2007 Giant Reign 1
Changed the pedals to flats (they like putting holes in shins)
Race Face Evolve DH stem
FUNN Fatboy bars
Oury grips

... and about 6 hours of use

I busted a bone in my elbow last year playing football, and it has never been the same. It clicks and grinds that much that it's too painful/sickly to hold my body weight.

I want to sell the bike, but I can't bring myself to lose 2 grand in the process

Hahaha, I was actually trying to see how many bricks I could bunny-hop over and the seat was restricting how high I could pull the bike up

But my usual riding position isn't too much higher then that

Love the Tommasini, very retro...

I've got this currently, Cannondale System Six with Chorus 10 speed. Will be for sale very shortly for any roadies out there:



This is my new beastie- the new Pinarello Dogma 60.1, frame arrived in Sydney last week, Campag Super Record on the way, might be ready to go by Friday. Will post a pic of the real thing when its built (Mavic wheels instead of those Lightweights though ):

How much you want for the Cannondale System Six out of curiousity?

I'm putting around on a Masi Nuova Strada that I bought from Jaron.. not a bad little rig..



Makes me wanna build my dream roadie though.. I have a thing for metal frames (not carbon), and am currently aiming for one of these..



With a nice set of Dura-ace rims and groupset, and some carbon bars, etc.. should be a nice little mid range ($8k) rig, but alas, its still too much for me at this point in time.

Not sure, need to check with the boys at the shop. Maybe around $3500?

Steel frames are nice to ride, definitely not as quick or light as carbon but unless you're riding the Tour who cares? One of my favourite bikes ever was a steel Fondriest i had a couple years ago- still love the classic look of the thinner tubes, etc.

Steel frames are awesome for single speeds

When I say I like "metal" frames, Ally and Scandium are what I like. Carbon is nice but I'm taking a big risk riding one as a "street bike" (I don't always ride on smooth roads!) with how heavy I am.

Why thank you, can't help but love the old girl....but your new one is definately making me feel like one of Pavlov's dogs. Very pretty indeed.

-ajayjay, swap one of mine for two of yours for the weekend, could use a change in the training pattern.
