I think this just about scrapes into this section. I've had it for a few years but never posted about it because it's a bit too new for the rest of the forum.
I only got the bare frame and married it up with an early TCR fork. Initially I ran it with risers and 10-speed SRAM X7, which is cross-compatible with 10-speed Rival. The idea being I could run a big knee-friendly cassette and be free to interchange between risers for a bit of fun and drops for all the serious. Here's a shot fitting it up with Monkey Bars and Jag:
So it's 25mm tyres absolute max. Mike Burrows wheels and Corima 4-spoke depending on the mood. Vintage Pinarello carbon seatpost and Unicanitor saddle. Pink cables. Eventually it ended up all Rival, including the brakes, which made a HUGE difference to the stopping power.
Here it is in a disused wind tunnel:
Here it is in a disused aero facility, standing on the edge of the boundary layer air curtain, balanced on the edge of an Aero. LOL GEDDIT?
Anyway, it comes out from time to time. It's not the most comfortable bike to ride and it's a little small. I quite like the fact that it doesn't rust, though. Currently got the risers on it. Might ride it to work on Thursday since my current daily needs a bit of attention.
