Just picked up this Allez Carbon Epic....looking to build up with Campag once the rest of the money is saved up....

Once its built I would be very interested to hear what you think of how it rides. A very interesting evolutionary step in carbon bikes.

View attachment 77499 View attachment 77496 My first carbon ever .... Changed the colour of the tyres .... Taking off continental ultra race and replacing with unbranded purple .... Causing much disgust amongst my cycling buddies I don't care .... I think it's girly and I love it

I'm jealous - love the tyres!

Thank you .... I'm calling it the Marmite bike - half my pals like it, other half hate it ... Sheesh boys are hard work !!!

Ultegra DI2 TT... Nice.

Does having the gear buttons near the brakes make it more usable in traffic?

Will certainly do that Paul

Another upgrade, A nice set of Mavic sle wheels, looking forward to the first ride.

Managed to find a bargain PX Pro frame with my Christmas money, and set about my first roadbike build. I reckon it looks pretty good, and rides very nicely. Do not adjust your set, those are 46cm bars to go with my shoulders.

 

[MrGrumpy]

46cm!! geezo I ride 42cm which may seem small but suits me fine, not keen a on big wide bars.

My shoulders measure 45cm centre humerus to humerus, and conventional fitting wisdom suggests adding a couple of cm to allow for outwards rotation. A review of the Ergonova suggests that if anything they come up a bit narrow, but with a flare to the drops. They feel pretty good compared with the 40s on my last bike. I'm no racing snake, so a bit of comfort goes a long way!

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yep I suspose I ended up with 42cm FSA compact bars as was fitted to my new bike and I have to say they are the most comfortable bars I`ve used. Beenc keeping an eye out on the carbon equivalent prices, going to see if I can raise some funds
