Official 2011 Road bike rides pic thread

**RUFUS** · 02-27-2011, 08:27 PM

Lets see your road bikes for 2011. Whether it be your race rig, trainer, etc.

I am still rocking the 2010 Cannondale CAAD9 4.

CAAD 9 frame size 54
Easton Premium fork
Canecreek headset
Sram Force crankset
Sram PC-970 chain
Sram Force levers
Sram Force brakes
Sram Rival F&R derailleur
3T Ergonova Pro bars
3T Doric Team seatpost
3T ARX Pro stem 100mm
Specialized Romin 155 saddle
Fizik Microtek tape
Shimano 105 pedals (I HATE THESE)
Mavic Aksium front and rear (not shown) wheelset (winter wheels)
Continental Grand Prix 4000s tires
Blackburn carbon cages
Sigma 1909 STS computer
Camelbak bottles

I highly DO NOT recommend these wheels. I have had nothing but problems with them. The rear exploded and the front is giving me attitude again. They won't stay true or tensioned.

Still rocking the Eclipse that I built up last February:

Only change I've made since this pic is a set of Nashbar Z11 pedals.

Maybe this counts? My Cross Check in commuter trappings. It spends most of its time in town, but gets some road miles. It's stock except for the seat post, saddle, pedals, rack and fenders. I've also got some Avid Shorty 6 brakes waiting to go on. It weighs just a little bit less than the car it replaced, so I'd like to lighten it up a bit later this year.

I've got one of these that I need to paint up in my size and promptly sell.

I also have a really rad new bike I hope to snap some pics of this weekend.

Finally finished my new Lumberjack. I can NOT wait to ride this frigging thing.

Looks amazing, you might hear from me if I ever get bored of my Skeletor. Speaking of, one of these days I really need to get a pic of that thing, I'm too damn busy riding to clean or photograph it!

Looks good! Have you thought about producing lugged steel frames? There is a market from people like me who like the classic look. I've always appreciated lugged frames the most, from carbon to steel.

**SuspectDevice** · 03-11-2011, 06:10 AM

There are a hundred bagillion people that make lugged steel bikes. When a guy named Frank The Welder builds the bikes the idea of using lugs is pretty silly!

**RUFUS** · 03-12-2011, 06:11 PM

STOLEN!!!! IF YOU SEE IT ANYWHERE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. STOLEN FROM DENVER, CO.

They are super cheap house-brand ones from a distribuitor. Origin8 in this case. The CaneCreek levers are the same shape and a little nicer...

Better pictures. I LOVE this thing. I no longer need a road and CX bike. The geometry is balanced enough that I'd feel comfortable racing on the road with this thing. That can be hard to balance the inherent instability you need with a CX bike and a planted feeling on the rooad. This thing is stable, rocksolid and turns like it's on rails.
