Dont have anything larger than a 28 to try so cant comment but id be suprised if it fit larger than that. I dont ride on larger than 25s usually on roadbikes.

Sold

That is a seriously nice looking car.

Needs to be in v good condition

Thx for suggestions

Moots cr with a 57.5 toptube or to small perhaps? Its a compact tho

Both the IF and Tommasini have a Berk Lupina Cheers .)

Well i have cages for them all they are just not installed .) Usually have one bike with cages and bottles but as i said i dont have the energy (or perhaps the will) to go on a lot of rides anymore. weekends are for getting some time off the bike. I carry a water bottle in my backpack on hot days or sometimes on the bike but i dont really need them for couriering where i rarely go longer than 20 min between stops.

Thats a real nice bike. Have not seen cascarsi before i think.

Thank you!

I have zipp contour sl with the traditional bend on all of my bikes. Its my favorite bars and the decals are removable with a bit of work. They are however getting harder to come by these days.

Nice visual shape and classic appearance with a flat transition to the hoods and a low weight. Great bars imo

Yeah well im a bike nut through n through and honestly i dont have the energy to ride my bikes a lot outside of work anymore. Some years ago i still enjoyed grouprides or similar but now the weekends are for relaxing and getting some energy back .) So theres not a lot of time to enjoy the bikes if i dont ride them while working. + Life is to short to ride crappy bikes right. Food deliveries used to be maybe 40% of our workload or something like that pre corona and currently only 10% or so.

Think ive been doing this courier gig for 2 decades or more now and my love for nice bikes just seem to escalate tbh .)

Yeah has been my experience as well. Was bit chocked when alex called me from italy after expressing interest on their website only an hour later or so.

Cheers the tomassini is easy on the eyes for me to.

I actually havent looked at the battaglin much yet. Yeah sound crazy i realize that but if i take it out and start playing with it all of a sudden it will be half built with 2 months left before i can ride it .) Dident see anything of the bat that made me feel dissapointed tho so hopefully no nasty surprises when i have a closer look.

Oh thats pretty great

hahah yeah. To each there own but the thing i like about steel bikes is the slender and agile looks. Always thinks it gets kinda lost on the massive oversized tubes of late and those headtube lugs look out of place for me but then again im older now and from my comment i guess im turning into a retrogrouch as well .) Im using all my powers to refrain from commenting on discs.

We dont have deliveroo here. I work for a company called Joyride that we started 3 years ago or similar.

My best bike, hmm i like all my bikes but my tommasini is my favorite in total. My IF is my favorite to ride. My Chinese ti may be my best as it does everything well and sports fat tires which helps when i miss a curb here n there as im not great technically ;) + we do a lot of food deliveries now and flatbar just makes it so much easier.

Cant pick but If someone held a gun to my head i would keep the tomassini i think ? and just walk during the winters..

Ha yeah. There are few cromovelatos u see in good condition. Will be one of my workbikes so i guess im in for a few tears sooner or later :/

I had it made with threadless steerer so Will look bit more modern.

Also managed to find my favorie group, the super record rs with silver logos and italian flag. Should go well with the frame i Hope.

Also had the seat/toptube lug made in pink instead of polished as i think it will look better with a carbon post but still work ok if i want to do a silver build in the future.

And bought a set of hyperon on here a while back that Will likely get to go on it.

Should be nice alltho one never really knows until u see it live and adjust Accordingy ;)

Yeah pink battaglin cromovelato. Looks Great, if i had been mixing i would have made it a tad lighter shade but i havent seen it in the sun yet so think it will give that effect Possibly 🤗

When the snow is gone i shall make a contribution here. Tho its not really old but the technology and Looks are. Just took delivery yday. Exiting 🤗

Beautiful bike! Always want it when i see one but too big.

I think 99% of those 6’2 would not be able to straddle the toptube. More likely a good fit for yr average 6’4 guy if one can call those average.

Sorry i do not. Im not so fond of 17 degrees stems in general. I think a 12 degree or there about goes better with a level toptube as 17s usually look like a negative angle when mounted which i never cared for much. But im peculiar i guess .) and i dont have a 12 degree spare either unfortunately.

Hard to come by other than 6 degree stems in ti in general. Moots made a 10 degree for a while but mostly in longer sizes. There are customs ofc but they rarely seem to come up for sale.

Moots with a 57.5 toptube?

If you allrdy paid for them before brexit? Then u paid for them incl uk vat. If u can get them to reimburse you for that vat once they ship it will likely not be a big difference. If you however cant get them to do that im willing to bet you will be forced to pay vat+duty in whatever eu country you are receiving them in. So that would basicly be like paying double vat.

I dont think a lot of smaller shops will have a plan for how to proceed on orders like these so i think it will be up to you to make sure the do it correctly till they are used to the process.

I could be wrong but they got little to gain to be on top of things so why not wait right? Its not them paying double vat. (think shops will adapt once they know how to and realize they have to as eu customers will now think their products are 25% more expensive than they used to be).

news here says it was a disgruntled employee who changed it, he also did pence it said.

She is adorable
