Picked this up today after selling my road bike a few months back then realising i shouldnt have....

managed to get a good deal with it being a 2012, so pretty chuffed

Did you get itnew then?

Gorgeous bikes love them (currently building one)
I personally think its a better looking bike than its more expensive relatives

Enjoy it

I think yours would look even better with less spacer height but if it works good for u

yea split new, just last years model reduced price....first proper run later today, so will tweak out anthing that needs changing adjustment wise cheers!

That's a very good looking bike. Really nice clean lines.

Ordered a new set of skewers from Planet-X...theyre awesome value for money and mega light!



Carbon and Ti for £20 delivered!

Saw one yesterday in a shop whilst browsing, they do look good and did consider one last year. Although I hope you haven't spent all your stair carpet money on it?

flasher

Need to turn the stem faceplate round the correct way!

badly_dubbed

skewers are great value for £ imo!

Lovely bike, so pleased with mine. I upgraded to SRAM Force and Ksyrium wheels. They are fab bikes, I'm tempted by the KOM too!

badly_dubbed

Some new hoops...

Really is a great bike, my wife rides one very similar (also from LBS) though she has the aero 30 wheelset which were de-stickered last night (understated looks better imo) along with red tape, pro4's and red Selle smp saddle.

Its fair to say she loves it, winter bike didnt get out the garage once over the worse of the weather instead she rode tha Kharma and just got on with cleaning it after each outing.

One of the best deals out there.

Looks mint. Love the Kuota range. What weight do the hoops come in at.

badly_dubbed

Bagggers

Who cares, the look the Dog B*****ks. Love it

Yeah top bloke. Bought my first bike, an allez from him 3 years ago now and was very close to buying a venge at the end of the year but ended going for a Felt Ar4 instead.

badly_dubbed

my Venge came from Andy also, he does some great deals on Specialized being a long serving dealer of them 8)

infact my allez came from him too....the allez is one of the best bikes ive owned...and it was just the basic bottom of the range model....
