Are you 4'8" or...?

I can't give you the mileage because I never really tracked it. But I did a lot of riding (for me) the past 2 years. I noticed the crack late last year and I'm sure it came from some of the hills I tackled. Keep in mind that I was about 248 when I started riding again and didn't have the strongest legs so I did a lot of pulling and jerking of the handlebars when climbing.

My newest torture device. 15 Altamira 2.0LE, ultegra shifters fd/rd and cassette with junk brakes and an fsa compact crankset, ordering ultegra brakes tomorrow and probably not going to worry about the crankset. 18lbs 10oz with carbon cages and carbon pedals. Could be lighter but I bought this one for the vibration killing features on chip seal and it's worth every penny there, being a bit lighter than my previous aluminum Roubaix was just another bonus. Yes the stem is ridiculous, I've had it 4 days and I've been tinkering with setup to see exactly where I want it before cutting. Once I got the seat perfect, I dropped the bars all the way again and this time it felt absolutely perfect. I'm going to do 40-50 in the morning and if it's still good I'll cut it.

Your seatpost is backwards.

Nothing wrong with older steel frame bikes. Heres my not new but not quite vintage 1992 Bianchi Forza:



Stay tuned for a resto/build thread

Here is my newish ride after I have done some adjustments.
Loving it right now. 2014 Specialized Roubaix Sport. Moved my Ultegra components over from my wrecked Cannondale SuperSix and put some slightly better wheels on. Didn't notice my goofy angle on my handlebars until I looked at this picture. Was going to post on Hot or Not, but knew that would have to be fixed first.

Loving the ride on this one.

Thats a beaut. I just wish Fuji and Cannondale would use Shimano cranks. I hate how they use FSA which ruins the whole idea of a "full gruppo"

Jeremy_S

Yup I know what you mean. I've already bought Ultegra brakes and I'm actually on my way to the bike shop right now to see if they have the 24-30mm adapter so I can run an Ultegra crank in that fsa bottom bracket. If not I'll just have to get an Ultegra bb as well and then it'll be good. I've already knocked a little over a pound off of it ready to ride, hopefully that will get me down into the 16's without replacing wheels and I'll call it good. Great riding bikes though.

Cannondale's look best with their own hollogram crank and spiderring chainring in my opinion. Oddly enough, it seems the garmindale team is using FSA crank/chainring this year because of their power meter. Totally ruins the looks of the bike...also, seems to say something about the Garmin Vector pedals, lol.

isuckatbiking

Only issue is the hollogram can only be obtained once you go pass a price point. I think >2300 which I think sucks.

The hollograms def do look nice. I still prefer the simplicity of the shimano cranks. The hollograms seem a bit too "busy"

Hi bike lovers.

My "Rabobank" Colnago C50, 2006. Record 10s group and hubs. Carbon rims. K-Force carbon stem/handlebar.

The best bike I have owned this far!




Keep calm and ride on.

SpeshulEd 

Mine came with hollogram cranks and fsa rings...that was the first thing I changed out. I still think they look better than shimano cranks, but hey, different strokes. I'd probably also go rotor cranks and praxis rings over shimano. I like the black drivetrain look.

isuckatbiking

Man thats a great paint scheme.

Different strokes for different folks indeed. If I was the designer of that bike, it would look 5x better if they only had cannondale stamped once on the downtube instead of having it on the seat tube and fork and if it had it had the dura ace crank. Thats not to say it doesn't look droolworthy as it stands right now

I'm a big fan of the recently spotted prototype cannondale. Thats simplicity at its finest. If it only came in your paint scheme. Oh man.

edit:
What pedals are those?

Jeremy_S

Ugh, that evo is sexy as hell. I want!

I wasn't able to locate the adaptors or a new bottom bracket today and the only ultegra cranksets I could find in stock were 53/39 and I'm a big fan of 50/34 compacts. Now I imagine I could turn the 53/39 but I've never actually owned on that I've ridden over longer rides with 2500 feet of climbing or so and I'm scared to drop that much cash on something I may need to unload if it turns out I need to have those 5 fewer teeth up front.

SpeshulEd 

Haha, I agree with you on the cannondale logo everywhere. I'm tempted to do a custom frame next time I get around to buying a new bike so it can be logo free.

Pedals are dura ace...I had money to waste when I bought them. I have enve 3.4's on the way, should have them by the weekend...then we'll post a photo in the hot 'r not threads.

Doctor Morbius

I'll be building up a new one over the next few months. Just received a warranty replacement frame today. Looks like I'm going to have to work on that steerer tube for sure.

MissyR

Picked these up the other day we never got many miles in thanks to the 40mph gusts! Looking forward to taking them a proper spin ^_^

My Orbea Orca





and my partners Orbea Avant





I will try get some better pics of them at a later date.

Pretty bikes!

Just getting back into road biking. Picked this up a couple days ago.

Cosmic Hawk

Finally got mine together today. Need a 10mm longer stem maybe and done!

My one and only: 2015 Specialized Tarmac Comp + Shimano Dura-Ace C24 + Conti GP4000S II

cderalow

you sir, appear to have a very short torso with gorilla sized arms & legs

Are you forgetting the aero bars?

Cosmic Hawk

I have long legs and arms and stand 6'3", but truth be told, I had only slapped the seat on there to take the pictures. It was much too high for me to actually ride it. The place I ordered all the parts from sent the wrong length stem as well, but of course I wasn't going to wait for the correct one to show up!

This is the TMR01 Road Bike. The TM01 is the Triathlon/TT bike.

SpeshulEd 

This. And it looks like you aeronova's or the similar enve/zipp aero road bars, so it's win win in my book. Good looking bike. Now quit cross chaining it!
