Here is my 2008 TCR Alliance Zero:

I've added the following parts to the SCR:
Shimano WH-R550 (105) Wheelset
Michelin Lithion Tyres
PBK Carbon Fibre Seat Post
Milram SPD-SL R540 Pedals
Zéfal Bottle Cages
RaceFace Cadence Handlebars
BBB Roadforce II 70mm Stem
Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur
FSA Gossamer Triple Chainset

I also got around to cutting the steerer tube, so the bars are a bit lower now.

    I do like orange bikes, I must admit. Those shifters look a bit low though....
  • For some reason, that's how they came; but I've moved them up a bit, and it feels a lot better.

    Does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap Euskaltel Euskadi kit to match the bike? 8)

    Try Prendas.
    Also a fan of orange on bikes. I nearly a bought an orange BMC before opting for the Izoard.

    Next time you need new tyres...

    You'll need a sticker kit, too. They ride Orbea's... :wink:
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
  • Those orange Michelins look awesome. I'll need to get some when the Lithions wear out 8)

    Fair point. I'll stick with my Rabobank kit then :wink:
