Stand aside Jash. This is a job for a proper photographer.

Errrrrmmmm Heeeeellloooooo?

Did someone mention my name?

Just a thought, LiT, but I'm sure I saw a Viner in my local Halfords when I popped in the other day...perhaps you could have saved time and ordered one there...

Having complete missed the Viner news on the other thread I'm now forced to reflect on the evil influence of the interweb which can convert in double-quick time an innocent like the former Ms LiT ("guys in the bike shop laughing at my ebay bargain") into an Italian custom carbon exotica procuring sybarite.

Haven't you heard of the credit crunch? Conspicuous consumption is soooo 2007.

ps: nice bike, as you can tell I'm not jealous at all...
pps: "sybarite" - top word, no?

Record 11sp, it's brilliant in every way. I have no further useful input. Brilliant.

Yeah, roughly what DDD said............it looks simply amazing!
So have you managed to get it out of top gear and try the easier one's yet ;-)

redvee

As it's a custom build, it was set-up in top gear, 53x11. Yes, there are shifters and mechs on the bike but doesn't necessarily mean they are connected to each other.
Nice bike for the commute.

Wow £4000 is an awful lot of money for a girl to spend on a bike,do they really cost that much?You could get about 10 handbags for that and still have change for a pair of shoes. Doesn`t that make it,like, one of the best bikes in the world,ever?

£4000? I think it was rather more than that......starting price for a complete bike now £3951.95 (and LiT hasn't got that spec!)
Anyway, easy to spend twice that much, or more.....

I see, so the £2799 quoted is probably just for the frame.I must say it does look nice,and sound nice.Somebody is certainly flush and doing her bit for the fiscal stimulus.I am not at all jealous,of course.

Yup, frame price...at time of test (so that's shot up as well!)

Er chaps, isn't it rather ungentlemanly to speculate on price? Just enjoy basking in the glow of someone you know on the internet having a sexy bike

I`m basking,i`m basking 8)

I'm not speculating- frankly, the ballpark figure I have in my head is enough unless/until I'm able to afford a lovely beast like that myself- there's pretty much no limit once you start speccing high end kit....my computer's the same (I could have got a very nice road bike, even at 2009 money, for the price I paid two and a bit years ago. And yes, there's an apple on the side...). LiT's exactly the kind of person who should buy one...in other words, she's got it because she wants the best and she'll make the effort to 'live up to the bike', not just stick it in the corner of a museum or pootle round to the shops at 5 mph. I'd be the same (though my first choice for spending that kind of money is made in a shed in Bradford-on-Avon- I'd naturally like a Maxima or equivalent as well...).
