Canyon Aeroad
Shimano Dura Ace Di2
Quarq Riken with Rotor No-Q 52x36 rings
Enve 4.5 tubulars on Chris King hubs
Unsure if the red bartape is a bit OTT?

Very nice. Bar tape too much for me, but then I have a black bike so best to ignore my opinion0

Beautiful looking bike.
It almost makes up for the floorboards not running parallel to the kitchen units

Bar tape needs to be black but the first thing I saw was gold hubs! Red needed there.0

Bar tape looks wrong, gold hubs poor choice, red decals on wheels should be black on black, bottle cage looks wrong. All the attempts to get red onto it look wrong and even worse as none of them are the right red or finish. Saddle bag is always a no no.0

could've just gone with an abridged review version i.e. it looks sh*t!? :?:0 -
What is it you're hiding on the drive side?
Bike pic should be taken on drive side
Chain should be on big ring/ small cog
Remove any bottles or other K2 expedition looking paraphernalia under the saddle or elsewhere.
Agreed, red overkill. Change the bar tape at least, and/ or the rim decals.

Not so in my opinion, looks fine.Beautiful looking bike.
It almost makes up for the floorboards not running parallel to the kitchen units OCD? Me? Nah.
the kick-board is fine , the carpet distorts the view a little but the floor boards look ok to me.
Maybee get OP to photo a plan view ?

I can never get my head around semi-integrated kitchen appliances. They should either be fully integrated or on show. What's the point?

Is the 1 bottle cage that is the problem? :?
Saddle bag is holding a spare tubular, and agreed it looks shite.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -

Tbf lots of dishwashers & washing machines used to be "semi integrated" a few years ago ....
At the time dishwashers were still considered to be more of a luxury item and perhaps there was a "pose value" in showing off ya "integrated" machine. More likely it was just a manufacturing stepping stone towards full integration in terms of ideas and technology available at the time?
I work for a large kitchen appliance manufacturer and we haven't had a semi integrated dishwasher or washing machine in the range for years now.

........still no sofa :roll:0

Yep, bar tape is dreadful. Looks like you need a different seat post too, one with some setback perhaps? Bottle cage should be a black one, maybe a matt Arundel carbon. Cable outers should be black, not that Shimano grey. Wheel logos should be black gloss I think too, the red clashes too much with the frame logo font.
I quite like the bling hubs though.

Like what you've done there....with the cushions picking up the red accent from the rear light.....nice touch! :x
Cool bike by the way....and at least there's actually a sofa in your picture :roll:0 -

Yup, cables are very long. Only had the bike a few weeks and haven't managed to get out on it much, will redo cables when I've finished adjusting the fit.0 -

This post contravenes the Kitchen/Sofa specification - unless of course the kitchen is carpeted.

Think you'll find the bike was his Christmas present and his wife took him away for Christmas and all they could afford was a very cheap B&B in Skegness.
At least his priorities are right.0 -

Too many colours going on there: pub carpet, two tone walls, dado rail and door frame..................... All a bit clashing really.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
