Boards users bike fleets - with added chat!

The fleets thread was created as a result of disquiet over chat in the images of beauty thread (which is still live around here);)

Well, there were two reasons: no penis-swinging (whatever that means) and no random-pic-off-the-web stuff.

So now we have three threads:

- Boardsie bike - with chat
- Boardsie bikes - no chat
- Images of Beauty - everything

So it seems like the IoB thread could be renamed to something like "Images of Beauty - no boardsie bikes" and that can be the safe space where we argue the toss over whether something is hot or not without accidentally offending someone who posted their own bike.

Just a suggestion.

Just for a split second when reading the above I though you wrote Images of Beasty :eek:

There is one of those too. :pac:

New bike has been sorted, for years I was renting and was limited to 2 bikes, not anymore. Gradually building up the numbers, hopefully a cross and an alu bike next.

Winter bike, Scott cr1 pro, Ultegra DI2, mix and match of bits and pieces I have. Moved to winter bike when I got a new bike, mudguards only put on



Triathlon bike. Got it recently second hand, pain to work on but love how it looks. Trek speed concept 7.5, have a set of FLO 60's and a FLO disc to go on it.



And the newest addition. Cannondale supersix evo. Bought and built up over the last few months. Sram etap with a dura ace crank. Hasn't been used on the road yet but looking forward to the good weather so I can get out on it

Latest addition to my fleet. A mixed bag of parts from various bikes that were chopped and changed over the last few years. Picked up the frameset on Adverts for a price that was too good to pass up even though I wasn't actually looking for anything - the danger of bored browsing. I've wanted a 10 for a long time but never got around to purchasing as they seemed pricey for the spec of the standard builds.

2011 CAAD10 58
- Chorus11 RD, FD, shifters
- Chorus10 chainset, WheelsMFG BB30 adaptor cups
- Athena11 brakes
- Eurus/Zonda wheel combination with GP4000SII
- 3T Rotundo Pro bars
- DedaElementi stem
- eBay carbon seat post
- Selle Italia X1 saddle

17lbs/7.7kg as pictured on the bathroom scales test. Happy with that for a training/commuting bike. Massively easy to lose another 250/300g very cheaply with a Kalloy stem, Hylix seat post, light saddle, and latex tubes if I want to.

Very impressed with how it rides for an aluminium frame. It completely lived up to all expectations and hype. And more than that it left much more of an impression on me after an initial 25km shakedown spin earlier in the week than my 2016 SuperSix Hi-Mod did on its first spin.

Latest addition to my fleet, which has been 2.5 years in the making. It's a 1980/1981 Carlton Super Course that an uncle of mine bought new, thoroughly used, and let fall into disrepair. What I thought would be a very quick revamp turned into a major project of procrastination.

I needed to buy a few new parts - saddle, seat post, front fork as the original was bent, and I had to have the front wheel rebuilt with a new hub. Plus the usual finishing kit consumables - chain, cables, tape, hoods, tyres. Nothing out of the ordinary.

7 speed 12-21 cassette, 53x42 up front, Suntour Cyclone derailleurs, Weinmann 605 brakes and levers. Only took it for a quick 5k this evening. Hard to describe. Heavyish slowish but a very, very ... happy bike!

Lovely bike Colm, loving the colour! I was only thinking you'd nearly gone a year without buying another bike

PIcked up this Genesis CDA 20 from ThinkBike this morning - some lovely little details on it like the top tube & seat cap designs.

Took the winter bike out of reverse hibernation. Full Mishmashno 10spd with Mavic Open Pros. It was so nice out I even left the mudguards off!
