Just got my Cali SE a couple of weeks ago, my main hobby is riding bikes, here's a picture from the 'Man Cave' :mrgreen:

well sorted man cave :clap
Wont be much terrain that those bikes cant cope with. The racking looks great as well, custom made?

Looks good,are the Rolfs still going? I had a set of Vigor SLs on the R3 originally. Massive spoke tension and eventually the rim split at the nipple hole. Nice if rather flexible laterally wheels but I still get ribbed by my riding buddies about them. Went into the shop to get some energy gels and came out with a pair of wheels :crazy

Yeap they sure are Rolf vector comp wheels ... All those years old looking great still very noisy under braking and flex to give maximum comfort .... :laugh2
I always get loads of comments on the bike and people love the Klein colour and the Rolf rim colour ...Not even sure the flex is comforting ,as it's not good for the corners or when you put the power down ....

NO they sell them on ebay, found them at a bike show around a year ago, they are all hinged and work really well. A bike for every occasion, I like to keep them clean and a couple of them are a couple of years old :mrgreen:

Re: Bike Porn " Cali members rides "

I've always loved the old skool Colnago's and she looks great getting a piggy back from the cali


Here's my old girl with her walking frame on..

still running her original 8 speed sti dura-ace full groupset,but she may have to make room for a newer young gun .

 

[cpjb@btinternet.com]

She looks superb Choplee.

I even remember that bar tape - I think I had the same at some point.

Re: "Bike Porn"-your rides and how/where you use them

Thanks cpjb .... I do love all things bike

Cinelli bar tape sort of cork effect in different colours ... Its lasted and worn very well ,as its only been replaced once in all those years...

Here is my Cervelo SLC-SL which I built from the frame up with Campag Super Record Groupset - it is incredibly light.



I have just purchased a Cube Ltd Pro mountain bike - hopefully my off-road motorbike experience will help a little.

Looks good, need to get that steerer tube cut down once your happy with the position. Remember to leave a small 2 or 3 mm spacer above the stem.

Tested my Time bike with some tubeless wheels and tyres and have ordered a set which will be in the hop by the first week of November so will post a picture once I have these and they have been fitted.

I wasn't sold on them before testing, but being to run at 80-90 psi as opposed to 100-120 psi with a very stiff frame makes a world of difference. Looking forward to getting them now.

cheers

It could be a goer Alex and 70 miles is still a good ride out ... I'm on my holidays on the 5th or 6 th , but I'll check it out

 

[smgcowfoldparts]

I've booked it and looking forward to it!

Be good if some others on here wanted to do it as well.
