Show Us Your Carbon!!!

Nice.

Great looking frame, but the carbon monocoque Vitus/Villiger ZX1 of the early 90s pre-dates the 386 by about 10 years or so.

I read on the LOOK .co. forum that the 386 was the World first. Could they have meant in the Tour De France where several were entered ? I never new carbon fibre was that old. Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure what they meant, without seeing what they actually said. But if they were claiming that the 386 was the world's first carbon monocoque, then you have to assume that whoever said it was not aware of the Vitus which preceded it.

Just taken delivery of my warranty replacement from Planet X. Think I preferred the look of the RT57, but it's no longer available, so I'm now the owner of this RT80

I had SRAM force on a bike once. Excellent groupset-enjoy!

It's the groupset off the old bike, PX transferred all components onto the new frame, apart from BB & chainset which are new as the old ones weren't compatable. It is the nicest groupset I've had on any bike. I find the hoods more comfortable than shimano & the shifting is super smooth

Eastway Emitter R3. From Wiggle. Full carbon with shimano 105. Less than a grand. My first carbon.

Stealth is the word-like it!

Stealth is the word-like it!

It does divide opinion! I'm currently looking for some bar tape to give it a little colour. The saddle has a yellow stripe as do the wheels so I'm looking for something predominantly black but with a little yellow. Surprisingly not a great deal of choice available.

It doesn't divide me mate, I love a drop of stealth.
Black bike, Black kit; a new super hero in the making, maybe?

Loving it Huw, loving the stealth look also.

My latest steed (to replace my "orange" Orbea) - mostly Campy SR11 with Cinelli Ram integrated bars/stem. Currently fitted with winter rims but I have some sexy full carbon rims for when the weather is drier!

The Orbea will now be built up into a winter bike.
