What saddle bag is that in this pic? It looks big enough to hold wallet/smartphone plus also a spare tube yet doesn't look like the size of a massive handbag sitting underneath your seat like some.

I'm not sure which bag he has mounted there, it looks identical to my Avenir expandable bag. Same shape and size. Holds my CO2 inflator, 2 extra cartridges, a spare tube, patch kit, house key and at times my cell phone, in the tight shape, it expands with the bottom zipper.

Should be getting my new frame and handlebars this week. But in the meantime, my setup is still a 2010 SuperiorLite SL Club w/ Sram Force, S-lite wheels and Carbonio Flow Selle Italia Saddle. All the force stuff will be going onto new bike when it arrives.

NEW BIKE DAY!

Holy crap that little twirp put the QR on the wrong side. Picture is ruined!

Attached is a picture of my very clean mid 80's Panasonic DX5000. The bike does everything I need for it to do, except that my 72 year old knees require more help in the hills. If I could find a triple crank that would offer an acceptable chain line that would be great. The stock crank is so attractive, it would be difficult to replace it. The Tange 1 frame is pretty lively, especially with my winter weight 180 pounds. Hopefully, when I get down to a more acceptable 165 lbs, it will be just as much fun.

Yup, never mind the brutal cross chaining, it's the QR lever that jumps out at you.

Thanks. The cassette is from Recon and I bought it from m-bikeparts.com, located in Germany. I know fairwheelbikes sells them as well but they didn't have the 11-25 that I wanted.

How do you like this one so far?

Loving it!
But I am coming from road riding a mountain bike so basically I went from a truck to a GT car!
Much smoother ride, more stability & lots of braking power& a surprising comfortable riding position.
I have a 53 mile route that is 99% bike paths & after a ride I feel so much better than I did after the same ride on the mtn bike!

Did you receive it equipped with the 105 crank? What year is that? The Specialized site indicates an FSA Gossamer crank on the Secteur Expert Disc Compact, rather than an actual Shimano 105.

I ask because Stages doesn't make a power meter for FSA cranks, only for Shimano (all BB), SRAM (GXP versions, not BB30) and Cannondale (BB30) cranks. Since I'd really like for my next bike to be compatible with the Stages Power Meter, I've had to cut bikes that come with FSA or Rotor cranks off my list!

It is a 2013, it came stock with FSA crank, I had it swapped for the 105 Black for $150 at time of purchase.

As a real world bike it's a great concept, nice bike.
