Garage Find

Hi Guys

There was alot of talk recently about Softrides…

I found one in the Next door Neighbours Garage and have bought it off him…

Anyone know much about them… Full carbon fibre Pretty sure its a Zipp but not sure on model…

150mm rear spacing

How I found it

Newish Campy Cranks, Dura Ace F & R Deraileurs and 600 tricolour sti’s and theSpinergy rear wheel…

After a clean

Front wheel was a bit shit so i wacked on my open pro laced to AC hub…

Couple more pics


This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
I want it.

Titainium Stem not sure of brand tho…

Nice!! There were a few different models of Softrides… Check their site! This one does look very very similar to those zipp bikes however I think the beam is different on the zipp’s. Still very cool!

Has horizontal drop outs as well

As the decal say’s its a softride not Zipp

Fix it.
Also get your arse down to polo beofre you leave!

150mm rear spacing?

Yeah 150mm

The Spinergy has a one piece spacer on the non drive side…

Whats the best way to Fix the rear??

Surly Fixer?

Will use this for the Bridges of Brissy alley for a Laugh I think

This is weird shit, looks like a zipp 2001 frame with a softride beam attached…

all i can think of is: straight forks, and barspinnable?

Yeah I can’t find much info at all…

Just below Where the Soft ride bar a attaches the the frame is different square instead of curved…

Should be fun tho

I like you Adrian but I reckon that bike is FUGLY!!
What did Rach say?

Faaaarkin ugly.

good luck with that.

It got pushed straight into the man cave… She already thinks 2 bikes is to many… wait till she finds out there 5 under there…

This sheds a little light on the frame…
