I think its a very sweet bike, I test rode the pilot from trek also, very comfy ride, congrats

Mr. Fierte

I bet the wait is killing you. I'm sure you'll really like it once you get some miles in. Right now my stand for holding the bike while I get ready to go is putting the rear wheel between the washer and dryer. Very sturdy and I don't have to worry about the bike falling over but, it's not very portable

It's funny also that my Stumpjumper FSR stays on the CycleOps for those days and evenings when I can't get out. I use it to save wear and tear on the road bike and tires and figure the heavy duty frame of the mountain bike is better suited to being tied down in the trainer. On other forums I've read debates about clamping carbon fiber bikes, or for that matter any lightweight road bike, in a trainer. I'm still not sure if there's anything to worry about but, I'd sure hate to crack a seat or chain stay on that beautiful frame.

I hear you , I am so scared of the Roubaix tipping over, I have it in my computer room (door closed)away from everything including the cats

WOW, you have a Stumpjuper as well, but yours is the nice one, I once rented an FSR and rode it for about 6 days in the Moab with my buddies, what a great bike made the trip very enjoyable.

Maybe I will just continue using my stumpjumper on my trainer, I am too not feeling right about clamping the roubaix to the trainer.

Mr. Fierte, that Serotta is simply gorgeous , you need to frame some of those pics.

Mr. Fierte, do you carry some of those pics in your wallet?

Mr. Fierte

No, but it does make a nice computer wallpaper

Nice bike, Hattori-san. It must ride like a dream!

My 04 OCR1.
It's a commuter during the week, trainer in the afternoons, crit bike in the evenings and race bike on the weekends.
Pretty versatile lil thing huh?

Mr. Fierte

It is a nice bike and you seem to make good use of it. I also like the background. I had to look to see where you are from as it looks a lot like Texas Hill Country.

Hi,

My other (expensive) hobby is also photography (digital). I don't do studio work so my photos of my bikes are somewhat mundane. I really like your shots and your lightning setup sounds simple but looks very effective.

I have a question about holding the bike. Your first shot does not seem to have any visible means of support. I have heard that people use fishing line to support bikes for photo shoots. How did you support your bike (especially considering your comment about the washer and dryer)? TIA for your response.

BTW, you can see some of my bicycle racing shots at https://www.pbase.com/cleavel/bicycling.

Mr. Fierte

Thank you. Digital is really cool for doing things like this. The bike was propped up with a small wooden dowel and then removed in Photoshop. I really like your racing shots. Especially those that look like early morning or late evening. The light during those times of day is great.

I think I figured this out, so here are my two bikes. My main ride is the Waterford. I recently won the Colnago on ebay for a low low price only to find rust on the frame. So, I had repainted locally as the picture really doesn't show well. In fact, I need bright sun to make the metallic flicker.

Trek 1400 AL frame. 105 all around. Recent ebay find.

Thanks for the picture of the eucalyptus. Reminds me of home. I like the smell of it, used to take long rides passing in and out of groves of it, and always seemed refreshing somehow.

2006 Cannondale R700F, a bike that fits!





C'dale website says these come with house brand brakes, but mine showed up with 105's!!

Added the speedplay pedals and alias saddle.

2006 Trek 1500 (Aluminum, carbon fork, seat post) 58cm, upgraded with Speedplay Stainless Zero's (matched up to Specialized Carbon Pro shoes).



Trek switched over at some point mid-year from the Bontrager crank to the Shimano 105s as well as upgraded the brakes from the no-name in-house to the 105s:




So far love the ride (haven't ridden a carbon yet, so I'm ignorantly happy), usual complaints about the stiff seat, handlebars could stand an upgrade.

pepsi

if that is your ride position (i mean about your seat) then you bought to big frame 4 your self

pcwace

I know.. I've been debating the issue. I originally was thinking of going with a 56cm, but I was talked into the 58cm because though my inseam is a little on the small side, I'm a bit unportionally long torsoed, and would almost need a longer stem to keep from curling my back over.

if i was you i would take a longer steam
