What road bike do you have?

It's still a beautiful Colnago...
In the wind
Hi Mercator: You may be correct re the Chainwheel and it has the Cloverleaf Drillium Symbol at the spokes, the Gear Levers too, but the Seat Stem is Pantographed with Colnago Symbol with coloured Grooves if you look carefully. Looking in the brochures of the time the Eddy Merckx model had the same Drillium Chainwheel. Regards Peter.

I got my first ever new road bike over the weekend. I've been wanting a new bike for around 10yrs (I've had my M2 since '98) and I've had the $ since around March and I've been waiting for this bike since they announced the line in early July. Only got in a brief ride on Sunday. Love it. 2018 Synapse - Dura-Ace. Changed the lettering to green using a Cameo Silhouette (vinyl cutter) and lot of work with the design software and photo-shop.

2018 Lynskey R260 with Ultegra Di2 and hydraulic disc brakes. Ultegra 8000 pedals. Put my Brooks B17 saddle on it, the bottle cages, lights, tool bag, etc. Put a pair of Compass "Stampede Pass" 32mm tires on it.
Just got it on Monday, maiden voyage yesterday, around 65 miles on it so far and loving it.
The huge tires and the huge Brooks saddle make the rest of the bike look oddly proportioned, but they're really nice and comfortable. Rides great, the Di2 is cool, I like having 11-speed (old bike was 9 speed) for closer shifting in my usual speed range.

FM-32 with November wheels and Sram Force 22.
All-City Spacehorse. I really like the Shimano 105. It is very quiet and shifts like butter, very nice. I am debating putting the Brooks saddle back on my mountain bike and installing a Sella SMP saddle on the Spacehorse.

Thank you sir! The cages are carbon/ti made by Cannondale. They're insanely hard to find and I don't think they were manufactured very long. you might be able to track some down though

Just pick up a Trek Emonda SLR6. Soo nice. It puts my SuperSix Evo to shame. It loves to climb hills and is so efficient.

A Time, one of the few manufacturers that make their own frames, one of the fewer that give you a free tour of their factory near Lyon and perhaps the only one that gives you a free meal as well !
I'll post a picture later
