Thanks. I'm well pleased. Practical (with the mudguards, big grippy Schwalbe 700Cx28 tyres and full brakes, it's perfect for the current Glasgow weather and roads) and yet great fun to ride, it's certainly been holding its own out there for the past month and a bit. I love it.

Cutty, what do you use the Cannondale and the Cinelli for differently? Also, your saddle seems not that much higher than your bars - you like a relaxed position?
― Mark C, Saturday, 11 April 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm still using the cinelli for long, hilly, road races and weekend training rides. i'm using the cannondale for crits, park races, and weekly training rides. i'm using the raleigh to commute and tool around town.
i have a super long torso, so that's the most biomechanically efficient position for me on the road bike. i get my bikes fit to my exact body measurements with the wobblenaught system:

They all do these days, Chris, it's the thing.
Move the saddle as far forward as it'll go, Ken? How are the tyres - nice and slick?

tell me why i shouldn't buy these, only a week after buying a different set:http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Vittoria_Rubino_Tyre/5360018648/
only £11 each, and i only spent £8 each on the others.

Dude since I sent you that link they have removed the white/white option!!
― Mark C, Thursday, 21 May 2009 15:30 (fifteen years ago) link
it's still there for the folding ones - which are twice as much. and have double the thread count, whatever the fuck that is (lol n00b).
― man saves ducklings from (ledge), Thursday, 21 May 2009 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
higher thread count means that the casing is more supple, which theoretically will make it handle better. theoretically.

Trying to save as much as possible for a deposit on a house u__u.
I've had two ppl seriously interested. One a retired baby boomer who is into masters rowing (huge cockhuffer)
and this nice kiwi chap who reckons he used to ride elite in NZ 10 or 12 yrs ago. He's coming around this evening to check it out.

i used to work at a company that compiled a database of the bike industry, and entering "fi'zi:k" was always the biggest pain in the ass. i hate them and always will, regardless of whether or not their products are any good.

dont know if i'll sell my old l@@k frame. prob won't get much for it, the paint job is pretty fucked. Loved riding this bike back in the day :(
― wilter, Thursday, 28 May 2009 10:24 (fifteen years ago) link
The saddle is pretty offensive - it arrived today. It's a Planet X own-brand fi'zi:k (fuck, Jordan, you're right) rip-off. I had hoped the central stripe was white; it's actually silver. The frame is racing green.
