Big Girls Are Beautiful Too!!!

This is for all the guys at the other end of the scale!

Admittedly I think smaller bikes are lovely looking but for me it'd be like one of the ugly step sisters trying to fit into the glass slipper...

This bike fits me like a glove and I really love it. I'm not sure the photos do it justice really because in the flesh it looks and rides like it just wants to chew up the road!

To be fair, that doesn't look bad (cos of the size).. the wheels and colour combo works well.

Of course bike look amazing in smaller sizes, but yours looks mean! really like it!

I'm sure it looks better in a colour photo rather tan black and white

Thanks guys, it looks longer and lower than it seems in the photos but yes, very stealthy... I'm going to drop the stem down another 20mm this weekend and then I think it'll be perfect.

Few firsts for me regarding the wheels. I've never used deep rimmed carbon wheels before, or tubs for that matter, so didn't want to go nuts with them money wise. I'm really happy with them so far although I don't have anything similar to compare them to. Really enjoyed the whole process of fitting the tubs and obv the weight reduction is a big bonus. I think ultimately I'll probably get a pair of light weight climbing wheels hand built because I don't really fancy the carbon braking surface standing up to long dissents. But I think regarding the tyres, tubs are the way forward for me now.

That works!
What about a neg stem..?
Excuse for spending... ;-)

Cheers miles

JGSI I don't think I could handle a slammed and negative angle stem. I took a look at your set up on your cannondale and my brain said yes, but my body simultaneously said hell nooo!
