It's nice, but it really looks like an orca.

Can't pass up that opportunity!

Orca with Sram Force. Wheels are ksyrium Equipes, and will be migrated to the commuter when I get a nice wheelset. Need to do some more training to warrant that though.



Couple more here.

I got a shock when I first looked at this one, thought you'd crashed it already! Didn't notice the work stand at first. Obviously, it's a work in progress pic.

... already...
Now I know why people say white bikes are a PITA still like it though.

I believe the other one or two on order are the Black variants.

About 10.2kg via the standing on the weighting scales with the bike method. The SLX probably adds a fair bit of weight but I had more than blown the budget when it came to buying the groupset.

oops, sorry about the massive image!

Uh-huh...'it is' something which would go very nicely with your (spare?) Sram RED compact....around say mid July...for the Etape Acte II...

Sorted - thanks to el tonto's bike maintenance skills it is now sporting a set of training wheels, a ladies saddle and pedals - woop!
And a massive thanks to Dirk VooDoo for suffering all of my 'bikey' related questions during the 'Which Bike to Buy' saga, for making bike jargon/parts understandable (often involving diagrams & metaphors) & providing lots of valuable bike cleaning/maintenance advice - patience of a saint Dude!

You see them everywhere you go and they do have 'the Lance connection' but they still make very good road bikes imo.

manafana

for the price trek's retail at id hope they are good bikes.

My beloved cube should be back 2moro from its service.

Flip the stem, drop the spacers and cut the Steerer. Will look a lot better. The stem seems quite long for what is a small frame and with such little seat post showing. Some shallower bars would look a lot nicer on it also. Still a lovely bike though.
Edit: I mean bars that are shallower and have less reach also. The shifters are miles away from the saddle in comparison to where the pedals are. Also, difficult to tell from the angle and the white on the saddle, but is the saddle level?

It looks fantastic! Maybe get rid of the forward slashes and lower the case a bit, should be more aerodynamic that way.

Nice file extension too!

here's mine. nearly 2 years old. a lot of millage up on it and in dire need of a service but it has stood me well
