No idea, was just like that when i bought the bike (ebay)

New Chinese carbon rims and slammed stem.

The place you recommended. carbonspeedcycle.
I've not ridden them yet so I need to test them tomorrow evening rather than let their first outing be a crit.

Looks great - just needs some disc brakes and then it's perfect

That bike has descended most of the Pyrenees with carbon clinchers and rim brakes. I'm still alive!
Maybe if they release a Bianchi Oltre XR4 disc.

Cleaned the ultimate. Going to get the aeroad off the trainer and do that later as well, it's ming!

Daughter wouldn't shut up about cleaning my bike so put her to work.

Not really comfort wise. They're much for much. Aeroad is crazy responsive though. I ride the Ultimate a lot on the road and then switched up to the Aeroad for a bit and my god you can feel a difference putting power down. Both pretty agressive fits, but I also find them really comfortable at the same time.
Good to know. I'm toying with the idea of a new bike, but if I spend serious money I can only do it once. I've read a review of the Aeroad\Ultimate\Endurace and the reviewer stated there was a clear distinction in comfort. However, if they're pretty close, I'd go for the Aeroad as most of the riding I do would be relatively flat. I'd rather have more flat speed than climbing speed. I don't want to be massively uncomfortable tho! Currently riding a Reynolds 525 steel bike from Ribble so it's quite a comfortable ride.
If I was after a general riding bike not racing etc I'd be going for the Ultimate, great looking bikes. My friend said his is supremely comfortable for all day riding. Also if Movistar guys generally use the ulitimate even for flat stages then there must be a reason for it!

And she lives!
Well, it’s very unlikely I’ll ever race. I do like to hammer around at speed (what I consider speed anyway!!) so an aero bike appeals. I do often ride for 3+ hours tho on terrible Northumberland roads.

Looks great! So aggressive.
Can you tell if the bike feels quicker than the B'Twn?
