I got off used off Ebay with the front der. and crank, and roadbikereview guys for Chinese carbon frames said it was a FLYXI FR-302.

Here is my cannondale bad boy on the way to work a few days ago. I won't complain about my commute. I have the privilege to go from one end of Honolulu, HI to the other "Waikiki". Just have a bunch of distractions along the beaches.

A Chinarello... as they are called.

Pinarello (as well as many other companies) has had many issues with fake Dogmas being sold but it serves them right for outsourcing their production to China where intellectual property rights mean nothing and labour rates are a fraction of what some some unemployed Italian tradesperson might make.

The bike looks great btw.

Great picture and an awesome bike.

I am thinking about getting Chinarello as a decal.

Here is my brand new commuter. It is a 2013 Nashbar Cyclocross bike. Frame and fork are 4130 chromoly. Right now it is completely stock so it is slightly on the heavy side. Wheels and tires are about 5lbs alone, but when you are riding you barely notice the weight at all. I will be putting the velocity A23 probuild wheels on them and that should take a few lbs off, but for $639 with shimano 105 shifters, derailleurs, and cogs I think it is totally worth it. Just had it framesavered up and it is ready for duty.

A CF fork might be a worthy upgrade for that also.

Actually there is no need for it due to high-volume tires that usually come with CC bikes. By the looks of his bike those are at least 700*32.

I have a full aluminium CC bike, and was sure that CF fork will be the first upgrade. Now, after three months and about 1000 miles later I see no point with 700*32 tires, and less than 6 bar in them. I ride road, gravel and single track (60/30/10%).

Here's my new daily ride, a Giant Escape 2:



This is my second bike as an adult, and the first one I've bought new. Difference between this and my old (but still dearly loved) 20yo mtb is huge.

The Moulton got a proper British saddle... I think that Wright's dates to the 1930's and I have worn it down so much the imprint is all but gone and hung the new Carradice bag which I think matches up so nicely.

Here's my rig parked outside of the Trek Store of Tampa, aka: work.

Once a week I strap on the quick release seat-post rack and trunk on the back with some fresh laundry and I take advantage of the shower we have in house. The rest of the week its just a seat-pack with a spare tube, levers, useful wrenches, keys, wallet, small snack (diabetic). I strap my U-lock and cable to the pack, post, and saddle, carry a small pump on the DT, and bright/rechargable Serfas lights and my iPhone riding Lifeproof up front.

I swapped the Kenda 35 knobbies it came with for some Kenda 28 slicks I had on the Torker U-District fixie I was riding before but other than that and the stuff strapped to it, its stock.

It's a solid, sporty, steel bike that rides smooth. I just got it a couple weeks ago and should be breaking the 200 mile mark tomorrow on my first long ride!

I recently had my '78 Trek TX700 repainted and built it up with a mostly DA 10 speed drivetrain. She is a great long distance rig and I will use her to commute on days were I don't need to carry anything into work, which is most of the time. I do plan on adding a front rack to accommodate a small duffel bag if needed, as well as fenders this fall.

Awwesomm Bicycle Pics. This is like a new mother's gallery. Fortunately I took pictures with me and friends. Friend Pete. Great runner and good cyclist with the chance.

PatrickGSR94

Wow I'm really loving the looks of this bike. Classic build with modern grouppo, doesn't get much better than that!

Beautiful rig !

Snapped this pic on yesterday's commute home:

this is my daily commuter, i think late 80's early 90's Miele.

the sci guy 

you're tall.

tigerteeuwen

surprised someone noticed how tall the bike is, i was quite surprised and happy when i bought the bike from a guy on the local classifieds. I am 6' 5.5"

drorgo

It is kind of hard to miss!

himespau 

More to the point, you're flexible. At 6'3, I have a bad enough back that I don't think I'm going to ever be using downtube shifters.

RubeRad

The story is told by how much higher the toptube line is than the top of the tires. Also the length of the headtube.

It's great you found a frame to fit you; many tall dudes like yourself would have settled for (or been steered towards!) a smaller frame such that they need a mile of seat tube, and the stem pointed way up instead of mostly forward, like you have it.

Definitely not as nice as some of the bikes I see in this thread, but here's mine. Also serves as my trail bike. Built it up from parts I found on broken bikes in my garage and some Nashbar/Pricepoint stuff. Running up to 4000 happy miles in the last 2 years!
