Doesn't look like it has a compact chainset ?Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

The saddle must be a foot higher than the handlebars....Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.
What would Thora Hurd do?0 -
wheres the box of man size tissues when you need it.The doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now0

My soul is both hurt and warmed at the beauty of that bike.
Warm is my soul, which finds solace in knowing that such beauty exists.
Hurt is my soul, which exists within fear that I may never get a chance to ride it.
Thanks Jash, you have torn my heart.
The KoM is quite simply a thing of love. I saw a white and black (ladies version - if there such a thing) in Luciano cycles along with the Foundriest. I don't say this lightly and have only ever said this once, this occasion. I would sell, my guitar, my X-box and all its games, my turntables and garage records, my TDL RTL 3 speakers and all my comic books including X-men #1 and Ultimates #1 signed by Millar and Hitch (but not Thor #1or Avengers Dissassembled: Thor, Ragnarok that's just sacrilege) to own that bike!
I love that bike more than I would the love child of a Wilier Izoard and 2008 Bianchi via Nirone...Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -
Where can you buy those bike racks? And wouldn't that bracket snap the tube? I've just swapped out the one's that grip the tube for those that you attach the front fork to as I thought they were safer for carbon frames. Obviously you then have to make room in the car for the front wheels. I haven't put them to use yet but I'm always amazed how many bikes the pro teams can get on top of their cars when I can only manage four.Bike1

KoM = King of the Mountains. Its called that for a reason. Anything less than a 39ring is just an insult surely?Food Chain number = 4

£1,899 for the frame and fork. Once you add wheels, Groupset (nothing less than Chorus 11 will do it justice IMO) and finishing kit, you're looking at a £3000 bike easy.
If you add me clad in my 'spiderman' bike ninja-superhero get up and you'd have an eternally happy Man!Food Chain number = 4

Well if the Fred Whitton can be won on a 39 ring then surely there is no need for anything smaller. I mean there can't be many roads steeper than Hardknott or the tarmac would avalancheShort hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

Any ideas how much I can get for 5 children on ebay? ;-)
You'd get more for them if you broke them down into parts :shock: :roll:Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

Market the small ones as chimney sweeps, the larger ones as confined space cleaners i.e. behind machinery where adults cannot reach. Remember you can sell this idea to the boss as not only do you get income from the sale of the kids but you can also offset the expenditure you normally allocate to the kids to the bike and perhaps some flowers for her.Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

The edge always seems to get its initial reading wrong, although it's perfectly possible to cycle below seal level, just head to Holland!- 2023 Vielo V+1

You really know how to show a girl a good time ;-)
My wife gets pi$$y at Wiggle parcels arriving, let alone heading to an LBS....I wish she could appreciate and prey to the KOM in all it's beauty and engineering excellence.
Can you get it in Cambridge Blue, fixed wheel?0 -

Thanks for the advice, as for the "flowers for her" that's not really feasible as I'd like to offload her to, I mean how on earth do I spend as much money as I wish on the uber bike with her in they way buying such silly things as food and what not........;-)0
