    Nice bike, nearly had one of these as my first new bike but had a Moda instead. My only issue with it is you've done all the hard work but left the white bar tape, urghh. gets dirty to easily.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Thanks oxoman.
    It's not the original bar tape, it's lizard skin.
    I know it gets grubby, but when it's clean it looks amazing.

    Can't see the pictures, you need a different host?

    Looks like photo bucket is messing about with the pictures.

    You can't use photobucket for third party hosting now unless you pay.

    If you touch where the photo should be it links to my photobucket album.

    Yes it does but we sill can't see the images - only a prompt to upgrade your photobucket account to allow third party hosting on other websites for $399 per year. So if you want us to see the images in photobucket it will cost you.

    Find another host that's still free like Flickr or Imgur

    Really good. People have said they are a bit on the solid side to ride but I find they spin well and they seem to roll forever, at the moment I can't see any reason why I would replace them and I love the spoke pattern.

    I now have some conti gp4000 II s tires to go on when the weather starts to dry up a bit and I get my bike of the rollers and back on the road!
  • strongy1strongy1 Posts: 45
    Put my GP 4000S II's on today.
    I'm amazed at the difference they made to my average speed. What an upgrade. :D:D:D:D:D
