Already posted one or two of these in the new members section, didnt realise there was a specific section for posting pics so here are are a few more too. Joined the forum only recently after buying a new bike a few weeks back in order to get back into cycling. Appologies if some of you have seen some of these pics already.
Cannondlae Synapse Carbon: replaced all Black cable outers with Red ones, Red anodised chainring bolts and jockey wheels, and Hope QR wheel skewers, along with KMC Gold slotted chain. Bike actually came with Shimano wheels but had a pair of Mavic Aksium ones going spare so fitted those instead. One slightly annoying aspect is that the cables touch the frame in a few places, I would imagine they would cause chafe or rubbing marks after a period of time so placed some short strips of White or Black electrical insulation tape where this occurs. Should stop any cable damage to the frame finish.
Can honestly say that so far I have enjoyed getting back on a bike.
One of my interests is Aviation, and two or three weeks ago cycled out to Hardwick, a former WWII airbase where 'planes do sometimes still fly from. This was my longest ride to date, just over 40 miles, since getting back into cycling. On the day there were a few light aircraft and a couple of P-51 Mustangs flying. (The owner regularly flys the Mustangs from there).

) they all had tan coloured sidewalls, to me bikes with all black sidewalls look a bit odd, although most of them seem to be that way now.
