Why? I mean you took a department store bike with shotty frame craftsmanship and threw a whole bunch of parts on it. Here is what you should do. Put those parts on a worthy frame.

It's so fast on the road- I easily keep up with roadies in their Cervelo and Pinarello feathers. On dirt- I have to admit my skills need to match this bike's speed, still. It will be fun learning to catch up!

Nice bike. What I'm REALLY interested in is the Morris Minor woody!

That looks like a blast. Any further details, aside from the Ultegra crankset?

It makes me proud to see such a new bike so muddy already.
Oh, before I forget. Remember back on page 88 how I said my giant glory climbed pretty good? Yeah, well I'm a big fat liar, and these hills are sending me to hell.

Actually, it is an Austin Mini, much smaller than a Morris.

I don't post much, and I don't think I've posted a pic yet so here goes:
It's an Anthem-W (cus I'm a short girl). Changed a few things, wheels, crankset, Masterpiece seatpost and Raceface NEXT SL carbon bars. Yea the pedals are really old (like from the 90's) Time Carbons but they work great so they were the only thing I took from my old ride, a Proflex 856.
