I never got to post a pic of my bike as its crap so I never bothered.
The old bike porn post seems to have died so here is the new thread for those who havenn't posted.

Here's my new steed... Conehead I know you recommended a TT but I went for a really good road rather than a crap TT. There always next year for a TT mind!!!!

The groupset and wheels will be different, went for the good frame with the view to upgrading.....

picking her up in two weeks courtesy of Bridgetown Cycles...... Can't speak highly enough of them. Well done to Mike.

    Took the advice from the forum and will go for Sram Rival, Bontrager X-Lite seatpost, Race Lite handlebars, Race Lite stem, Bontrager Race saddle, Shimano RS 10 wheels, Race X Lite Hardcase tyres.

    Would never have thought that I am going to spend so much money on a bike .... still have to confess to the WAT office.

    Willeverfinish - Bertha - sound name - reliable, keeps you out of trouble in a fix, knows how to dish it out!

    Dependable, hard as nails in a ruck, mysterious and a bit naughty when she wants to be..... and the name of my beloved Golf R32 I had to sell when the kids came along to make way for a bloody people carrier.

    I like to think the car and the bike have very similar attributes hence the same name.
