Re: bicycles

thanks! The frame is a carbon fibre CX specific, built and purchased from the X-pace factory in China, where frames for very famous european brands are built (Merckx, Fondriest and others).
A bit soul-less when compared to a beautiful lugged steel frame but very light, stiff and super fast!

Re: bicycles

I got hit by a car on Friday. Bike is totalled. I somehow managed to leap free and only got bruises and a few cuts. Confidence has taken a battering, I dont think I will be riding to work in peak hour for a while. Need a new bike anyway  neutral

Re: bicycles

^^ Ouch!

Bought this handy bike. Good for rides in the city but not so much for long rides. It's foldable so you can take it with you in your car and go on by bike from any point (avoiding parkingzones in the city ;-).

And it was on sale at Blokker for just 99euro!

Re: bicycles

Re: bicycles

That's insane. What the hell justifies such a price? Autoparking, reverse gear... or is it just the limited edition, single sided, no repress vinyl of bikes?

Re: bicycles

Apparently they've spared no expense. Every single little part is the best of the best. But it's not even pretty!

Re: bicycles

Agreed, for that price I would expect best parts, head turning looks and maybe some cool james bond features.

Re: bicycles

man, two punctures yesterday, had to fix the second one in the pissing rain.
got home and decided to change the tyre to a more puncture resistant model.
got up this morning and my back wheel wouldn't move because the tyre couldn't clear the brakes, too much kevlar i guess
