new bits for the allez

[iLB]

recently had a new set of tyres, new pair of wheels, new saddle and new bar tape

Is that where you make up your energy drinks? How do you get water Or do you just be a man and take the powder with no water?
Grass could do with a cut


Oh, how do you keep your bike so clean when you use it every day? I presume you do use it every day?

the picture does make it look clean doesnt it
its not that clean in reality i can assure you, flecks of brown from when i was out in the wet on Thursday all over it and the bar tape is only that clean as it was fitted 1/2 an hour previous

i was fresh back from the LBS with the Lemon and Lime SIS, i didn;t think they woukd have been in the photo though, grass needs to be a bit longer to hide them

I like the little bar end+ saddle colour scheme going on there

Let us know how comfy the saddle pans out to be - I think mine may need a change soon. How much did it set you back?

and is it time to get some white hoods yet?

 

[Joe24]

White hoods will make it look naff i think.
Get pink ones

 

[iLB]

white hoods do not exist for the lowly groupo that is Tiagra

so far so good with the saddle, doing 150 odd miles tomorrow though so will be able to give a better account of its comfort levels - and it cost me nothing

Looking good

I'd be interested to hear how the red on the saddle lasts for you, mine lasted 2 days before wearing off, it now looks pink in places and red where I don't rest my butt, Spez said sorry but thats normal

don't say that
it's going to stay red forever... isn't it??

No, it will probably go pink very soon, with the rest of the red on your bike. You think white and red looks good? What do you think about white and pink?

 

[iLB]

pink is the red...

 

[fossyant]

Bit of bling there.......saddle has a hole in it though !

 

[Mista Preston]

looks good Andy. Let me know if you need relieving of your old rims

 

[Aperitif]

Very nice Andy - have a good run out tomorrow.
Shame about the pink saddle effect though...never mind - just stay seated and no one will notice. Your cuissard will develop a rosy glow though and you will look like a baboon in season honking uphill!

Only joking.

Tomorrow's rain will keep everything spick and span.

because I spent 2 hours showing him how to take it apart and give it a bleedin good clean
