Unexpected expense.

[gaijintendo]

I only have three... and two are the same frame... So only two. And the other one is a fixie. So only really one and a half.

You have to be careful what you write on these forums... 12 hours later and I just got landed with a Felt F95 and a an ebike because my brother is going through a pretty gruesome break up.
That should be a good thing, but I got rage clostrophobia whilst trying to get them all in my shed.

I am looking as 7 as I write this, seems my wife struggles with what else to buy me for birthday presents.

Yep, come to my senses at last, I don't really need 5 bikes ( so my wife keeps telling me) and to be fair, she's right.

Sell the wife problem sorted

That's a strange shade of red .

That's because it is orange.

Have you had chance to ride it yet? If so, how are you finding the headset suspension - the "futureshock" in Specialized blurb?

Is the rear wheel central between the seatstays ?

Did 20 miles on it earlier. It rides very well and absorbs road bumps better than a rigid bike. So far, very satisfied. I will be using it to do the Tour de Mon sportive on August 20th. The handlebar is very comfortable due to being wide and well padded. You can rest your hands on top rather than gripping it. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, why wouldn't it be?

Looks a little bit out in the second photo but maybe it's the camera angle. Anyway, that looks like a proper beast of a bike which will tackle all sorts. Hope you have many happy miles together !

Thanks!

Hi - how did the Tour de Mon go?

Also, could I ask re sizing - what size did you go for and what height are you please? I'm trying to finalise my decision on whether to go for one or not....https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/specialized-roubaix-elite-or-expert-2017.223102/#post-4936419

Hi. Tour de Mon went well. 46 miles in 3hours 22 minutes. Not world breaking record but at 66years old, happy with that.
