    thanks. I got it from hollywoodhoppy, he was selling it recently - new it's about 1200 sterling.
    I weighed it sans saddlebag and it's 8.2kg.
    I like it, but I've only been on it twice so far :)

    All the trusty steeds (bar one) in one go. It's hard to see where one ends and another begins :)

    That bullit is a tasty rig - nice one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,886 ✭✭✭Alkers


    The stem took a bit of getting used to alright, was very twitchy when I started using it. Weird thing is I think the bike was used off road before I got hands on it, can't imagine that was pleasant with a stem that long.
    Bullit is great fun alright, it's damn heavy though and the geometry is all wrong for climbing. Worth it coming back down though.:D Most annoying thing with it though is no bottle cage, if I'm nightriding, I have to carry the battery for my lights on my person.

    Savage. What's the cervelo lurking in the background?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭Gavin


    Nevermind the Cervelo, why does that rockhopper not get used!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭Raam


    The Cervelo is an R3. The Rockhopper belongs to the missus, but it seems to be getting retired right now.

    Hey, how come you were in Madrid with your bike? And the fixie!? I have never been abroad with a fixie. I do hope the mudguard was not necessary.

    Hi
    Im wondering if anyone could help me with info on this bike. Im guessing its from the early eighties although possibly older and was originally purchased in Ottowa. The groupset is mixed campagnolo/Shimano/Miche
    I attached a picture of a Colnago Roger de Vlaeminck Paris-Roubaix and im thinking it might be a down the range version of that because of the similar stickers and what looks like a small Colnago sign on the left of the headtube.
    There is a website for Roger de Vlaeminck bikes but its not much help.

    th_93459_08_122_171lo.jpgth_93463_DSCF0159_122_1154lo.jpgth_93474_DSCF0160_122_177lo.jpgth_93483_DSCF0161_122_116lo.jpg


    Cheers for any help

    Its also possibly looking for a new home if anyone is interested
