    A few pictures of the newest addition- Specialized Langster fixed gear. I'm thinking about replacing the drops with a flat bar.

    Hello everyone - I am very new to MFP, still trying to navigate around this site and was very happy to find this group of bike lovers.

    As you (cyclists) would understand - the introduction is the bike first but not the person so here it goes :)

    Specialized Tarmac Pro

    My 13-year-old hand-me-down Diamond Back. Maybe I'll get a new one at the end of this summer.

    Here's my winter training machine! :laugh:

    I rescued it from a guy at work, he'd left it outside rotting away for months! A good clean, lube and a bit of loving and she's doing great! Even contemplating doing my first event of 2013 on it! (a 100 mile Audax) I'm still buying the bits to do up my summer ride and am not sure it's going to be ready, so we'll see...

    Anyhow here 'she' is....

    I am drooling looking at these. If I ever win the lottery I'm blowing it all on a different bike for every day of the year.
  • Best I could find.

    First my road bike

    Niiiice! tell me how you get on with the fly-by-wire gears - nearly went for them on my new build, but bottled out at the last minute :smile:

    I wasn't worried about how the gears worked or all that stuff - more that I'd never built a bike with all that stuff on, and reading the technical documents and watching the video's it was just a step too alien for me - now, if i'd bought a bike with it all pre-installed, then I could take it apart and rebuild it to see how it went together - but the thought of having to get it right sight unseen for a groupset that costs as much as Ultegra Di2 did gave me the heebie-jeebies!

    Anyway - I've got the wired Ultegra now, which may find its way onto a suitable Ti frame for next winter, leaving the Dolan vacant for whatever I decide to treat myself to next Christmas :laugh:

    I've been using Di2 Ultegra for 6 months. Love it - shifting is so much faster & precise. I was using a mix of 105, Ultegra, D/A - all second hand.

    Like you I was skeptic and had absolutely no interest to change plus way too expensive but one day my BF took the bike away and returned it "electronically"...

    Have fun with it - keep us posted :happy:

    Got a Nishiki Pueblo 24 this afternoon, traded in my Roadmaster. I love the Nishiki, esp the front suspension and the wide tires! the gears change smoothly and BMB did a great job!
