    Awesome, I really hope you like it. I think I'll end up with a Silk Road Pro eventually.

    54cm Silk road anyone?!!

    It is the dogs, and was fitted to my exact measurements. I know the frames are changing now, so this was perfect timing to grab the whole bike at a steal.

    The new Pro is a different look. When I get bored of mine, I can just change the stickers for a change of colour - another benefit of Ti. I need to sort out weighing it too, although have just loaded it up with winter add ons. The saddle bag is heavy, with CO2 and tube etc. as I can't face pumping in this weather!

    Soon to be sporting these two fellas, and back to a proper Ti finish.... £60 here, and cheapest in the UK is about £90.

    28g a pop, and better than that plaggy rubbish or carbon flimflam.

    I bet you're even more pleased with this bike when you look at their new frame designs!

    Was going to say this myself! :D
    Still the OP could just expose the frame to a extreme heat source partially melting the ti and hey presto! a 2010 sabbath lookalike :D
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    I actually like some of the new ones, but seems that a lot of people don't. I wonder what Greg thinks!

    Trust me, the new ones will grow on everyone. They got the same reaction from me and then I saw one at Sabbath...
    They are something you need to see to appreciate

    I saw the Alp in an LBS yesterday and almost threw up a little in my mouth.

    Hideous!

    Ooh, just had a look at the Sabbath site and had to gouge out my eyes with spoons to make the nasty images go away.

    Thought I'd stick one up of the Silk Road Pro which has sat in the garage since late Jan but had it's first outing this weekend.

    Not as good a build as Scrumple, but I'm equally as pleased.....an advantage of being short was the offer on 09 Sabbath XS :D

    Now fitted with Deda Zero 100 stem and seatpost. Anything other than tyres will be upgraded when worn/replaced.
