god bless the ride to work scheme <3

Did you try any of the Pinnacles? The Evans in house brand. Their 2017 range looks particularly great. This one isn’t as good looking as soon of the others but the value for money is insane: https://www.evanscycles.com/pinnacle-dolomite-se-2017-road-bike-EV286416

Can’t believe you’re not getting a Bianchi coloured one!!!

Celeste darling. My TV’s bianchi isn’t Celeste come to think of it

Really enjoying the use of “darling” here :grinning:

Feel absolutely sick right now. Somebody who I spent a week with doing something amazing for charity, riding across the British Isles, has been convicted of paedophilia.

Don’t know what to think atm. Wondering about trust, whether it’s tainted what we achieved. Holy fuck

Fucking hell

:angry:

Absolutely devastated

woah, fuck.

I hadn’t no. I might go back and try that if they have it in stock actually.

really loved the bianchi though :frowning:

sociopathic people like that are usually the best at hiding their evil intentions though, mate.

what a cunt.

i actually really liked the colour scheme - I do like the ‘celeste’ but this’ll pick up less dirt and looks fucking evil (which is good)

Hello chaps. What advantage would this Cannondale CAAD8 Claris B have over Decathlon’s Triban 500 SE, which I can also afford.

Great frame, but let down by the groupset imo

Cheers man, Claris is supposed to be a load of old shit isn’t it. Hmm I’ll stick to the Triban then.

It serves a function, but when better gearing is available for not much more money I’d avoid it.

Also the Maddux wheels that came with my CAADX were totally crap. Had to have both rebuilt as they were popping spokes for fun

I’d avoid a Claris groupset but tbh the groupset on a 500SE is some Microshift thing isn’t it, probably hardly any better, but the bike gets insane reviews so I’d go with that.

For the Triban? Yeah I think I’m pretty much sold on that now. Think I’ll pick it up in March and use the London to Brighton route you sent me on #olddis for a charity ride in the summer. Gonna raise money for MacMillan in honour of my ma-in-law and then get absolutely shit-faced on the coast in honour of my ma-in-law.
