jose Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well don't touch the asphalt... just skid with the rear wheel locked for 60m at 50km/h. I have already ordered the spare parts but I have fallen in love with a nice Bianchi frame. Now I just have to convince my wife ... and my bank account 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't know if it was better without just hopping off one onto the other, right. Wife should understand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I´m a gentleman !!!!!! ... after, of course Good input Brent. My intention is to change everything (including the new components) from the Stevens to Bianchi. I can't afford a complete Bianchi as I want (Ultegra / Dura Ace DI2, DT Swiss, etc.) Later, when my wallet recovers, I´ll buy an inexpensive groupset (like Sora or 105) and use the Stevens for my Tacx Flux. By the way, now I just repaired the carbon on the damaged pod. At the end of the trip, maybe I will spend a little more but at this moment for me it is more comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 that's not celeste (also, very nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yes, not celeste and it´s not my first choise but I was lucky to get a size 52 used. This is not a very common frame here and it´s very expesive. However, I am still negotiating the price with the store. The economic crisis due to Covid in Spain is beginning to hit very hard.

n_maher Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Here's to hoping that the negotiations are successful. I think I'm out of the bike buying game for a while, unless I see a screaming deal on a SuperSix EVO Disc. Then I might do bad things... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Had a run in with a stick today about 6 miles from home! It was too big to plug, so my friend cut off most of the stick and we road home. It didn't leak at all. I love running tubeless.
