    They make me look faster, and sound faster. Whether I'm actually faster is therefore moot.

    I think the number of women attracted to deep section wheels must be countable on my fingers and toes!

    Women love deep rims - I get at least 4 women per ride commenting on how much better my bike looks than all those other sheds with shallows.

    Ooooh - Point Break. Good call. I may well do the same, but think a couple of beers is more in keeping.

    Drop a line when you're about to watch it and I'll put it on as well and then we can set up a new thread on here and post whenever something cool happens in the film, which, as it's such a cool film, will be constantly.
    It's the best film. Once Krystal and Jade go home, I'll order a pizza and drop you a line.

    Coolio - I have cold beer waiting.

    Soz Pinno. What's wrong with it for you? Wheels? Frame? Bars? Hoods? Or just the whole package?

    Or my tatty lawn? Which is actually a patch of dandelions and moss, disguised as a lawn.

    Just getting pegged by Krystal now, while Jade strokes my deep sections.

    I'll let you know when I'm done.

    Cheers Stevo. It is a little bit of a mountain bike. Hence the chunky downtube, slack head angle and massive clearances.

    That's a good thing, right :)

    I'm used to a 63deg head angle and 18kg.

    I've seen Stevo's. And you asked him to post a picture of his bike, not yours.

    You ride a Soloist and a part built Eddy Merckx Corsa. Plus, it looks too small for you and you would never live with that bit of steerer tube above the stem.

    Yep. Only let down is no mudguard eyelets. Raceblade XL keeps the worst off.

    It makes me smile when i ride it. Slow, fast, whatever.

    I keep thinking of a "best" bike, but I bought the wheels instead.

    Yep, with a compact chainset rather than a cx one. It's lovely on the crappy roads, but it's quite stiff, and will crack on. The rival hyd groupset is great for everyday use.
