My bomb-proof commuter.
Light Blue Darwin frame

Amazingly comfortable Schwalbe 38c G-One Tubeless tyres
Cracking Fabric saddle with titanium rails

Just picked up a Defy Advanced Pro frame with the 2018 defy advanced spec on it. Pleased with how close it matches my big bike!

Hi all, I'm brand new here.
I picked up a Specialized Allez Sprint Comp in mid-July to get back into cycling - it had been more than a decade since I road regularly. ~780 miles on it since them and my only disappointment is that winter is coming very soon where I am.
Cheers,
Scott

I just built up a new bike - well moved the majority of bits off my 2015 Defy over to a 2018 Supersix. And of course, one ride later there's snow everywhere. It's not quite the bum in the air setup that many of you like, but it's the most comfortable I've ever been on a road bike. My other bike is a burly MTB (and the Defy frame hung on a wall awaiting sale).
My Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8.0 Di2.
Fresh with 28mm Conti GP5000's.
Rear mech changed to take an 11-34 cassette... ultimate climbing tool.

I think it was a branch line
(whatever one is)?
Appropriate post from the southern hemisphere.
Cracking bike though. Must be like riding on air.
My pair
Summer plasticy planet X RT80, no cassette im waiting on a new one
Winter bike Eastway R3.0 minus bar tape with its turbo trainer wheel
Here’s my latest build completed;
Just need some dry roads now....
PP

My newest bike and also my oldest. A refurbished 531 steel Dawes from the 90s. So smooth compared to my other carbon and Alu bikes.

First ride out on my new Vitus today; had it a week or so but it's only been on Zwift up until now:
Thanks to my wife for the bonus late-Christmas present! (She got one as well, it's not a ruse to get me out of the house more...)
As I’m new to the forum I’ll post my current road bike. The road bike isn’t often on the turbo, but that’s the only picture I’ve got. I’ve got 2 x mtbs as well but it looks like you can only upload one file per post?

My main mountain bike - bit heavier than the rest of the bikes on here at about 32lbs.....

XL Avanti Blade 8. Wet bike and shopping trolley.
Hub gearing. Really easy cleaning. Needs 5 bolts to finish front guard and rack with.
I really like the handlebars. Horns have flatspots that feet her upside down nicely.
28s. Going wider when they wear down.

Fixed 50t 16t with old dual pivot brakes front and rear (edited, tired when first written)
Fixed fixed hub 16/14. Dry weather commuter unless too difficult to ride. Been riding, love it, +7kmph immediate increase in average speed on flats compared to my other skinny wheel road bike. I like derailaurs but this is so addictive lying motionless with rest after ride with spinning legs feeling similar to a living still heart using caterpillar like muscle movement to retain blood flow while body recovers.
My mate lives up a hill, having to wait to gain strength.

You'll have to have a root around there, it's a little out of dat at the moment as the Ribble frame has become a singlespeed and a Kuota has been added, similar to this one
but dressed with a pair of Zondas and full Campag groupset
No bike to show for me at the moment. Packed up cycling 20 years ago when i had my kids but now deperately looking to get back on. All i can add to this thread is a comment...
Some seriously fantastic bikes on here. I'm amazed to see, in my hunt for a new ride, that retro bikes from the 80's and 90's (my era) are very much loved now and shown for what they were...the peak of bike building and style (imo)
No doubt the modern bikes will leave a steel frame dinosaur standing...but it will be the beautiful slender bikes of the previous era that will one day grace the museums of design in greater number...plus one or two carbons.
Well done to those that have restored them and shown their steeds on here...brought a tear to my eye...
My ‘winter’ bike - Duell Solo Columbus frameset with Campag Chorus group + Ambrosio Excellight wheels. Love the clean lines of retro steel bikes.

Here's my latest edition,
2006 Specialized Transition Comp frameset (for TT) built up with Ultegra 6800, a HED Trispoke and a custom Mavic Kysrium rear disc. It's stupendously fast!

Changed a few bits on my Avanti Blade Comp.
Chain needs shortening but apart from that she's ready to roll.
Shimano 105 53/39
Microshifter 9 speed Tiagra 13-23
Microshift shifters on Felt bars.
MiniV cantilever brakes.
38mm Maxxis Overdrive tyres.
Everything else is factory spec besides the tape. At 0.75 cents (40p) a roll I figured some kid might learn something while I fine tune the bike and learn something myself. Is thick and comfy tape.
Spare 105 hub 9 speed rims with a variety of 23-28mm tyres and a set of clip ons ready to use. Best I could do and thinking of electric front hub or rear electric 9 speed hub in near future to use bike as a Sunday church rocket. Has triple water bottle placement bolts. Not sure if shifter cables will allow a hung battery?
Tuffy tyre liners too.
