Pinarello Paris/profile clip ons -Triathlon
Ribble winter bike - Training/Turbo
Marin Rock Springs (full susser) - MTB
Dawes 501 Discovery - Work/Play
Giant SCR 4.0 '07- Hack bike
Giant Rincon- MTB
I'm a small man on a giant bike[;)]
Which is getting fitted properly shortly and having some tri-bars added... will probably race it this season and then replace at the end of the year (or at least upgrade lots of bits)
Giant TCR 1 Ultrega for good weather and racing
Giant XTC 3 for mountain biking
Trek 1200 hardtail (which I dont use nearly enough)
Dawes discovery for commuting practically everywhere.Very reliable bike, Its been stolen once and crashed twice, 8 y.o and nearly time for a change.
Road, Race, Training and 40-mile commute: Halfords Carrera Valour w. Shimano R500 wheels and Profile Design Tri-Bars. Soon to have Planet-X carbon forks added.
Weekends, Off-Road etc: GT XC2 - Hardtail.
I love the Carrera. It has been totally reliable, although I wouldn't take it back to Halfords for servicing - I do it myself. Could possibly do with a bigger gear on the Truvativ Compact set on the front, as a realistic cadence only gets you to about 45kph. Mind you... she hits 70kph at one point on the commute home :-)
Hey TTXPro... I've started another thread about having integrated tri bars but keeping the STI type shifters, i.e. shifters on the horns rather than the tri-bars. I reckon it would be a great idea for beginners who want the STI close to hand when climbing, but use the tri-bars on the flat. Make that an option on your new bike designs and you're onto a winner, I reckon. Commision please.
Genesis Day One flat bar road bike for commuting.
GT Aggressor MTB
Also a Specialised rockhopper pro MTB.
Both are great bikes
You know what I want?..... a trainer tire that slips on over the exsisting one so I dont have to sod about with two wheels / cassets etc. - actually perhaps a trainer that runs on the rims rather than the tires would be best. - je suis genious!
training/commute 2003 trek 1000 + upgrades
mtb spesh rockhopper
planet x road bike full carbon with profile areo-bars
(In other words: Yes I'm really jealous now[>:][:)]).
trek 1.2 for training and eventually competing.
I am thinking about buying a new road bike (interest free credit) at around £1400. My Trek, is a triple, because that is what I was advised to get, for the hilly terrain up north. Most people I see up north and a traithlons further south are using doubles.
Would I struggle, changing to a double ?
For tri- Scott CR1 carbon with Shimano 110- went for better frame and cheaper running gear- always possible to upgrade later. Have detachable profile aero bars and bottle holder. Put on training tyre for the turbo- would love to have a cheapo for the turbo- save changing tyres
Thorn EXP touring bike with Rohloff hub- commuting and long distance touring
Diamondback Voyager- ancient old hardtail- more of a truck than MTB- hence the coveting of new MTB
Any donations greatly received[:D]
PX Stealth for racing.
Focus cayo, specilized allez sport and a giant MTB (i dont actually ride the giant but its there!)
Dolan carbon TT bike
Focus Cayo road bike
Surosa Audax 'hack' bike
