Cool shot Sheldon! Background looks beautiful... what area was this?

Incurable · 3 October 2007, 04:05 PM

Doesn't that kinda hurt?

That's great Sheldon, let me guess

"Specialized"?
Nokons are cool, but Powercordz are lighter

I like the personalised frame decal, kind of like a Pro bike

Well you should already know what I think about the GMT
Shhhmoookin!!!

Great pic!

sheldonsmith · 3 October 2007, 10:05 PM

Yes, its a Specialized E5 (4 years old), and on the Central California coast. The picture is looking west; the Pacific Ocean is on the other side of the hills shown in the background.

Sheldon,
Great watch, nice view, and that seat post is SICK.

Ride a LeMond myself.

Cannondale anyone??

Just realised that the Sub Date would look cool against the Cannondale Bad Boy.... too bad it's in storage in Australia...

sheldonsmith · 4 October 2007, 05:35 AM

I used to ride with Lemond (we shared the same trainer back "in the day.."), does that count?. I was in the last amateur race he did before going to Renault...

Looking good, Sheldon. Seeing you after a long time. Trust all is well at home and with you, pal!!

Neilduc · 4 October 2007, 04:28 PM

I was riding too, but I didnt ride for a long time now. Kept my bike in garage for almost 4yrs now. I should start riding again, got to stay fit

Great bike shots. I guess my bike's getting a bit outdated now.

Nice bike! I have not seen that tail section before - it really gives it family resemblance with their MotoGP machines.

Lol-x · 18 October 2007, 09:56 AM

Nice Look Neilduc, I think it would look cool with Destroy's Boras

I'll have to take a photo of my ride a C'dale CAAD8

When those pics were taken the bike was less than 2 weeks old. The final fitting took place later when the steerer tube was indeed cut down. My fitter wanted to make sure I was comfortable on the new frame/fork layout before cutting it!

AJ I hope you didn't get your bike from SBR (I had a not so good experience with them).
Anyway, Cevelo is a top brand and Boras are used by the world's best.
You did get good advice on the steerer tube, unless you are fit as a fiddle, I find a more relaxing riding position is best achieved with some spacers on the steerer above the headtube.

Thanks Chris…she is a dream to ride. Even friends of mine who ride decent Truks love it when they have a go….you can tell where the money went that’s for damn sure.

Funny you mention carbon though, my next rig will be a steelie – made from that new Reynolds stuff – 953? Or something. That’s about a year away (at least!) though.

What MTB do you ride?

Hey Steve

No, not SBR although they had a pretty funky store from memory……they mainly peddle Colnago and that new brand……what was it? Not Kestrel, or Kona…..meh, it’ll come to me.

But yeah, I need to do a whole lot more stretching to get those ‘bars right down…..

But the campy stuff shifts like no other and the boras are BRILLIANT. I can’t describe enough how FAST the steering gets when they’re on there. They need special carbon brake blocks though so it’s a bit of a pain switching ‘em out…….

Yes, it does resemble with the MotoGP bike. That is the original Ducati Performance MotoGP tailpiece.
