road bike.

Sorry, I forgot it's deemed offensive to correct people these days.

No offence taken, i'll just continue to call my bike whatever i want.

Dude, are your forks on the correct way around? I know some arches are at the rear, but it's pretty unusual.


Edit, the drop outs are at the front, so it must be normal?

I noticed that & looked it up on the website. Seems that's how they're doing it now

Especially when you're actually wrong.

I can't find one good multi tool, so there's my Gerber with pliers, an Alien tool and then a kind of pedal spanner tool thingy. Admittedly I only take the tyre if I'm over on the Purbecks and in the middle of nowhere. And twice I've met riders with punctures and given them a spare tube, good karma coming my way one day I hope.

.Yeah thats how i roll. Yesterday though i went out light, nothing but two bottles and a mini allen key set. burped my tyre and didbt see another sole with a pump. had to get home and drive back out again. Doh!

That is lovely! Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? Would love one

[oddball1313]

£7000

Was one of those fk it moments

You could save a few quid not going for the ultra's and fiiting chorus or potenza but you're only here once

[okgo]

Those spacers tho....

Lovely bike but that just isn't cricket!

[oddball1313]

I agree a slammed stem would look more pro but kind of defeats the point of the bike fit
