New Bike ~ Yippee!!

Much niceness. Well done on finally buying something!

SHMBO.. says I can never make my mind up... must be my star sign.

Lol.

Is it an aluminium model? My sister got a Giant Escape recently, it's very light for the price and spec. Nice ride too. I also hand-weighed a standard-spec aluminium Defy 2 at my work's bike shed the other day and was startled by how light it was - much lighter than the carbon Ribble Gran Fondo next to it.

It is the alloy one and as you say nice and light, plus the finish is very good..

.. my first job is to put black bar tape on as its got too many colours for me.. and change them white tyres... uuuck.. when they run out of course.

Lovely looking bike, but my lower back hurts just thinking about a racer like that

Hi Deano..
I did look at Wiggle and for the UK they were about the cheapest, but I got mine over here in Spain at a shop called Dr Bikes in Granada even allowing for the exchange rate @ 1.20 euro I payed £780.. so a good price I thought.

Nope just red tape and a white saddle...it's a road bike

Durr really.

What is the emoticon for "ironic" or should one hope it isn't needed?

Lovely bike

I have to also say that this is the first time I have read or heard the word yippee in about 20 years LOL

 

[Dangermouse]

I remember my Cubes white bar tape looking pristine

Ditto.........my tape is a fantastic shade of dirt now

Anyway enjoy the new bike Boon its nice to see some manufacturer putting a chainset on to go with the front and rear mechs are the calipers 105 too or the usual Tektro 540s

Not a bad compromise - this is quite red!
