its been a busy week. Bought a cyclocross, sold a road bike and picked up a frame to build up a city bike.
the frame is a dolan frame, not sure of model, with a 1 inch carbon look fork. To it I added an 8 speed sora rear derailer, soras compact chainset, ricthey ds wheels with conti ultra sport tyres, tektro r580 brakes, some 8 spd mtb brifters and straightish bars.
I need to add a braze on derailer on the front, but overall, im very happy with it. It rides extremely well, and I like the looks.
Frame as I got it
Built up
I need to cut the steerer and maybe add some kind of mudguard.0 -

My first bike, bought last month in LBS. A KTM Stada 3500 upgraded with Mavic Ksyrium SLs. Love it.
Basic spec: carbon body, 105 Groupset, mavic Ksyrium SL tyres with Continental gatorskins, shimano pedals, selle italia saddle.0 -
my updated winter commuter.
new wheels built by holyboy (the gold rear dia compe hub was going cheap!), with a shimano n80 dynohub with b+m cyo 60 lux.
phillips LED as back up.
first time riding fixed (before this incarnation the bike had a freewheel), and have covered a bit of distance so far, including over 90km today. i like it. gearing is 48-18
saddle bag is a barley.
yes the gold looks a bit silly, but it'll brighten up the winter!0 -

I just washed my fleet...
Weather forecast for tomorrow is pretty good, might take the BMC out for one last club run before putting it away and sticking to the SS winter bike with full length mudguards...oh the difference they make! :rolleyes:0 -
The fleet as of this morning, minus one Ridley Eos which now lives abroad.
Raleigh Elan is now all dressed in black for the winter.
Benotto is resting up until spring.
Bianchi for dry commutes.
All are steel frame. Hopefully there will be an addition soon which will change that.0 -

My first road bike for 15 years - I've been mountain-biking in between, but I was doing more and more on the road so decided to get:
A standard (mostly Rival group) Planet X SL Pro from the lads in Athlone. Very happy with it so far!

here's a better picture (the last one was with crappy phone) with it all adjusted up (but I still need pedals)
specs are:
fuji track 2.0
alloy framer
carbon forks
fuji branded stem, bars and seatpost.
oval saddle
fuji branded wheels with fixed/fixed hub
vittoria slick tyres
48 15 gearing
fsa fuji branded crankset with 144 bcd
all in all im very happy with it. I did track accreditation earlier in the year along with a couple of sessions and really liked it. Cant wait to get back on the track on this bike and try it out. im sure its way better than me! I may also use it for some time trials with an aero cockpit and some brakes. The local league TT is flat. ill be buying new chainrings and sprockets and a few other bits n pieces before I start racing it.0 -

guess its about time i put my fleet up, some of them are semi clean for once so no better time
dirtiest first so:
Boardman Team comp 2010 (i think), surprisingly nice bike, very nimble just have to get that rear cable changed
Lapierre pro race 200 2011, nice light alu HT, with some upgrades could be a really good bike
Bionicon Edison ltd 2010, the first proper bike i ever owned, ive done everything from xc races to downhill on it and it did everything amazingly, no end to the stuff i had to fix on it when i first got it, but because of that ive become a competent bike mechanic thanks bionicon
KTM Ratchet 2012, first proper DH rig ive owned, savage machine, its too much machine for me really, in a proper rippers hands it would be deadly
right onto the road bikes:
Cannondale CAAD 10 2011, what a bike, couldnt believe the weight off it when i first got it (considering its alu), changed the cockpit to kore and ritchey stuff, put a lovely FSA k-force chainset on it with some look keo blade carbon peddles, planning on getting some nice wheels and changing the drivetrain to sram red (money allowing)
Vitus Razor 2012, havnt gotten out on this yet hence the flat peddles and wrong saddle height/shifter position, was only around 700 quid so was a decent enough deal
right time to put some security cameras up :pac:0 -

Oh great, a chance to show off
Here is my AM / Enduro bike. A 2008 Giant Trance X that I bought on Adverts early last year to take part in the new Enduro MTB series. The frame was in great condition but the components were all a bit scabby although functional. An unplanned strip and rebuild ensued and I ended up with a nice machine that I love to ride.
My XC bike (2011 Cube LTD race) that I got on the bike to work scheme and that I used in a few XC races in 2012 and won the S4 Leinster league. It has served me well for the last couple of years as I really got into MTB but since getting the Trance its more or less sits happily in the shed. Will use it again this year when I do a few NPS races. Will also be back on it for its 3rd attempt at the Cooley thriller.
My recently stolen Cube Aerial. Loved riding this thing in and out of work trying to get PRs and Strava top tens. It was nearly a year to the day when some punk stole it. Had clocked up 3500k on her and was lookng to upgrade as was tired of the triple ring and the Sora group.
Now my current steed Rose 2000 Pro. Really enjoying this over the Cube. Love the full 105 and she just seems like a different class of bike. Not sure if its in my head but for the same effort it eats the miles. The Cube was very basic without even a carbon fork so this is an upgrade in every way. I hope to have many many mile on it this year.

Here's my new arrival, a Fuji Altamira. Only had spins on her so far and love it.

Decided to give the bikes a scrub today. So, while they're still sparkly, I thought I'd post on here:
my first road bike. Cube Aerial with sora triple. Really comfortable bike...
My new(ish) addition. Ridley Orion with 105 compact. Perhaps not so comfy, but a tad quicker..

New bike built up and ready to go!
BMC Race Machine rm01 in Gulf GT40 colours
SRAM Force groupset, bb30
Pro RC50 50mm tubs, conti gp4000 tyres, ultegra cassettes, swissstop yellow pads
Ritchey WCS bars and stem
Its bloody quick, and an absolute pleasure to ride. Its responsive, light (circa 7kg) very aggressive position (ill wait until im 100% happy with the bar height before choppiong the fork steerer), turns in and gets up to speed really well. Its very comfy, and very stiff. I dont want to race it, i just want to ride it for hours. LOL0 -
My fleet has seen another slight shuffle in recent weeks....sold my On-One Pompino to make way for a geared CX bike....
Picked this up off a good friend for the right money...a giant TCX with ultegra 5500 53/39 chainset, unknown shimano front mech, xtr rear mech, sora LH shifter, 9 speed ultegra RH shifter, funny sized 25mm handlebars and a carbon seatpost.
As part of the deal, he threw in a pair of DA7800 shifters and a 10 speed chain so I could run it with my other 10 speed wheels, and here she is now with a fancy FSA stem and new €12 FSA handlebars courtesy of CRC...
Badly in need of a white saddle and some pedals to finish it off, but I'm relatively chuffed and looking forward to trying out some CX! It's also doubling up as a commuter/winter trainer

It definitely doesn't belong in the images of beauty thread, so here it goes instead.
I finished putting this together from a bunch of previously unconnected parts, and have been pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it rolls. I like it.
