I can dream, and theres me getting excited about upgrading from 8sp to 9spWell after my trip to lbs my decision is i am ordering this
http://www.dolan-bikes.com/road/roa...n/dolan-l-etape-carbon-road-bike-builder.html
Full 105 carbon full carbon frame and fork.
Its just something different from the usual giants and specialized's around these parts
Personnaly for what you get and the price you ain't gonna get much better, and from my current bike it's gonna be like going from a fiesta to a ferrari...
, let us know how you get on. I will watch how you improve. I keep looking for a decent weight tiagra triple, I have some books dad left worth some money (not much but a good chunk of a reasonable bike).

@BBikey well done and great progress. As @Nigelnaturist says be prepared to lose interest in other hobbies/pastimes lol. I was a very keen angler but not been since I took up cycling.
A friend of mine started cycling 2 years ago after having serious health issues and had a pacemaker fitted. 2 years on and he's lost 4 stone and done numerous 100 mile rides and most rides are now 50 mile+ at a great pace. Just goes to show the progress that can be made sticking at it.

I haven't been fishing since I got back on the bike either, took a walk down the canal today and thinking of getting the gear back out.
I keep getting the urge to go now my son's getting a bit older so can take him and also the nice weather she been having. May get myself a day licence and go wet a line soon.

None at all SteveNo pressure then eh @Nigelnaturist ....
, more out interest, I would love to know what losing upto 3Kg's on a bike could make. I am interested in the Planet-X entry level bike at a climed 8.8Kg, the draw back is its a compact or a double, and in the few rides I have had on the 9sp I have started to like the really close grouping I have, I can only find one cassette in the range a 12-25 which would mean I would lose 3" and if the extra 3kg's would compensate on a 34-50 compactTriban5riderGD

Today was a mile stone day for my son and I.
This morning we set off from Orpington with flapjacks and jelly babies a plenty, intending to exceed the 50 mile bench mark by riding to Rochester and back using as many country lanes as possible. Having arrived back home both cycle computers showed in excess 62.22 miles ridden. To say we are chuffed would be an understatement as this is our longest single ride to-date.
