Show off your Road Bike!!!

I figured there should be a road bike show and tell if there is a mountain bike one. Besides, I need to show off my new wheel.

Here's mine.

2009 Felt B2 TTR







And the new to me chinese knock off carbon clincher. This is an 88mm deep rim. I'm going to run a wheelbuilder disc cover in the back for the time being. Sorry for the crappy picture quality.

 

Isn't your bike a Tri bike?

Here's my oldie. And my sorta oldie.

 

Technically, you're correct, but I didn't think I'd get much of a thread with a title like "Show off your tri bike".

I can't make out the make of your second bike, but you gotta love a good steel frame.

 

It's a Moots. http://moots.com/

Titanium.

 

Scott CR1, damn fast bike and stiff as hell

 

Yesterday was a half marthon and today was 50 miles of hills on the bike. What did you do this weekend?

 

This thread is right up my alley! Here is my preferred ride....I love the Tacoma, but its so much fun getting on this bike and going the distance.



Its a 2012 Tarmac Expert with full Ultregra group, with upgraded chain and 11-26 cassette (wore the originals out).

Finally a thread on road bikes! For some reason, I really like my first specialized epic road carbon so i ended up picking up a second one. I love it. One of specialized's first full carbon bikes. You gotta be careful with them though because over time as the condition of the carbon fiber gets worse and ages, the frame becomes weaker.



Now if i had an extra 18k laying around, i would pick up the Specialized Venge!

been waiting for a thread like this!



allez sport. i just put a 105 groupset on

sooooo much better than the crappy sora parts that came with it.

i want to upgrade my rims next. i found a site that lets you build your own. i was looking at some mavics with 105 hubs. any recommendations?

 

also what are your guys opinions on the china ebay carbon frames?

 

I don't like fleabay

I will always support my local bike store

And plus when you buy from a mainstream company you get a warranty with the frame.

Trek give a lifetime warranty with all of their carbon frames.

 

I'd go with American Classic wheels (thats what I want eventually)

Made in the USA

 

go with Mavic Kyserium Equipes. They are light and a good all purpose wheel. Not too stiff so they are good for long rides. I've got 2000 miles on mine and no problems so far.

 

i am looking at this site.

dont really know where to look online. i would go to the local bike store but they are crazy expensive

 

well, you are probably are gonna pay and arm and a leg for shipping since you are in Hawaii.

The bike store should be able to order you a set of wheels that can fit your price range

 

im actually in oregon going to school

 

Honestly I'd check out a bike shop and see what they can do for you

and shop around, there should be plenty of bike shops where you are at

It's a blast to ride.
