Robwalker Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 All joking aside pants, why don't you join a club? I'm joining my local next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) There's a local tri club that ride every sunday morning, currently don't open on sundays so thats cool, but i usually go mtbing or whatever, so that kinda messes it up, and were due to be opening sundays again soon, so that won't help either. And if i was gonna join a roadie club, i'd get a fancy road bike. Very tempted by the team carbon... Or maybe a Dolan Mythos.

Robwalker Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 That Dolan Mythos is nice, but its spec lets it down. IIRC there the same wheels off the vanquish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Like f**k! It's a grand, full carbon, full ultegra and a mavic aksyrium wheelset. Proper good bike, especially for the money, especially as it's a Dolan.EDIT: Just seen a pic on google that might have thrown you off, it's only got a cheapish shimano wheelset there, the proper one comes with the aksyriums.

Robwalker Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah that's what i saw, although i'm having trouble finding any info on the model your talking about? Serious competition for the Boardman, suppose it was only a matter of time. Got any info on the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any info on the bike?Pics are just an idea, if you check the spec (on the sites i've seen) it lists it with the mavic wheels.You had a fancy road bike... why did you sell it if you wanna get another one?It was too big ideally, but i just didn't ride it enough, and now i've got the want for one again now.

The Stig Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thing is if you compare the spec and weight it is literally a bike whore thing. My comp is fine for cycling to and from work and college, i'm no triathlon racer so it is more than addaquette (SP) for me. I actually love it though, i never got roadies but now i have one i get it!! Fook me it is scary when the front goes a little at nearly 30 mph haha Anyone got any tips on a perfect set up angle wise on the bars?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fook me it is scary when the front goes a little at nearly 30 mph haha Anyone got any tips on a perfect set up angle wise on the bars?TomFair play.Generally, although it makes the bike looka bitttt gay, you want the hoods to be flat with the bars (like... _____)| bracket is end of hood, | is lever, obv line is bars, it works a lot better with the sram shifters, cos they're a better shape than the shimano ones, but generally levers vertical is about right. But it's just a case of getting it nice and tweaked for however you like it. Your wrists might be used to being straight, maybe bent downwards etc, so yeah, experiment. Also may want to consider how often you get down and hold behind the levers (aero tuck kinda thing), you wanna be able to brake so obviously don't have the levers angle too far pointing infront of you...

ZeroMatt Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone got some ultegra/sl rear mech spares?Also if a mate doesn't buy them I have an ax-lightness saddle and post for sale, phoenix saddle and daedalus post. Asking like 400 quid for the pair will let you know if they don't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
