FINALLY MANAGED TO GET A PROPEL...

CANT WAIT TILL IT COMES TOMORROW

TIME FOR SOME UPGRADES View attachment 62242

Great bike. This will be my next bike in the new year albeit with standard wheelset and 105 instead of ultegra.

 

[Dibs]

Spoken a a LBS and got this put aside for me. May be a few months before collection, but hopefully worth the wait!

Last photo of my much loved, used and endlessly abused 2004 TCR1 in one piece ....

She's now being stripped for my Rourke build. If I can get the odd-sized Cane Creek headset replaced, She might get reincarnated in another form. The frame is still in excellent shape and with a bit if spit and polish, shines line a new dime.

In the time I've had her, she's TT'd, club runned, credit card toured with a monster saddlebag, audaxed, mud plugged, and and averaged 40mph down Ventoux solid as a rock. She's been a great companion.

However, it was when I swung the leg over the 1982 steel Holdsworth from biggs682 of this parish, I realised that for all her competence, she sadly just lacked a little excitement that essential joi de vie.

Fond Farewell.

Giant Rapid 3

Giant Defy

No longer have the Rapid - but loved it - was the bike that got me back into cycling. The Defy took some getting used to due to some problems with my shoulder. The guys at Giant were very helpful in getting things right and love riding this also!

Finally bought myself a modern bike! To be used for long rides into the country. Keeping the steelie for daily use

Giant defy 4 in metallic blue. Was on offer in local shop. Was going to maybe get a defy 5 or an equivalent from another manufacturer. But came back to giant. (Had giant mountain bikes for about 20years) This worked out cheaper than a 5, even with a fancy pump etc.

Hadn't ridden it by this point. So saddle is way to low in pic. Bit of messing got it right. Felt a bit upright at 1st compared to my retro racer. But once you get going you fly along, but in a relaxed manner not really keen on the White saddle and tape, but will replace when they get overly grubby!

I have a Giant Roam 1 2014 as my road bike

My upgrades are:
Shimano SPD Pedals
Continental Touring Reflex road tyres
Uberbike 160mm floating rotors
Charge Spoon Chromo saddle
Topeak Super Tourer DX rack
Altura Orkney 56 Rear Panniers and Dryline Top Bag

It is upgraded for function over form as I shall be riding lejog solo unsupported and camping for charity in June. As well as many other solo touring efforts

The picture doesn't show the saddle, rotors or tyres but I don't have a recent photo of it yet
