    I'm sure people will tell me it doesn't belong in this thread, but it's my first proper road bike and personally I think it's a stunner:P

    Winter Bike (still in progress - need fatty tyres)

    Managed to salvage everything from my planet-x, including the bar tape.

    Very happy with that ribble frame...cheap as chips, decent ride quality and it came in blue!

    My new machine, which was a gracious wedding present from my now wife. I've always wanted a Wilier. My riding ability doesn't really justify the Ultegra Di2 but it's a one time only purchase.

    She doesn't have a sister but she has a brother. I'm sure he'd be open to approaches, he's still single :) She was pretty cool when it came to the bike, I think I managed to double the original budget. She's a definite keeper, both of them.
