My New Steed.

[White Noise]

Scott CR1. Not the ultimate in modern machines but it's my first carbon frame and tbh I could never go back to anything less now. It'd be like going back to prussiking after using the VT......

 

18Ilbs and really responsive, loving it.

 

Stuff yer mountain bikes.

 

Anyone else into road bikes ?[/quote

 

 

Looking fit for an old un. Nice bike That was said in a manly fashion .

[PhilBeech]

Post up a pic or two. I'd like to know what you think of the Sram groupset aswell.....

 

Will do

[Paul Barton]

Nice bike Mick!

 

I bought a bike a couple of months ago...I have only had mountain bikes before but ended up doing more long road rides than gnarly single tracks.

 

I am loving the new one - it's just as tiring but you get there quicker:biggrin:

Here's my road bike, don't get far in a hurry on this but it's most comfortable.

Kustom Kruiser made by GT

[Mark Bolam]

You're mental Wane, that clearly has no brakes.

 

Even to a total non-bike nut like me Mick, that looks the business!

 

Ride out here for a couple with me and Steve one weekend.

[High Scale]

Coaster brake Mark.

Hi Mick, that's a cracking steed,I've always been a roadie and not very interested in mountain bikes. I'm sure it'll serve you well mate, never ridden carbon my last bike was a Klein Quantum Race, ali alloy and ultra stiff-too stiff for all day comfort.

 

Bought a Look 595 frameset(cofidis) last year with a view to build my ultimate road bike but had to sell to cover a tax bill:thumbdown:

 

No experience of sram I"m afraid but read very good reports.

 

So, a century ride this weekend?

 

Bit of a derail but are you following the vuelta?

It's a peddle back brake, like the old days, takes a bit of getting used to at first, but to be honest you cant get anywhere that quick it!

I must be on ignore, COASTER BRAKE!

[Mark James]

Hate road riders with a passion as it just doesn't look normal grown men riding around in lycra, and it gets worse when they start wearing sponsors like there in the tour de France.

Sitting on country B roads 4 abreast, every year a group of them gets wiped out, they think theres safety in numbers until some car driver go's straight through them.

I will be sticking to the woods where the worst can happen is me hitting a tree or running over a Labrador.
