Cycling (Road Bike) Thread

Decals are definitely coming off. The front ring is a 53.

 

My Lynskey Helix. I absolutely love this bike! It's the 2nd Lynskey I've owned, they know Ti bikes, that's for sure. This one is fitted with Sram Force AXS, first time I've had electronic components. I was skeptical, but no more, smoooooth and snappy shifting. Running a Hammerhead karoo 2 for a computer, very happy with that so far.

 

My custom painted Gunnar Roadie. I'll be buried with this bike.

 

Any cyclist out there watching the Tour De France? These are the best stages IMO. with gruelling long steep climbs in the French Alps followed by harrowing screaming downhills of 50+ mph speeds. With massive pileups in the Peloton, making it always exciting. Airs at 3:30 am, but I'm recording it One more week to go.

 

I'm watching on GCN+. Best way to avoid the dreadful American commentary and stream it live, or, whenever you want.

I watch pretty much every race except the Tour. At this point in the summer I'm doing my own thing and don't watch much. For a number of reasons I'm mostly home and have been watching. This last week could be one of the Tours ever. Could be another Lemond vs Fignon race. I hope.

Or...one of them cracks and it's all over.

 

Haven't missed a minute yet. Everyday super exciting, torn right now between cheering for the American Neilson Powless or Ciccone for the Polka dots as I am a huge Trek fanboy. Zwift has a few of the climbs on there currently and did the Puy de Dome and it was a grueling climb.

 

As a huge Trek boy here is my and my girlfriend's dad Madones....

 

I’ve been watching it on YouTube. I can watch the whole stage in like 30 minutes instead of 6 hours. A couple of stages behind now, but will catch up tonight or tomorrow. So far it’s been a good tour

 

In case you missed it..... Jonas Vinegaard (Team Jumbo/Visma) won the 110th edition of the Tour de France, winning for the second year in a row.

 

Jasper Philipen, Tadej Poacar, Jonas Vinegaard, Giulio Cicone show off their Jerseys. 

 

Trek also had the best looking bike in the tour.....

Also even though I thought Philipsen was a dick most of the tour, his green jersey Canyon was pretty nice looking as well

 

Here goes my 2018 Specialized tarmac Expert, chameleon blue with Dura Ace cranks, Dura Ace shifters, Dura ace brakes, pretty much stock. Needs some nice carbon wheels, got 2 flat tires on my last evening ride

Hell, no.

 

I'll pass.. I'd ride down it, probably swap out brake pads a time or two on the decent.

 

If I ever won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs.....

The seasuckers worked pretty well, my future FIL's setup is pretty nice with them. Hopefully he will let me drive it someday
