Fair play mate, my weekly mileage aim is 100 and that's been a bit of a struggle due to the season let alone 70 a week on fixed, good luck! In lieu of longer rides I've turned to the dark side and went KOM hunting instead. Grabbed one on a short uphill last week and I'm pretty sure the guy I...

£95 from the listing I saw! Would grab it in an instant if it was local (and a hair smaller) 😂

Spent a good half hour digging with no luck, was gonna say Kinesis at first but theirs was Racelight, looks like a few companies did variations of that name but couldn’t find any matches for the frame. Wayback machine for the site on the seatstay didnt yield anything either sadly. Guess Ultegra...

Gotta love the spacer above the stem, wouldn't want anything too high would we 😂

Early morning rides never get old, especially on the coast. Quite funny seeing how many of the fair weather folk have disappeared and arguably one of the most popular routes that'd easily get 50 riders a day as per strava segments dwindling down to a handful. Then again I suspect you have to be...

Price and novelty aside, who on earth is the target audience for 58/44 chainrings on what is essentially a folding commuter, retired TT champions?!

Similar here although being in the UK I expect it to be colder than it actually is, last few rides set off early wrapped up pretty well and within 20 minutes of being out end up having to stop and take layers off. Been trying some autumn/winter kit from the brand Ykywbike on Aliexpress after...

Birthday ride today, had spent a while plotting a good 100 mile route and then proceeded to have the most disturbed sleep of all time. Still felt good enough for a decent effort but not the century sadly. Set off 6:30AM; expected it to be cold so wrapped up with balaclava, gloves, shoe covers...

@novocaine your size?

I remember you having a struggle to get them on last year, the icetools levers had mine on in a minute! Well worth a fiver.

GP5000s haven't let me down yet (bar riding into an ice patch earlier in the year), no qualms going out when it's wet and the roadside is full of foliage etc. Just had a short spin out to break in a fresh set for the season. 19.5 miles, hair over an hour, 13c and a bit of a breeze. Could've got...

not a patch on trigger..

Bought off marketplace a couple weeks back but previous ankle injury means I can’t really get away with them and prefer the touring/platform spd pedal. No play, spin nicely, tension adjusters fine etc, could’ve been new or atleast passed for new when I got them. Will take better pics of...

Second longer shakedown ride actually in daylight this time which allowed for some better pictures of the completed build. Building in the back is Ryhope Engine Museum, pumping station built in the 1860s. Shut in 67 but everything kept working by volunteers, listed building etc. Had seen the...

Worth mentioning the geometry/measurements/etc for said top end frames is likely to be floating around online so should easily be able to compare measurements from a fit to those of the frame and see if it's workable, but as above it doesn't always give you the right answer as fit is obviously...

Short shakedown at sunset. Small early birthday gift to myself, the Felt frameset seemed a little on the small side so picked up a 55 Vitus frameset along with a new front mech as frame is braze on mount. Very short 8 miles but feels nice to be back on carbon 🚀 No major flaws from the...

Are you looking to get something custom made or asking in regards to building up a specific frame? Both carbon framesets I've had (2014/2015) used tapered steerers. UDH is afaik thru axle/boost spacing. Front mech clamps still use common sizes, newest top spec di2 stuff offers clamp mount...

In a similar mindset; had my 2013 Bianchi wrote off and without going into massive detail a new for old replacement is approx 3.4k which either the group representing me can supply a new bike or I can accept the 3.4k later alongside personal injury. At first I was excited at the thought of a...

Decided to go give Crawleyside a crack again, seemed a good way to judge how much fitness I've gained back (or lost) as that was one of the last big rides I'd done prior to accident and it's a good measure of fitness at around a 70 mile trip with 5000ft of elevation! Didn't take a massive amount...

No big miles today, saw it was meant to piss it down thjis aft so I thought yeah quick 25/30 miles or so. Set off, five mins later: Nothing gets the heartrate up like swapping a tube at the side of a 50 road! Got it done relatively quick (for gp5000 standards anyway) but wanted to avoid the...
