No, just visiting.
The road up was fine, aside some small roadworks and traffic lights. Stopping and having to unclip was not good! The road down (the way the photo is looking) was rather bumpy.

Loving it. The go to bike nowadays. I'll still take the reacto out if I know it's a flat route but other than that it's the scultura every time

did you happen to weight it ?

i'm still undecided on what bike to get...
most likely should be endurance bike, but not that many out there I like...
 
New second hand winter bike
Trek Domain 5.9, 6870 groupset (di2)

Got this as I wanted a bike that would take mudguards but still have a road bike fit.

I've stripped it down and will replace all the bearings, brake lines and pads and generally clean and regrease.

Whilst cleaning the chainrings I managed to sheer a bolt. Thankfully there was enough to unscrew. It's very tempting to to replace the crankset with a r8000, but I have to resist the urge of unnecessarily replacing parts, just because I enjoy tinkering...

Finished rebuilding the Trek Domain 5.9

Stripped, cleaned and greased everything.

Replaced:
- BB bearings with NTN 6805
- Headset bearings
- Crankset with r8000 (didn't have compatibility issues. Bought in sale and sold old one, chain and cassette seem almost new)
- Hood covers
- brake lines and cables
- bar tape
- stem (got a Bontrager xxx carbon stem for a couple of quid from a bike Co-Op)

Looks too immaculate to now use as my winter bike... :cry:

Just noticed the tyre and wheel graphics don't match up... am I that ocd that I need to address this. Yes.

And another.
This is my old winter bike that I've stripped and serviced to give to a mate who's getting into excercise and cycling.

Got some parts from a co-op bike repair shop as I've tried to do this on the cheap.
Stripped the hubs and repacked bearings.

This is the first adult road style bike I owned and it has been battered from more than a decade of communiting.

Just waiting on a new chain.

Finally got outside on the new frame. Unsurprisingly rides quite a lot like the old frame seeing how its the same model for the most part :p

Fit is much better now i've gone down a size and feels that bit stiffer on climbing and when I really put down the 160w sprints
 
Sweet baby jesus that looks like about £15k worth of SL7 next to your bike. Ceramic speed pulley wheels, carbon chainrings, custom seatpost, dura ace.
