Here's my Ribble Stealth. I've just added the 50mm carbon clinchers and have finally found a Lime Charge Spoon after months of looking! Your opinions will be appreciated (as long as they're nice 
)
The Giant STP is what I use for commuting to work and messing about.
Cheers. Gaz

Looks the Dogs!!!! Love the Paradox of a " Stealth Bike " With a lime Saddle
Whats the Wheelset?0 -
Looks fast, sat still0

Finally worked out how to post photos, just swapped from Dropbox to Photobox (much easier). Anyways,
Thanks!! I've been after a Lime Charge Spoon for ages. As for the wheelset, they're 50mm Chinese clinchers on Novatek hubs.Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0 -
In the flesh is the lime more green or more yellow? it's an option for one of my bikesBianchi Infinito CV

Personally I'd say it's definitely more yellow than green, the photo has actually caught the colour pretty well, the dust caps on my wheels are bright green if that helps show the true colour moreEven a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0

Lime bar tape, lose the caps and Robert is your mothers brother - looks good.
All the gear, but no idea...0 -
Gatorskins though?0

I had the Gatorskins on the wheels on my old bike. I got them for there puncture resistance qualities as I'm not a good enough rider to tell the difference between tyres :oops:Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0

cheers, probably not the solution for my green machine then.
Your stealth looks good btw, some matching bar tape is worth a try, although will be a pig to keep clean.Bianchi Infinito CV

Thanks for the kind remarks I was thinking of lime bar tape but might just try and get some lime/Fluro shifter hoods instead. There is a couple of things I'm wanting to change, just for aesthetic purposes. (I just need to find someone wanting to do a swap with me )
Firstly, I want to swap my seatpost for a plain Matt black carbon fibre one.
Secondly, I want to swap my SRAM Force brake calipers for some Black ones, something like PlanetX or FSA.
Once again, thanks for the thumbs up Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0 -
Since the above photos were taken I've changed a couple of things, I've now fitted black PlanetX light weight CNC brake calipers and have changed the Doval rings back to my Rotor NoQ's (found the shifting smoother/easier).
I'm in the market for some new pedals, I'm currently planning on going for some Speedplay Zeros, but don't know whether to go for black or the bright green, which do you think I should go for?
Opinions very much welcome!Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0 -
Nice bike, about the PX brakes though.... they're awful, and borderline dangerous in the wet. I've just ditched mine for some ultegras after a very scary moment..... They look trick and weigh nowt, but don't rely on them to get you out of a pickle.0

Thanks for the heads up! Luckily, this is my good weather bike, hopefully I'll never get caught out in the rain on it!Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day0 -
I had the Gatorskins on the wheels on my old bike. I got them for there puncture resistance qualities as I'm not a good enough rider to tell the difference between tyres :oops:
If they're 23c Gators, they are the most unyielding tyre I've ever ridden. I'm a fan of (far more comfy) 25c Gators for winter night time riding but stick on some GP4000S or similar for more comfort. You will notice the difference!
Bike looks great by the way, it was on my shortlist before I went Ti.0 -

They're the 25c Gators, I was thinking of trying something different tyre wise for the summer, I'll have to give the GP4000s a look.
