Post your roadie

…i did wonder what could be done with those two extra buttons!

Not sure if this passes as a roadie…im only riding it on the road if that helps…and also, there’s no Dad Bike category. Just got back into riding after a few years off (mainly because kids are enjoying it) so didn’t want to over invest and build up a fixie or proper roadie. Shall see how it goes, but there’s already some aesthetic mods coming soon…

That’s some true Perth gearing right there. And a very fancy paintjob. How’s it ride?

Factory paint, gearing looks bigger cos oval. But still only a 52.

Have only had the one shake down over the weekend, so still making adjustments.

But so far so good, my first modern alloy.

Finally got it back a few weeks ago after being built by insurance, new frame/group/wheels.

Pretty stoked.

Well that sure is pretty!

On the opposite end of the scale - here is my latest bike. Dedicated Zwift machine.

Too good for the Zwift!

Im always on the hunt for one.

As always, regretting letting my last CAD build go :frowning:

It has a few dings/pinches in the frame. Looks like ol mate who I bought it off didn’t treat it nice when loading it onto a car and clamping it on a bit too tightly.

I wouldn’t ride this one on the road.

Those blue Cosmos wheels are fire.

It’s not bad for $50

Recent family road bike upgrades.

Can’t believe the value in second hand bikes at the moment, nor the speed gifted by these new rigs.

Reacto is a couple of years old now.

Had some new bits thown at it. The wheels are Light Bicycle WR50 I had already. No access holes in the rim bed, so no tape required. 25mm wide. Tubeless all the way. :slight_smile:

It came with 42cm wide bars. Ditched them immediately for narrower. On its’ 3rd set now. Integrated AliEx at 38cm wide. Very happy with them and the right price.

I wanted smaller chainrings for my ageing legs up the hills. Got some 50/34 Stone rings and some CF cranks at 172.5. The Stone rings shift very well. As good as the 52/36 Shimano they replaced. The front shift on di2 is sublime and much easier to tune than cable.

It also has a Ryet ultimate saddle just with aluminium rails too.

Pretty happy with it now. That’ll do these old legs for a while

Current main bike, 2013 Merida Ride 93. Not fancy but reasonably light and has enough give to make a difference on my crummy local roads.

This one should be the main training bike, but it needs a new chain. The first lot I ordered didn’t turn up and were refunded, second order half didn’t arrive and what did was “Shuimao” :man_facepalming:

This TCR has been a ripper.

Moved down from Mildura and back when I was racing the local club was allergic to TTs. So I turned my TT bike into a roadie. Put the RD into the spokes somehow which wrecked the frame. Bought the TCR off eBay to swap the bits onto. I think it was a 2012/13 model. I have over 30k on it now. No longer ridden as much but I’m keeping it. Love the way it rides. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
