    New road bike/training bike. Big step up from my last road bike, looking forward to getting out on it now.

    You'd think they could at least throw in a set of pedals! :rolleyes:

    Very best of luck with her BTH, she's a beauty. Rubber side down, remember.

    So christmas came and even though I said I wouldn't be getting anything new for the bike I ended up with a new to me bike. Was originally interested in the wheels but ended up getting the whole bike. Not sure what the plan is with it yet, will probably set the frame up on the turbo and use the wheels on the Argon 18. Could do with some new tyres and tubes first and have a bit of cassette swapping to do. Few nice parts on it too like ultegra brake calipers so the road bike could be getting some upgrades too!

    So had day off today so done a bit of mixing and matching on the bikes. New HED frame is now set up on the turbo. Cassettes swapped over and disc and tri spoke put on the Argon. Brakes will need to be adjusted but not sure how long they will stay on, will probably swap back to the regular wheels for now. Anyway here's a pic of it with the new wheels

    That's a mean looking bike. Looks like it would beat up other bikes in T1 and steal the change from their saddle bags.

    Great bike, all the best with it:)

    Every other picture here has something you can give a smartarse comment to- lawn needs cutting, skirting needs paint... but yours is absolutely perfect. Fresh coat of paint on the background wall, no visible moss between house and path; even that one small stem of leaves by the wheel looks deliberate and artistic.

    The first rule about the rules is that you don't question the rules.

    Were you at DCT with this? I may have commented on it either while I was checking bikes heading in transition or at the mount line

    I was and you did - at check in and mount. It was only when I got through check in that I twigged who you were. Hence my Green & Red comment at the mount line :D

    Nice retro jersey, even if it was a Mayo jersey :pac:

    New bike, saddle and bars still to be sorted out and steerer tube cut. Frame is Scott CR1 pro with Mavic Kysrium Elite S wheels, Shimano Ultegra Di2 and then bits and pieces for the rest. Didn't start out to try make it very light but weighs around 7.5kg so pretty light.
