Your tale brings it all back. Can I ask did the car turn right from a side road, or was he facing you and turned into the side road. Mine was the latter.
I'm coming round to this way of thinking - my leisure riding is less frequent than I'd like now, but I ride to work at least 4 days a week, so maybe I should upgrade my commuter. That said, there's a certain satisfaction in having a decent, relatively cheap, low maintenance bike that I can neglect without feeling too guilty (Genesis Day One Disc).
This looks much similar to the $600 Electric bike on Geekwake .
Ow that is a shame , to be hounest i have a set of the same wheels..
Not the best i've owned im affraid.
Hope they work better for you !

Hello all,
Long time no posting here. Sorry.
I've recently bought a Vitus 979 road bike. I'm in awe of the beauty of its design but need help getting her uo and running at full chat.
I'm looking to completed the Suntour Cyclone 7000 set buy tracking down 7000 brakes and pedals. I've bought a nice torquise leather saddle and will accent the bar tape etc to match.
I'll retain the Ambrosio 19 rims but may change the hubs to Suntour 7000 if I can find them.
Advice on tracking down the Suntour kit welcomed. Relying on eBay atm and most of the nice Suntour kit is in the US it seems.....

Hi All
Thought you might like to have a look at my brand new, made to measure hand built steel road bike by Argos Cycles of Bristol using Reynolds oversized 853 tubing, flam red with silver graphics, through axles and handbuilt bombproof 32 spoke wheels.
Designed to be ridden hard year round in all conditions it's taken 8 months to get it and if there is interest I will put a more thorough build article up on the forum.

New to the forum.
After getting into biking around 12-18 months ago, I initailly purchased a second hand Specialized Allez to see if it was something i would enjoy/get into, just over a month or so ago I upgraded to this beaut:
My Specialized Tarmac Expert Disc

New Condor Fratello with own built wheels and shimano 105 (mix of r7000 and 5800). Lovely smooth ride!

The ‘Wobble bike’.
Genesis CdF converted to single speed (48x18). Useless mechanical disc brakes swapped out for deep drop tektros.
For family outings, commutes and one day shopping duties with panniers or perhaps a trailer.

Leon
HD85?
21 inch.
Fits me. 193 cm. Seat aft on layback post.
Schrader valve Kenda 700c35 with ample clearance to go 50.
3*8
I like it. In Borderland; Ukraine. Eastern Europe near Russia. Many potholes, cobblestones, some smooth roads, hilly.
It feels quite a fast bike and I believe probability low of buckle or puncture.
(Avoiding cobblestone), 35s are awesome.
Really nice bike from Bike Master Kiev.
On my budget I noticed, choice of 4.
2 hub drive bikes on disc brakes.
A mountain bike on Australian livery.
Leon pictured.
Thank you well
My friend asked me why I didn't rent bike.
Easy. Rent bike restrictions route/times. Slower heavier bike.
This bike with pump, tube, lights, chain and lock. 60% cost of rental. Even has many spoke strong aero rims.. Light and quick..and no hassles.
Yeah but you going to ride that every day? Err derr.. Yeah about 100km. Expect Chernobyl tour day.. I'll have Day off.
Loving ride. Riding love.
(Better than my home bikes.. )
Edit.. Weighed her. 14.05kg. She's a porky. Yay. Guess I'll build my upper body riding her. Might even be heavier than the rentals? Who knows, who cares. Does 120km+ hilly, flat, steep mix easily enough. Been over the bars a couple of times and she ain't bent. Feels light, weighs heavy.. Must be something in the water.

Raleigh Record Ace Imposter. Actually a 1990s Raleigh frame and the shade is from a Renault car that parks near me. I’ve subsequently colour matched a real Record Ace Frame and refurbished.
