I very rarely visit this site not being in the UK any longer and hadn't been into GD in a very long time. It's many years since I had last seen him in person and even longer since I was at his wedding to C. Condolences all.

Finally got out on my newly built Cervelo S3 today after buying the frame back in February. The weather was finally nice enough versus riding my old road bike. A quick 35miles/3500ft vert to give it a test, no complaints so far. I would have liked to have done further, but I'd done...

Also depends if you're talking about for road use or mountain bike use.

I live at 2300m in the Rocky Mountains, NY was a while back :)

Maybe a bad choice of words after the recent helicopter crash.

Hasn't been warmer than -7C since last weekend and currently snowing. Haven't ridden since Sunday :(

Not sure what the Icarus documentary is, worth watching? I only found out about it from a GCN video on YouTube. Logistics of getting there and home would be a pain for the Alpes/Pyrenees for me but definitely worth it...

Anyone ever done one of the Haute Route trips? Alps or Pyrenees look tempting, but difficult logistics getting there for me. https://www.hauteroute.org/

But Sanchez is in such good form!

A simple 20 miles, 2350ft vert in 90 minutes this morning in -4c before the wind was forecast to to pickup.

All parts ordered for the build, replacement wheels for the returned Enve/I9's will look like:

I'd been waiting to see what it was going to be like, but I've just bought a new etap HRD wifli flat mount 22 speed groupo for about 1100 quid plus red crankset for £230 and I'm happy with that decision after seeing the new release. It would have cost an awful lot more without giving many...

This are all fairly similar, so different stem length and handlebar reach would also make a difference.

Check the ST, HT angles and ETT on your various bikes. If the angles are all 73deg the ETT is what I use to compare. I'm 6'2" riding a "55cm" frame, but it's a compact geo which has a 570mm ETT, which makes it roughly a 58 in general sizing. I think the frame I just bought has a 54cm seat...

Sounds like new 12 speed SRAM road groupo stuff will be announced Wednesday. I think I'm happy with what I'm planning for my build sticking with 11, as I'm sure the premium for the new stuff will be huge.

I'm weakening on my resolve to stay with mechanical shifting. Etap is looking likely...

Pfft, I've 6 and building my 7th. But then my wife has 6 and is totally fine with my latest build.

Yay, Cervelo S3 Disc frame turned up and it's gorgeous. Still trying to decide between electronic or cable SRAM Red groupo and on the replacement wheels whether to go for Chinese carbon rims on 240's or a set of DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT 48's.
