Re: The Cycling Thread
Tacx I-Flow
Mines an older model, but still better than a normal turbo It hooks up to a spare PC via USB, as the roads rises so does the difficulty and vice versa on the descents.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Mine hasn't got the steering frame, which makes steering a bit weird

Re: The Cycling Thread
Considering selling my bike, which is this one I posted earlier...
http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php...postcount=2981 I love it and its pretty much the road bike I always wanted but I live in the city centre of Glasgow and the roads are hilariously bad condition wise (potholes you could lose a small car in etc...). Basically I am scared to take it out and I have at least 6/7 miles of city centre cycling before I hit anything decent/enjoyable, also dont have a car to move it around in either. Soo being quite poor I can't afford to keep it and buy a mountain bike which I will use pretty much every day. What do you guys reckon its worth? Carbon everything, Easton circuit wheels, Campag Chorus groupset, everything works as it should etc... |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Depends on the condition, sometimes the parts can go for more than a complete bike, certainly on Ebay.
Need a bit more detail & a pic, is it 10 or 11 speed Campag? Go on ebay to see what items are selling for

Re: The Cycling Thread
Pics, taken with my phone quickly, bike not washed either
    Its basically a 2008 bike. Bianchi 928 TCube (Barloworld) carbon frame and forks. Campag Chorus 10sp groupset. FSA/Bianchi carbon chainset/crank. Mavic chain. Look titanium axle pedals. FSA carbon seatpost. ITM carbon handlebars and stem. Easton circuit wheels/hubs. Campag chorus brakes with carbon levers. Bianchi superlight bottle cages Schwalbe tyres. Its all in good condition minus the usual rubs, oh and the saddle, which is knackered but still does its job. Closest I could find on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-Bianc...item2c749a236f |
