It could do with a finishing kit overhaul, but its lovely nonetheless

Lovely! Where did you find it in the end?

Ole Rodrigo · 25-04-2013 03:06PM

Slane cycles - only the one left and in the right size.

It came ' fixed' as standard, which is taking a bit of getting used to.

Very nice!

You'll come to enjoy fixed great riding I reckon

Ole Rodrigo · 25-04-2013 03:13PM

Bit daunting at first, especially at traffic lights and downhill - but I think you could be right !

The BTW scheme does not care which shop you get your bike from.

taxfreebikes do and therefore my employers do too!

I'm not sure about the white pedals:o.
Upgrades for 2013 - Ultegra DI2 (new version with battery in seat-tube) and Ultra-torque carbon cranks:

The 2013 incarnation is lovely Paul - is it DI2 compatible - or did you have to get creative?

Nothing Black and Decker couldn't handle, though my nerves were a bit frayed by the end.

Love the principia range of bikes. It's the name I think and the style to boot. Looked at one a couple of months ago but could not get the size I needed for the right money. Was gutted at the time.

Just finished gluing on the Maxxis tubulars.

Dying to weigh the bike now:

i think its difficult to make the curves of specalized frames look good but that is very nice.

You will have to do something about those pedals

It's not a bad performer. Mind you, the SL4 corners better.

DirkVoodoo · 27-04-2013 04:24PM

What's the gizmo over on the left Dave? Can we get some vanity shots of the rest of the kitchen?

I like those units, great looking finish to the whole thing.

Bike looks sweet too.

If you could post the same picture without the SL4 that'd be great

colm_gti · 27-04-2013 05:31PM

Is that a lock on the press to the right of the cooker?

Think Lance had one of those

Bread machine? Centrifuge?

That would be something; a Dave's Kitchen thread, curiously located in
Home>Sports>Cycling.

The item left is not a centrifuge. The centrifuge is behind the hidden door in the basement - next to the oxygen tent. Alas, what you see is merely a toaster oven. On this side of the pond, kitchens tend to have toaster ovens as opposed to your bog-standard toaster that you have at home. They're crap at making toast. Rather good at other small baking/roasting tasks.

Weighed the bike today. 15.04lbs.

I should never have bought that super-fat Lizard Skin bar tape :P

Zyzz · 27-04-2013 07:56PM

What is the weight of the oven? Whats the ride comfort like etc?

happytramp · 27-04-2013 08:00PM

Lovely bike and oven combo.

Perhaps you could settle an argument between me and my girlfriend. She thinks the oven would cost more than the bike, I disagreed. It got quite heated.

Lovely looking bike! Just looking at your saddle, Is it a toupe and if so where did you get it? I was looking for one in that exact colour scheme.

Switch the bleedin' thing off then

Anyway, it doesn't compare to Raam's kitchen which, I believe, holds the record for appearances in this thread ...
