Yea man, try full carbon and then let me know!

ParamountScapin 

I have. Trek 5200. Nice, but not the same. Sort of like a Corvette. Am sure I could get used to, though. Did not like the aluminum I've tried (Specialized and C'dale). But titanium is in a world by itself. Only takes one long ride to understand. 'Tis sublime.

Sweet how much?

Got this in mid April



I have been without a road bike since 1988 when I sold my last one while in college. Its good to be back.

are those the FSA RD-400 wheels? or is there another company that makes wheels with those numbers? how do you like them? did you look at the RD-600s?

poopypants

Just got new wheels from Mike Garcia (https://www.oddsandendos.com/) DT Swiss rims laced to some of his speedcific hubs, weighing in at around 1480g.[/QUOTE]

Man, that Abici is beautiful, where are those bikes from?

CRSO

2003 Santa Cruz Roadster. Bars were unadjusted for the pic. The seat was backwards to try the position out.

LordOpie

2003 Fuji Finest -- low-end bike (sora), but I like it. Upgraded de-rail to 105, wheels to Mavic Open Pro with Ultegra Hubs, Fly saddle, and Look pedals... was using SPDs, but with the long sweet climbs I've got here, the small pedals hurt too much.

ClevelandGuy

Hey dont pay any attention to this guy, in general he's a real JACK ASS. Looks like your very fond of your bike. enjoy,,, :-)

Davet

My stable. All Dave Kirk built, designed, or engineered bikes: Serotta Hors Categorie, Serotta Legend Ti ST and Kirk Terraplane

Phatman

okay, I'm jelous. you really ought to put the non-ergo drops from the green one on the red one and put the ritcheys on the green one.

what kind of cranks are those on the green and white ones? they look...tubular...

Davet

Phat; Green? The one in the middle is polished Ti. Maybe looks green on your monitor 'cause of the lawn.
The cranks on both Serottas are Tune, from Germany. The arms are round, solid aluminum, but pretty dang light.

The Ritcheys are on the Kirk, my long-distance bike. I really like the WCS bars, they have so many hand positions and are very comfortable.

Newboy

Nice bikes, all three! You lucky, lucky, lucky man!

Just got this 2nd bike about a month ago...got this frame instead of the new ones this year cause it's team ONCE. Built this with full Dura-Ace 2004, Tacx Tao water bottle cages, Mavic Open pro wheels with Pro Race tires, Look seatpost and Selle Italia SLR carbonio, the stem is proflie design cause i'm short on budget and the handle bar is 3ttt i belive. I love how this rides better than the P3 I got in the beginning of the year, this bike would be used for me to do some base training or even some local races (if I know how to join, the racing pograms in HK aren't that popular) before using the P3 for triathlons.

stephen283

For those who have seen my P3 before, this is the updated version of it... I took away the xlab saddlewing cause it's too heavy and not that useful afterall, changed the bars to the profile carbon-x (hopefully I can upgrade to a vision tech this summer, the new ones look cool), got a new saddle, it's selle san marco aspide triathlon gel, the rest stays the same... full ultegra except for the cervelo brakes.

Psyclist

My newest ride....only things I've added are a Selle Italia saddle and Shimano pedals....

I just got rid of my steel frame for a Scattante XRL and have swapped a few components here and there. Here is my new bike as of this weekend including my list of components.

All 105 shifting
Ultegra Brakes-Kool Stop (Black Compound)
Open Pro Wheels with Ultegra Hubs
Selle Italia Flite Gel-Flow Saddle
Ritchey Comp. Bars, Stem and Seatpost
Cateye Mity 8
Michelin Pro Race 700X23
Ultegra Pedals

Boomer

Great looking bike. The yellow w/ black looks awesome. Is the XRL carbon? Tell me about how it rides.

zman92atl

I love this bike compared to my other two Steel bikes that I have had. I dropped 3lbs. by switching out the frames. The ride is a little harsher but it doesn't bother me. I can't really give a comparison as I have never really ridden any Big Name bike or a another road bike other than the other two I had. The XRL is aluminum with a carbon fiber fork and integrated headset. I did however have two LBS's act a little negative about the headset that came with it. It's a Cane Creek, however they didn't seem to like the way it was suppose to assemble.

WAR85

How do you like your Cervelo? I'm thinking of a Cervelo SuperProdigy. Do you know anything about that bike?

stephen283

Yes I do like Cervelo bikes... espically their 2.5...that'll be my next goal, Overall I think that they make great bikes and althought i don't know much about the superprodigy, I'm sure u'll be happy getting it.

WAR85

What is the difference between a Triathlon bike and a Road bike?

stephen283

They have different geometry which focuses on different muscle groups to use while biking. A road bike would have a drop bar whereas a triathlon bike would have aerobars to be more aerodynamic.

Just purchased today. My first road bike: a brand new 2002 Bianchi Veloce.

Oh I can't wait to take it out.
