    went toget some new picciesbut its raining #sadface

    threw a PRO Vibe 7 S stem (same as Froome's allegedly) that I got given the other day on it to see how it feels. 10mm longer, -10 not minus -17, and has that awful white PRO writing all over it, so lets see.

    If it feels nice and the fit stays the same I'll either spray it black or get it powdercoated.

    its funky and triangular so thays a winner, the writing, less so....

    That's ya puppy.

    They think they are amazing and wonderful and the best thing ever and they neeeeeeed discs and they neeeeeeeed electronic shifting to ride in the faaaaast gang on a Sunday from B&Q to Tesco but they are, in actual fact, just disposable plastic.

    buy it

    ride it

    crash it

    shrug

    throw it away

    buy another

    repeat ad infinitum ad nauseum.

    I'd be gutted if I scratched my groupset though. And the seat post.

  • WTF is Dirk, some crappy old vintage thing that's full of rust and obsolete trinkets?

    Dirk is joy.

    Joy is Dirk.

    Dirk does not have Ultegra or Hunts.

    Be like Dirk.

    Dirk doesn't have any Shimano on him.

    He only wears a proper groupset.

    There are, admittedly, two lights, and neither have Shimano on them, but one is infintly more beautiful and special than the other.

    Only thing missing is leccy shifting, but the etap sets really are holding their value still looking at the fat end of 1K or more for just the shifting components.

    My sole non SRAM bike will be going toward the light once my mate gets his new groupset

    Nice bike but I'm still trying to figure out if the S3 is Dirk or no Dirk.

    Two separate entities. Biggie C is not Dirk and Dirk is not Biggie C.

    Must admit that I'm not really after 'leccy shifting - the mechanical on it works perfect and is lighter.

    I'd rather save my money and put it towards Campag mech 12 speed, the best groupset of all the mech and 'leccy groupsets.
