Do you ever get the urge to yell "OGRE SMASH" while riding it? I would.

I don't have a bike to post but I needed to tell everyone that I keep thinking this thread is What do your balls look like? which is horrifying.

Hi Wutexas! Do you want a bike? What's your biking history? c'mon, spill the sordid biking revelations!

Mark C, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link

dan, I have only had it for two days, but the too high seat position does make me feel both powerful like an OGRE, while at the same time hurting my junk.

looks just right

iro with brown bag (Hunt3r), Sunday, 8 February 2009 15:49 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks. I'm well pleased. Practical (with the mudguards, big grippy Schwalbe 700Cx28 tyres and full brakes, it's perfect for the current Glasgow weather and roads) and yet great fun to ride, it's certainly been holding its own out there for the past month and a bit. I love it.

Cutty, what do you use the Cannondale and the Cinelli for differently? Also, your saddle seems not that much higher than your bars - you like a relaxed position?

Mark C, Saturday, 11 April 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm still using the cinelli for long, hilly, road races and weekend training rides. i'm using the cannondale for crits, park races, and weekly training rides. i'm using the raleigh to commute and tool around town.

i have a super long torso, so that's the most biomechanically efficient position for me on the road bike. i get my bikes fit to my exact body measurements with the wobblenaught system:

What is it, Ken?

Mark C, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 17:07 (fifteen years ago) link

specialized globe.. rides pretty well although just a touch big so i'm worried about my perineum!

the top-tube seems a little...... low slung

problem chimp (Porkpie), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 21:27 (fifteen years ago) link

They all do these days, Chris, it's the thing.

Move the saddle as far forward as it'll go, Ken? How are the tyres - nice and slick?

Mark C, Thursday, 14 May 2009 17:02 (fifteen years ago) link

could do with some white tyres though i think.

cutty, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 19:45 (fifteen years ago) link

i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Thursday, 21 May 2009 02:53 (fourteen years ago) link

hokey pokey squiggle tops (ytth), Thursday, 21 May 2009 02:59 (fourteen years ago) link

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Vittoria_Rubino_Tyre/5360018648/

Dude since I sent you that link they have removed the white/white option!!

Mark C, Thursday, 21 May 2009 15:30 (fourteen years ago) link

it's still there for the folding ones - which are twice as much. and have double the thread count, whatever the fuck that is (lol n00b).

man saves ducklings from (ledge), Thursday, 21 May 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link

higher thread count means that the casing is more supple, which theoretically will make it handle better. theoretically.

hokey pokey squiggle tops (ytth), Friday, 22 May 2009 02:43 (fourteen years ago) link

currently selling the bike in the first post of this thrd at the moment!

wilter, Sunday, 24 May 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

what will you buy with the money? SELLING BIKES TO BUY BIKES!

cutty, Monday, 25 May 2009 12:42 (fourteen years ago) link

ha nah I've still got two others atm.

Trying to save as much as possible for a deposit on a house u__u.

I've had two ppl seriously interested. One a retired baby boomer who is into masters rowing (huge cockhuffer)

and this nice kiwi chap who reckons he used to ride elite in NZ 10 or 12 yrs ago. He's coming around this evening to check it out.

wilter, Monday, 25 May 2009 23:53 (fourteen years ago) link

cutty, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 00:26 (fourteen years ago) link

wilter, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 11:50 (fourteen years ago) link
