Im so glad Scott have the sense to remove the dork disc and left it in a plastic bag. They must have savvy people working for them...

Nice. TCR Advanced 2 2012? Good deal on those atm. Tempted myself but prefer the 2013 colour.

Got it in 1. I preferred this colour over the 2013. Plus it has Ultegra over 105. Last years 2 is basically this years 1 but with a £750 saving.

I'd be getting ride of the stickers on the frame and chainset though
What's with the red valve caps?

Also, for a "giant" water bottle, it's not very big is it

I just got my Advanced 2 a coupe of weeks ago and it is lush. You'll have a great time on that.

Nice bike but do we really need a thread in General and Buying Advice when there is a Your Road Bike section?

Ha ha ha. I posted the first thread thinking I had put it in here. I came back 10 mins later and couldn't find it and thought it had been deleted because I used the word porn in the title so I thought I was reposting hence the slightly different title. Do'h. My bad

Mods please delete this thread if required.

Hey, we all like to show off our new toys, especially a bike as nice as yours.

sumosprintstar

Very nice. Enjoy

Ha ha. I was thinking more warning stickers and the dork disc just ain't big enough. I'm wanting dinner plate size!!

Ok, so what's the gig with the water bottle? So far its:

Dork disc
Slam the stem (what?)
Stickers (ha ha)
Pedals (I definitely figured this one out for myself....)
Water bottle on down tube.

Anything else?

And thanks. It is indeed a pretty machine. Should get the pedals on this weekend and get the rest of my riding bits so can get her out on the Tarmac, although the roads are completely diabolical in Sussex and Surrey right now? With my MTB I just smashed over everything without a second thought.....

Remove the stem, then remove all of the spacers underneath it. Then replace the stem and put the spacers on top. Make sure the stem is pointing down as well.

By the time you get into the 50s, you should be realising that not all of the rules are strictly serious!

Its to make you look pro, but tell me thism, what if he gets a bike fit and the most comfortable position for him is with the stem raised with all spacers under it?
