Ravanello Track Pursuit - 2014 FOA Readers' Choice BOTY Winner

General Post your ride

I’ve had this frame for over a year now, longer than all my other current builds. However, I’ve always preferred the aggressive look of the 700/650 pursuit frames, so I’ve always left this frame behind the others.

But recently, I’ve finally decided to put it altogether, as I really do need a 700/700c bike as my daily!

So, here it is.

Thanks for liking all my other bikes, hopefully this more “traditional” and simple looking build will be liked as well :D.

God damn. Your daily is nicer than anything I own or will ever own! Can we seriously get a group shot of every bike in the one photo???

Beautiful.

This would be one of my favourites.

I like the 700/700 pursuit & TT frames for than 650/700.

as for a group shot, give me a bit of time, i want to wait till all my projects are finished.

THANKS! :slight_smile:

Thats it, mods… ban this guy for making me a raging ball of jealousy!

This is wicked but I think I prefer the campy’s on it.

8

yeah i’m with loki, everything looks better with shamals.

9

ha, thanks :stuck_out_tongue:

these are just the temporary replacement till the shamals get new tyres. been skidding too much on them… :frowning: the actual bike for these wheels just arrived last night. i’ll post it up soon.

oh, well, that’s different.

10 extra points.

11

fucking hell

12

The bike stand for this one is an empty jar instead of the champagne bottle so maybe his bike habit is finally hitting his wallet…?

In any case, this is another gorgeous, ridiculous bike. I like the original “daily” set up more too.

13

Awesome.

What crank & chainring is that?

Well done
