My race bike in TT mode.



The saddle's not supposed to be like that.  Today's 25 was a little uncomfortable towards the end...

The Workenback - upgraded:


New stem, brakes and 'guards; Ergos transferred from Monty (the tandem - who is getting the maguras); and a wipe with an oily rag.

See you on the road "soon" then?!  ;)

I'll be taking Obelix, the Pompino, to Derby daily fairly soon. Nice to see you back too!

Introducing the magpie. Black and white with a penchant for shiny things. And yes, I'm sorry, that is a black and white chain.



And no, the padlock is not part of the saddle, it's just my poor photography...

Even better if it DID have a Prince Albert.  ;D

They don't do grammar pedant stickers, though  :P

Yeah, I know.  They're newly installed forks and I may drop it down a spacer or two, but in the main that's how I have my bikes because I have long legs, short arms and a dodgy back.

Very nice bike, Tom.  I didn't have you pegged for a trackie!

Completed on Saturday night and ridden for the first time yesterday - my Principia Evolution 2004 (7020 aluminium), with Campag Chorus 2008 groupset, Zonda wheels, Thomson X2 stem, Ritchey white alloy bars and Peloton road pedals, and Michelin Pro Race 3 Ivory tyres. It feels light, stiff and fast - which is just as well as I'm going to be racing on it this year!



[edit] And the rest.

That's lovely. Could use a matching silver Thomson post, but nice all the same. Good job.

Very nice.  Did you intend your new bike to match the kitchen or was that just a Brucie Bonus?

Oh, and that hose looks a bit slack!

That's a big map holder mounted underneath those tri-bars.

 ;) When you're as good at getting lost as I am, it's a big help! That's actually the front rack for the Raleigh Randonneur at the back there.

I did consider a Use Ti post, but the expense put me off!

No need.  The cranks, seat post and forks make a nice triangle effect.  Lovely looking bling.

Agreed. Given that you're kinda stuck with black for the ergo levers and forks, it makes sense to balance that with some black further back. Not too sure about the bottle cages thobutt. Maybe some plain stainless steel would look better.  :-\

But I'm just jealous really. Lovely bike. A guy I know has a Principia: he's named it "The Prince of Denmark".  8)

BTW, do I recognise those tri bars?  ;)

It's a bit weird, but actually quite wonderful.

I did ponder this also, but was suffering from carbon-lust when I placed my order!

...do I recognise those tri bars?
You should do! I used them a couple of times last year to good effect and will invest in a new set of clamp-on aero bars for time trailing with The Silver Machine this year. :thumbsup: Do they come in white?! ;)

He uses the hose to lock the brommie up. It's more secure than not locking it to a pub table!

That's a well-put-together looking piece of kit Erron.

Good wheels.
