I like noisy freehubs. Somehow they sound cleaner.

Nah not for me, I like my Shimano free hub, I can just hear it, not like the Mavic machine gun sound

I took this out for its test ride yesterday, after finishing putting it together

Its replaced my teeth filling rattling (although pretty) Colnago

That is very shiny. I'd love a titanium frame, but cannot justify it with the amount of riding i am doing at the moment. I'll need to dig my summer roadie out my parents loft soon though.

Neither can I at the moment, but that's mostly down to the weather & lack of objectives for this year.

Yeah, I have two fairly big objective for this year, and neither are cycling related. But soon again hopefully.

Jesus that is my windiest ride ever I think! Hardest 25 miles for a long time! The wind made passing gaps in hedges 'interesting' and I could not hold 10mph into it.

Summer bike felt great!

The wind, last two weeks just feels like no matter what direction I ride in, I'm riding into a headwind.

I think this is the 6th or 7th week that the wind has been strong. I dont have deep section rims but I still struggle to hold onto the bike sometimes.

Although I did get a nice scalp last night. Bradley Wiggins wanna be in Sky kit on a sky replica Pinnarello. Don't think he appreciated being overtaken and then dropped by me on my cross bike

Last 2 weeks? At least a 2 months of Easterlies here, or seems like it.

Yes, even on my last ride I diverted to avoid the worst of the wind through the lanes, its about time it warmed up enough for shorts & short sleeves.

With my lack of ballast, I get blown about quite a bit

Ha Ha ace, keep it up Fizz.

If you're going to have all the kit, then you have to ride like them
