New commute

[Paulwakefield]

Well, just thought I'd be rude and start a whole new thread to show a pic of my new bike.
It's a trek 1.5, 2nd hand, hardly used and like new. Bargain at £375 I think, came with shimano dx clipless pedals too.
2nd trek I've owned, previously had the 1.2 so the full tiagra groupset is a bonus, especially not having the little thumb switcher anymore.

Of course first upgrades will be kool stops and maybe some gp4000s.

Wow. It's soooo clean (looks at my bike and cries). Treks are great bikes. Hope you enjoy many Lycra clad Journeys.

Cool.
That bartape looks impeccably clean. Good luck keeping it that way!

 

[Paulwakefield]

It wasn't that clean, I used some hand cream cleaner on it. brings it up like new.

Very nice ... I presume you were able to persuade SWMBO?

 

[Paulwakefield]

Well sort of, she likes a bargain so I persuaded her that way.

WHAT..you did what now.....?

and that worked?

ok I need product names and cleaning regimes please...my white tape is...well...not.

PS, love the avatar...I may switch back to my old one today..its had a week off.

 

[Paulwakefield]

Haha. Gill from the Simpsons, just like me!

It was Morrisons cream hand wash, the one in a white bottle, that got the worst off, then baby wipes finished the job off.

Should have taken a before and after!

so you're an unlucky salesman then?

Mine was another Groening creation (fry...in many edited guises)

up until last week when I hit my 3000'th post and decided to clean out the closet a little...not sure I like the new one so much yet)

 

[Paulwakefield]

You can't beat a silly cartoon avatar, and I'm an unlucky sales manager, so nearly haha
