that said, i wouldn't dare post my bike in the hot or not thread, so who the heck am i to talk?

LOL....you really know how to kick a man when he's down eh? ;)

KMC X10SL's are my favorite chain. Pretty much all I use.

lol, no hard feelings? honestly, those two bikes make a pretty sweet stable, they're both modern classics imo. i quibble with your aesthetics, but that's meaningless.

Not the slightest...I've seen a lot of bike porn in this thread...some I wouldn't dare ride and some I would be give my left testicle for. It's all good.

Not a road bike, but beautifully simple nonetheless ...

I've had several single speeds. I ride them on roads and even *gasp* on group rides with other roadies. :) I've posted them all over this forum and I think even in this thread.

raven. You got another bike now? I always love the TCR in blue. Great looking bike with those zipps.

ravenmore 05-16-11 07:49 AM

Thanks! Yeah, still have the Giant. I've made a few changes but for the most part it still looks the same. Did 70 miles on it yesterday. :) I also have an S-Works E5 now and go back and forth between the two.

I have no problem with a ss/fg bike in this thread. I user mine for road riding all the time.

Here's my ride. And my old ride that I just gave to my younger brother because he didn't have a bike. He told me he doesn't like it because it's too fast :p

My new bike (with bell because I was pulled over by the cops and given a warning)

Hot BMC... I'd consider and SLX for my next road bike. Did you build it up yourself with the Soul's and Rival or buy it complete? They seem affordable which is what I'll be looking for when the time comes later this year. Any idea of the weight with your configuration?

Thanks. I got it complete on sale from competitive cyclist earlier this year. The bike came with Mavic Aksium Race wheels and I changed them to the Soul set afterwards. I'm not sure what the current weight is.

You were pulled over for not having a bell?! I can think of a hundred other things a police officer could be doing. Either that or no crime occurs in your town.

Good choice :thumb:. Hot. Same thing here, though I just bought the frame and built it up. Already posted months ago, but BMC's should always be posted.

I was actually pulled over for speeding and was given a warning for not having a bell or lights. Now I have a bell and I only put the lights on if I'll be out within half an hour of sunrise or sunset (I checked the law lol).

About a week ago a cop told me "the blinkies!" as i rode by (around 9PM). I had the back blinky on but forgot to put the front one. Stopped, put the front blinky on and carried on. I found the cop's comment cool, caring about the cyclists' safety.
