Our Bikes

[Mad Aussie]

Thought I might whack a couple of shots up of our road bikes I mention riding from time to time.

This is my Colnago CLX ... I have wanted to own a Colnago since I was about 18 and a friend got one. It took me about 25 years to be able to afford one of my own. A bit of a funny distortion going on there with my focal length choice I'm afraid (makes the wheels look too small) but it's raining and this was a very quick shot!

The carbon work is yummy ...

Of course the downside to having your wife ride bikes with you is when you get what you've always wanted ... she suddenly always wanted something expensive too :headslap:
Oh well ... at least she supports my cycling fetish with her own!

Here's her baby ... a very pretty Pinarello FP6

Thankfully her recent accident on this bike didn't hurt it at all. Some tiny scuffs on a brake hood is all. She thoughtfully made sure it crashed on to the grass after she hit the footpath and separated her AC joint. The ambulance took he to hospital and I took the bike home :)

These are average to maybe just above average bike M. They are around AU$6000. Thankfully, with my cycling contacts, I don't pay anywhere near that.

Cool MA. I haven't seen Leanne's bike in the flesh. I looks good for a girls bike.
Are they gatorskins tyres you bike? That is what I have waiting to go on my bike next time I need new ones.

One of my best buddies does Ironman Triathlons for fun...he would appreciate these. :) He owns a Soft Ride and a Cervelo with several different wheels...solid carbon, etc. etc. He's always out for long rides to the mountains in the summer....in fact when he took me to phot his dad's truck a few months ago, alot of what else I shot he found on his rides out in the country.

I don't know much about bikes per say but I'm sure he'd appreciate what you have there!

Thanks AntZ ... yes Gatorskins and GP4000's I think ... tougher against the glass.

Sounds like he would indeed Casil. I looked at Cervelo's but they are a noisy frame due to the large size tubing and Colnago's have been my dream for a long time. Cervelo's are often chosen by tri's and by other time trial riders because the large tubes look serious and provide good aerodynamics.
