Hi, Well i bought a bike when i took up cycling last year that was a halfords Esperia 5200 i think. Campeglo xenon and aluminium frame, wheels weight quite a bit but look cool. Bike weighed about 12kg and fitted me quite nicely. I normally ride up hills quite fast and basically go out to ride to specifically kill myself on hills otherwise i am nto satisfied and so far i think it is great training and i love it.

My new bike i bought is Pinerello(few years old).

I think it is a Pinerello Agliru:-

Aluminum Frame
Carbon Forks
Pinerello Duel wheels
Campegnolo(sp?) veloce gears

This bike weights about 8 1/2 - 9kg and i bought it for £500 and i know myself it was an exceptional deal. After having a go on the bike3 times, once over 25miles, 35 miles and 50 miles over short steep nasty hills it is a great hill climber as its past owner assured me it was.

I just wanted to share my new bike with eveyrone and i am exstatic with is.

  • You will never go wrong with Pinarello and Campagnolo. For 500 smackers that sounds like a steal. Enjoy what is undoubtedly a class 1 machine.
  • Thanks :D:D It rides like a dream compared to my halfords esperia! The hills were nice and good before but now their just unbelievably quick for me - 3kg is alot of weight!!!
