My On-one Pompetamine (Alfine 8) Touring Bike on Gosport Seafront (27th December Festive 500 ride)
PS. That's a plastic bag wrapped around the bar to give the light mount something to grip. Shocking I know.

Holiday snap of my vaguely treved up Condor Fratello, taken on Paxos, all 7x2 miles of it.
Please forgive the bar tape, it was spare and came off soon after, the shame..
Bike as it should be, all unsporting and off on a fishing trip..

My dented, chipped and filthy old Kinesis Pro5 after some good honest mud plugging. She spends most of her time with Gatorksins and mudguards on slogging to and from work so it's nice to let her have a run out in the wild now and then. Cobbled together entirely from cast offs, second hand bits and EBay.
Shown here with 1x9 gearing but currently setup with a double
Crosslight Pro5 frame and generic brand carbony fork
Mavic CXP22 rims on Tiagra hubs w/ DT spokes (heavy but nails)
Kenda Kross tyres
Ritchey Pro stem and post
Deda bar
Prologo Vertigo saddle
SRAM Apex crank with 36T Middleburn ring
Shimano BR550 cantis
Shimano M520 pedals

The latest addition to the n+1, Kinesis TK2 with DC07 carbon fork, Centaur Red and Scirroco 35 wheels, plus a few bling bits I found in the cycling cupboard

Hello!
I'm Markus from Finland and this is my winter bike.
It's a Nishiki Bigfoot 29er. It is quite stable on snowy roads. As long as the temperature is well below freezing, the big tyres (2.25''if memory serves me correctly) also grip quite well, even on ice. When the weather gets warmer to around 0 degrees C, the roads get much more slippery, but I have another winter bike, a old 26'' Tunturi with studded tyres for that.

My stable as it currently stands:
1. Cinelli Experience; used for racing. Highlights include American Classics Victory 30 wheels and Record crankset. Light, stiff and an ideal race machine for our roads
2. Cinelli Gazetta; used for everything else. This is my goto bike and is ridden daily. No significant mods, but look at it, it's lovely

Hi there, new here. I have been cycling for just short of 2 years and have managed to get 2 great bikes. The Cube Attempt is my first bike but has now been relegated to being my winter bike.
The Cube Litening Super HPC Pro is my summer bike which i picked up in September. I can't wait to get a full summer on this machine.
2013 was a cracking year, 7500 miles. Looking forward to topping that in 2014.
Edit: Well i never did get that full summer on the Cube Litening. I crashed into a club mate at 27 mph after he came down in front of me. Huge damage to the top tube resulted in it getting written off.
Insurance payout completed and some research in to the best deals out there at the moment. I am now the very proud owner (and first time builder) of a Scott Foil HMX Team with Ultegra 6870 Di2. Now this is a serious machine!
Winter bike, Canyon Ultimate AL 9.0, built up from the frame with my old Ultegra 6600 groupset. Syntace bars and slammed Syntace stem (practically the only stem that fits a 1 1/4 steerer). Crud RR2 guards.
Also used for commuting, and sometimes carries a light Tubus Fly rack and some small panniers.
Lovely bike, stiff as anything and with a compliant seatpost and forks.
That's in its latest guise with Shimano RS80-C24 wheels.
To be honest this bike gets much more use than the best bike!
Now with updated picture. Click to zoom.
Will shortly upload new picture after frame-up rebuild with Athena 11 speed.
