Friend of mine with a top of the range Giant roadie had the top-tube crushed by the work stand at the shop - they had to replace the frame.

Reminds me that my new bike is due for its first 'warranty' service... Wonder if it matters that the frame and fork are the only original parts left...

The new (to me) roadie before the Ride To Conquer Cancer over the weekend. Looks mostly the same now just brown and in need of some love which it's truly earned...

Hi Airedale,
What rims are those, and where did you get them?
Both bikes look fantastic BTW!

Should I go compact?
Hey Cul,
Thanks. I love these things - pure race bikes that can take a beating.
The Spooky (purple) has mavic reflex tubular to DT Swiss 340s. The gaulzetti is on a pair of Reynolds Strikes - 66mm carbon cllinchers. You can get the reynolds anywhwere, I find they're more fashion than function though and prefer racing on tubulars.
Bugger I was hoping they would be some china carbon - I'm looking for a replacement rim that looks similar to a Zipp without the price tag (or dimples obviously) these appear to have a similar carbon layup.
I prefer riding on Tubulars FULLSTOP! :hand:
Probably why I have three sets of tubular wheels!
Compact is for girly men! :tsk:
Unless you live in the mountains, or have one leg... Or live in the mountains with one leg!

I have a 53/39 on my bike for no other reason other than this. If i had my time again I would have got a 52/36 mid compact thing.
Bought this about 6 weeks ago at a sale price I couldn't pass up.
Have been getting it set up the way I wanted it. First ride yesterday.
Azzurri Forza RL carbon
Full red 11
Stans Alpha 400 wheels set up tubeless- swapped from Mavic Ksyrium Equipe
Easton EC70 bars- swapped from FSA
Thomson masterpiece- swapped from FSA team (may swap to Syntace Hiflex)
Ronin saddle- swapped from white Prologo
swapped white bar tape to black
Sweet to ride and a vast improvement from my old Giant Defy 9sd and a heap lighter at 7.1kg
Brakes are amazing, double tap had me stumped for a few minutes but getting used to it now.

You may all remember that my Moots was totalled when I slammed into a triuck that failed to give way last year.
Well I found another one a few weeks ago on Bike Exchange.
It was going stupidly cheap ($2,500 for frame, fork, stem, seatpost and CK headset), so I grabbed it.

Nice looking bike! The saddle looks a bit...angled? What are you doing with the stem and bars??????
I love my sram. Rode my young blokes Giant TCR with ultegra the other day and could not wait till I got back onto my Boardman with sram..

How nice are WI hubs?!
I knew it wouldn't take long to have the thing pimped. Just makes me laugh when in a crit and the bunch is chewing stem that I look up and see this bloke riding a Moots just smiling.. That sir is effing kooky.
