My new Carbon - Merida Scultura 905

[young Ed]

Thanks :-)

No turbo or rollers, we don't have a garage (previous owners converted it to a room which is the kids playroom) so I don't really have the space.

which room does the missus spend least time in?
Cheers Ed

The hallway I guess but that's about 3ft square

Trying to persuade the in-laws to clear out their garage but being a retired chap he's too busy to do it of course!

Bar tape changed, my seat and pedals are on - tyres next on the list! (Yes the wife is out!!)

Drop the stem on its arse and lift the saddle!!!

So I can't touch the pedals you mean it might be tweaked a little more when i go for my fitting but it's not far out as it is (and probably and inch up from the first photo) Back issues mean that I need a higher front end (for now anyway) but again I will see what a fitting brings

Oh, where are you going for your fitting?

 

[young Ed]

i really don't know why but it is telling me it needs a new seatpost!

Not decided as yet but will probably go to Thomas's in Colchester for the Specialized BG fit. How did yours go at lifecycle?

I'm kind of with you on that one, it's a bit "strange". If i need a different stem then I can see a matching post appearing at some point!

i think what it needs is a plain black, no decals/writing, seat post and stem
carbon of course!

I'd recommend the LifeCycles fit, they're very friendly and will now adjust any bike I buy anywhere to the 'fit' they gave me.

Just a local bike shop staffed with enthusiastic staff. They didn't even laugh when I took my knackered and muddy old bike in with me for the fit.

why didn't you take your best road bike or whatever you have with you?
did they try selling you a new bike? or some mucoff products?

They had some really nice bikes too. Shame.

Pedal Power are still around! They have a bigger shop around the corner on Anson Road! Drove past the other day but haven't had a chance to pop in yet. Looks like a bigger setup though.

I thought that when I got an email blast from them!
