Caad 12 with 28 gp5000s is a surprisingly capable gravel bike.
Still gonna buy a topstone though.

Qr fork! Might be the new year by the time I sell mine now unfortunately. Thanks though @glws

Lovely nivacrom Roberts on retrobike http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=418116

Yeah, the new ones (post 2018?) are nice. Just not sure if the alu are as good and I'd rather not spend ££££ on something which'll realistically see little use this winter. Hoping for some post lockdown/inclement weather bargains in the next month or so.

As @phildas alluded to a couple of pages back, I have a 56cm caad12 disc to offload as soon as I find something to replace it. No reason other than wanting something more blingy, the frame itself is brilliant.
Looking for supersix HM disc team edition (the nice 2018 one ideally) or maybe even a (dareisayit) caad13 frameset. If anyone spots one or has one I'd be massively interested, got the money waiting. Black inc supersix on eBay at the moment but £1700 can gtf.
Rode with someone on a synapse HM the other day and I remembered how nice they are now. Do the carbon rim brake ones from a couple of years back take mudguards properly? It's hard to tell from Google and eBay, but it seems like it would tick a lot of winter bike boxes. I don't know how the alu ones ride but they look slow.

Even more unlikely 3rd dibs

Ah cheers @yeahdext. Drop me a pm @samdaniel, sounds like I have exactly what you're after!
-
Ok cool.
-
Cool. It's as described really, prang is shown below. Looks worse in the picture. I've no concerns about it!
Probably looking for £300 posted. I can sell the red Etap post mount caliper with it if need be.
-
It's a wheels mfg bb30a to GXP adapter in there at the moment, which I can leave in if required. I'll try and find out what I paid for the whole thing.
Right, looks like I paid £300 for Frameset, post and headset bung, £350 for the wheels (was p/X so hard to work out exactly what).
-
If I were to, theoretically, put my 56cm disc (QR version with flat mount rear, post front) caad12 up for sale, would anyone be interested? What's the going rate? It's good condition bar a slight knock to the top tube from bars swinging round.
I also have some c zero disc wheels to sell with it/separately.
Steerer has been chopped but room for any stem and at least 5mm spacer on top depending on stem height. Also includes fancy carbon seatpost.
-
It's not too bad, I only noticed it way after I did it, so not anything I'm too concerned about. I think I did it by forgetting I'd leant it against the garage door then opening said garage door, bars swung round :(
-
Saw that 54 purple one and was so close to buying but really can't be arsed having to strip my current one, sell all the bits etc just for a nicer colour... If a 56 comes along I might find it harder to resist though.
First bike I've owned which I don't get bored of looking at. I did manage to put a dent in the top tube dropping it on the bars the other day though so I basically have to get a new frame now. TCR maybe?...
-
Christ. That's something else.
-
Nice one, thanks. Where to do it was going to be my next question.
-
Seems to have been asked a lot on the Rapha site with no answer so trying here - anyone know if the new classic sunnies will take prescription (tinted) lenses? I'm assuming there's no way of getting the fancy lenses with a prescription, but if Oakley is anything to go by that'd be $$$$$ anyway.
-
The big one is Max, man.
-
Anyone available to collect a bike from Maidstone and post to York? May be related to the above.
-
Tandem alert
-
Does anyone happen to have a couple of these lying around? I managed to lose my screws when replacing bearings a while ago and I don't want to have to buy 6.
-
And finally (lots of nice stuff at the moment), a strangely appealing Claud MTB frameset. Looks very 'now'.
-
Speaking of tubing: possible bargain max frameset. Can't tell if it is actually max for the frame but that seat cluster is nice.

Had to go and check but my caad12 with no exotic parts, LB 50mm rims, and red Etap is 8kg on the nose. It'd take a fair amount of money/compromises to get it to 7.5.
It might be slightly under 8 without all the filth from today's ride on it.
