    A 60. TT is about 1cm longer than my Wilier.

    Just brought this in from Italy yesterday. I cut the headtube this morning, and gave her a maiden voyage. Very impressive.

    My new wheels.

    Love the white bars and seatpost. And the silver wheels look great with that frame.

    Well wear. The seatpost and stem are 'da bomb'
    Pure class.
    What Ksyriums are they.

    Got a pair myself recently with black spokes and I must say I love them. Really notice the difference when climbing.

    Where was the photo taken if I may ask. Beautiful backdrop.

    Thanking you! she's getting her first race tomorrow so we'll find then if she's any good.

    They're Ksyrium SLs, I was given them so I don't know much about them but there's a pic in Millar's book of someone winning a TDF stage with them so they must be alright.

    Pic taken this morning just past the 40 foot :)

    now that is a nice frame


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭shaydy


    That's a beauty!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 517 ✭✭✭rich.d.berry


    Just bought this 2nd hand. It's a Kingdom Imperial frame that was built for a promotional photo shoot, so it's practically brand new.

    It's got a nice spec for the price:

    Full Carbon Frame & Fork
    2012 Ultegra Compact Groupset
    3T Ergosium Bars & Stem
    Xero Wheels and Michelin Pro3 Race Tyres
    Kingdom Bike Carbon Seatpost and Fizik Arione Saddle
    BBB Carbon Bottle Cage

    It's not pretty, but I love the way it rides. Took it out for a 35 km spin after I got it home and I'm like a kid with a new toy. :)

    Rich.d.berry, that frame looks very much like my Ribble Stealth...:confused: Also knows as De Rosa R838 (?) etc. I love it!

    Took some photos with a decent camera while the sun was out yesterday. I just love the group set, it's a real step up from the Tiagra on my hybrid. I need to have a few niggles sorted by my LBS and then she'll be perfect. :D

    It also looks very much like the PlanetX SL Pro, that's the magic of open moulds :pac:

    Certainly it looks nice :)

    I rather like the fit and engineering that goes into the Cervelo's. Also the fact that they are plain are somewhat less liable to look out of date at a later stage.

    Cervelo S1 - Training bike, Dura Ace 7800 mostly with Powertap rear and Open Pro Rims.
    [IMG]http://www.waterfordracingclub.com/images/NIKON3100DTEST 060.jpg[/IMG]

    Cervelo S2 - SRAM Red Black mostly, Zipp 808's.
    [IMG]http://www.waterfordracingclub.com/images/NIKON3100DTEST 067.jpg[/IMG]

    Cervelo R3 SL - SRAM Red, Reynolds DV46UL T (This one is crazy light).
    [IMG]http://www.waterfordracingclub.com/images/NIKON3100DTEST 074.jpg[/IMG]

    Cervelo P4 - Mostly SRAM Red Black, Zipp 900/808

    There are 1st generation Ultegra hubs on open 4 CD rims (the pre cursers to Open pros) the closest you could get now would be Ulterga hubs on open pro rims.
