    Very nice!
  • Lovely bike but crying out for deep section wheels. Fab colour scheme.

    No 'buts' - looks great as it is.

    I saw a guy on one of these a few days ago. He must have been touching 60. If I wasn't out riding myself I should have "liberated" it from him ;-)

    Also saw a guy today (again probably the wrong side of 55) on a Cervelo R5. Such a waste seeing so many lovely bikes about ridden by guys who look like they could croak any minute.

    Agree with above, would look so much better with a set of 50mm+ Reynolds or Zipps on it.

    even think about kidnapping my bike, and I'll rip yer legs off... and I've got 60 on the clock sooner rather than later
  • Magnificent. Those wheels look perfect on this bike, as they did for the other mango sl4 on this forum. Congratulations!

    As pointed out, it was tongue in cheek. Guess some have no SOH

    That's a beautiful looking bike and the wheels suit it perfectly.

    Great looking bike!

    I personally like the wheels on this bike (though I am biased as I run the same on my SL4!) 8)

    Seriously man,you need to get tires and rims labels properly aligned :) .
    Everything else is top notch,best paint scheme ever,my market did not get that otherwise I would be probably riding one by now. Forget about deep section wheels,they do look great but they have been hot for 2 years now,give it another 6 months and the industry will tell us how much faster and efficient we would be again on 20mm wheels
