That "The Hill-Side" vid they just linked to on FB is so, so bad. Golf? GQ??? "Buy to rebel"? Yeah right... This obsession with everything Japanese is so stale and sad as well, as perfectly illustrated by the guys in the video. It's just a joke. From the "Hell yeah" at hitting a golf ball into a net, to the dying fart of an attempt at a Pixies sing-a-long at the end, this is just terrible. Bring back bikes FFS.

Euro / Pro.

If you don't want carbon, go for the carbon

DA C35 vs RS831 C35 Vs Zonda (30 / 26mm)? Price difference obviously. What's the actual weight of the DA C35's? Everywhere seems to have different numbers.

Lever clamp. And saddle.

SuperSix is an older now discontinued model.

SuperSix Evo and Hi Mod apparently come from the same mould and have the same geo, but the Hi Mod uses more "high modulus" fibres, making it lighter and slightly comfier? Sub-700g vs 950g for SSE.

Still lots of SSE bikes on sale at the moment.

"EVO Nano: The lightest EVO frame utilizes advanced high modulus BallisTec Construction and nano tech resins for maximum weight savings

EVO Hi-MOD: The gold-standard for elite race frames.High modulus fibers are used to precisely tune stiffness, while high tensile strength fibers and high impact resins deliver high strength.

EVO Carbon: By using a higher percentage of intermediate-modulus fiber to tune the stiffness, we are able to expand the EVO line with a super high-performance, sub-950 gram frame. Offered both with and without internal rear brake routing."

The Sportful softshells have good reviews online and come in fluro.

Most Planet-X's are anti, just because.

Won't that be way too warm for cycle touring?

I bought a second-hand Western Mountaineering MegaLite (200cm, 710g, -2degC, 850+ down). Have a liner to take it down another few degrees if it's really cold.

Would always fight for an op, even though they're getting more difficult to get if you're not already in A&E immediately after the accident, and decide you want one later via your GP. 11 months after LockDown and shoulder feels great, no bump and fine with bags.

They're also supplied with 25c tyres, e.g: "Mavic Aksion, 700x25c, folding"

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't bump them on purpose. They stopped in front of me at a 90deg angle and I rode into the side of their back wheel, not fast. Just never had carbon before, plus I'm big and heavy, so wanted to check.

Which ATAC's are those? These might be lighter but £££ and an older model:

SuperSix Evo fork would save some weight if it fits the steerer.
Zonda wheels maybe? Seem a good price for the weight.
Fizik Cyrano R3 bars are a bit lighter too, but wouldn't bother if you're happy with the Deda shape.

Nice to enjoy older bikes like this for what they are rather than trying to WW them. My Peugeot 653 weighs 10kg but I love it and it's fast.

Ah of course.

"The resins we use are High Strength, High Impact resins similar to what is used in the construction of carbon baseball bats"

"SPEED SAVE Fork
This 315 gram fork features full BallisTec carbon construction"

Probably nothing to worry about then...

Oh yeah, I remember now. Military spec or something. Why DT instead of TT?

Never had a carbon frame and curious about its strength. Seen videos on YouTube of hammers etc, but not exactly representative of real-life use, and I guess the pro peleton get on crashed bikes and ride them to the finish, but are those bikes then used again afterwards? How many bumps and knocks can they take, short of a full on crash? SuperSix for example.

Another cyclist pulled out in front of me and then stopped at a roundabout, so I bumped their back wheel, but not fast, and managed to unclip and get my foot down without falling over. Nothing to worry about I'm sure.

Aksium wheelset is holding up nicely too. Surprised with 20 spokes compared to the 32 I usually have.

Price drops.

£75 posted.

:)

Or Ridley.

Those Cinellis are horrid and the 'Nago is nice. Dirty bar tape at least shows it has been ridden.

Looking for Exposure Blaze and Toro or Diablo in good condition if anyone has them for sale.

Rapha need size options for hats, like Assos and Walz.

Wouldn't think 27 and guards would fit.

Had drop bar levers and V-brakes on my Pomp and worked perfectly. Cane Creek and Tektro do specific V-brake drop bar levers. I have some spare if you're interested and you think what you have won't work.

Will return these to where I bought them from soon if no one wants them. Will be cheaper here though.
