nope I'd steal the whole bike if I were going to steal anything.


"what are you inside for mate?"
"Stealing a garmin mount and a £2 light"

doesn't have the same ring to it

no one is going "inside" for stealing a few bits of the bike.. the whole bike might get you 30hrs community service if that.. :) thats the reason people do it..

what can I get for 1k?! I need a bike thats tough as nails, below 10kg and hopefully equipped with shimano 105 or above :O :) would love sram but not much choice there..

it will be used for all-year-round commuting plus rides on during the weekend :o

the worst one I had was when the delivery guy left my package with neighbor which is cool but it would be nice if you told me which one.. I live on the main road so I have gazillion neighbors around me.. finding it was fun :eek:
 
can you ask for them not to apply the "rose" decal to the frame lol ?

TBH when I get a road bike next summer I'd like one with no stickers at all if possible I like the look of plain bikes more

yeah I hate frames that are covered in stickers.. planet x bikes annoy me for that reason quite a bit... id prefer a plain carbon frame without the planet x written all over it :o

R3 > TCR.

R3 w/ Red for same price as TCR w/ Ultegra? Wha? No brainer.

Do Canyon ship to AUS? They have some decent '13 models in the outlet or the '14 Ultimate CF

R3 & 5 geo is the same isn't it 2011 through to 2013?

A shop in Victoria has some at a price too good to pass up, but only show frame size as XL, not an actual measurement... I'd fit a 58 or 61 (189cm tall) based off the 2011 geo, a 58 perhaps a little better, but I'm used to a big frame. A 61cm isn't much different to what I currently ride TT and head tube wise at least, little slacker forks and seat tube and shorter chain stays.

This years bikes will change with sqoval tubing.
