Well,

a new one for me, I've decided to have a go at this road bike riding malarkey and bloody hell you can cover some miles on those things ........

Anyhow the idea is to help my fitness for my mountain biking as i can jump straight on and ride and don't have to wash a ton of mud off every time i ride

So far just one ride, 36 miles today, and all was good

Here's what I have bought


Do you guys ride this arse numbing things ?

[Wellerman]

Yep I am a huge cycling fan I got a Look full carbon fibre road bike which I haven't been able to get out on for a while due to weather and a recent house move but am planning a mooch out in next couple of days

[davemfox]

That looks smart mate

[Andy J]

nice one Wellerman, sounds nice 

Mines full carbon and 105 drive and seems pretty good, I've not tried this road stuff previously but it seems quite good

cheers Dave 

[Wellerman]

Yeah 105 is a nice groupset I really fancy the electric front and rear shifter from campag lots of money though!!!!

[Andy J]

mmmmmm yes I've seen those electronic shifters but far too expensive !

[Wellerman]

But very very shiny :0)

[docta13]

ooohhhhh that looks a bit too painful for me!

 oooh,I like the look of that Andy.  kinda gone the whole hog with mine, I've got myself a Giant TCR advanced 1 with full dura ace  setup.  I've opted for a set of Enve 65 wheels as my "bezzy" set. absolutely lovin' it. I usually manage to stick between 100-150 miles a week on it.

Bitten by the cycling bug also, have a Pinarello full carbon, if your serious get a bike fit done, transforms the bike so all power is put through the pedals, if you haven't got it, download Strava, works with most phones, tracks where you have been and records max/average speed. I have lost 6kg already.

[Andy J]

all sounds great fellas , it seems that a few of us are enjoying the pedalling afterall 

[Jak]

I've seen you fellas out on a Sunday on your super duper carbon bikes 

I'm still a fan of the old Reynolds 531 steel bikes and like to ride out with the local club on a Sunday  Easy ride section of course 

[Wellerman]

Oooh pinarello nice, is it the lovely light blue one? You could hang that as wall art!!
