New (to me) ride. No idea what model it is, but obviously a Ciocc. Bought from an Italian mate who brought it over to the UK about 5 years ago having bought it in Italy, he seems to think it might have belonged to a junior Italian race team.

Ciocc seems to have been bought out and now rebrand generic Chinese frames but frames from before then seem to be well regarded. Carbon fork and rear triangle, ali everything else and a mixture of Campagnolo Centaur and Veloce groupset. Mavic Ksyrium wheels and hubs. Rides really nicely, nimble and keen to climb.

^^ Nice to have something a little different to the crowd.


I've just finished my S/H tri bike build, finishing touches were the wheels. Very please with the results.

That's my dad, sadly no longer with us.

The picture of him as a youngster was taken at Hunstanton where him and his mates would regularly cycle to from Peterborough (115 mile round trip).

The plan is to take the bike on the same trip once I kind find a route that avoids the A47.
Are you local to Peterborough? I'm sure the 'PACE' (Peterborough All-Terrain Cycle Enthusiasts) Facebook group do a Hunstanton run, even if you didn't ride with them they're super approachable and could probably advise on a suitable route.
Been in touch, looks like I'll be joining them on the Fish & Chip run to Hunstanton in May, so thanks for the info.

£425 and and hour in the car, well pleased, it's hardly been used, and is something a little different.

Love this bike, going to turn it into a proper fixie and get to a velodrome and give it a go.

You may find that you won't get let on the track with a road bike, there are some key differences with track and road bikes, mainly crank length and bottom bracket height in order to avoid pedal strike when banking, something you don't want to do!

Take a look at Manchester's guidance here for an example http://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/track/informa...

Though this is the reason I'm not allowed any more bikes...




Luckily she got the pram she wanted so all worked out ok in the end!

The 105 would have been than enough bike for me but that model at the time only came in Brown or Matte Black and I wanted something different.

Does make dressing to match awkward, real 1st world problem there.

It has however converted me to disc brakes completely though, the mechanical Ultegra is superb and the general feel and handling is full on super bike. My only regret is I didn't hold out for the aero edition, but I don't ride fast enough to justify that.

Next bike will be a long way down the line, though it wouldn't be much different, DI2 or eTap maybe, though I may sell the PlanetX for a track bike in the short term.

Cheap winter bike to join the rest of the collection. £240 off eBay, 2 new tyres, some bar tape and a good clean up/service and she's good to go.



And the 'other' bike, Canyon Aeroad 9.0 SLX Dura Ace with Vizion Metron 40's.

This one wasn't £240 though smile

Don't be so sure. I bought a Dogma 3 yrs ago and thought the same, but with the aim to up my game to match the bike.

I have, have since upgraded almost everything bar the frame....and now looking at upgrading that. What you need is in your hands..... wink

My Supersix Ultegra is more bike than I could ever justify but on long rides it so rewarding and fun. Who cares about pelatons, KOM etc.
