Those wheels really make that bike. If you were riding Ksyriums or those Specialized Rovals under it I'd hate it. Well done!

Every ass is different. Some saddles are more comfortable up, some are more comfortable down...that's why they can be tilted.

Hi, I'm new to this forums, these are my bikes:
2006 Jumpertrek, bought it used last week, I know, it's not top of the notch ride, but it features Campagnolo Xenon group, Miche Team brakes and drive train, Rodi Stylus Racing rims. Previous owner "pimped" it a bit, so it's got a carbon seat post and a shorter stem. Selle San Marco seat. Also, its been painted black over the parts that featured ugly jumpertrek stickers and red-white color combos. Tyres are still stock Vittoria Zaffiro. The bike's size is 56, I'm around 176cm in height and it fits me nicely, the seat is also great.
And now for some vintage stuff...
198x Rog Senior, size 60 (too big for me), but I still love to ride it, the back derailer is missing some parts so the chain falls down too frequently, I need to go to some local junkyard sale to find an old Favorit derailers... The bike is all steel of course, indestructible, 2x5 gears.
