as is that! Where's the big-chainring though?!
I've come from riding single speed only. Never thought Id have a bike with gears so this is a sort of compromise. I do love SS riding and how the bike looks. And the lack of maintenance. My LBS owner had built himself a 10 speed Cinelli and I really liked the idea so got this one built up. Now I've got to go out and defeat the hills that got the better of me on the old SS.0 -

Yeah it's a 42. My SS was 42/18, now my middle two gears are very similar to that (17 and 19 I think) so I have a bit more to play with a both ends. Pretty much perfect for me 0 -

Smaller framed (adult) bikes always seem so much better looking/faster...perhaps it's just me.0

Size 54 seems to be the sweet spot IMO
Unfortunately I need a 58 top tube, which immediately rules out specialized bikes as the look freaking AWFUL in the larger sizes.Insta: ATEnduranceCoaching

Here are my summer bikes, excuse the non conforming OCP on the Argon 18 Gallium Pro. I had just finished building it yesterday and was keen to get a ride in, the Cinelli steel frame was going to be winter bike project but at the moment looks to nice for a winter hack, I have wanted a traditional steel frame with modern everything for a while now and wanted to do it on a reasonable tight budget, love the look so far.
