That looks awesome, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. What rear mudguard is that?
RRP ProGuard, goes on with zip ties, you should be able to get it for around £25. Just be aware for the front one the Marzocchi fork that came with my bike is one of the only forks that won’t accept the bolt on one which is a shame, so it’s zip ties for that too.
Depending on how muddy a winter it ends up I’ll consider one of the Mudhugger rear guards, they’re ugly as sin but coming home clarted and cold with a soaked chamois after every ride isn’t too appealing…

I just posted this on the Ti thread and thought I’d share here too.
Of all my metal and plastic bikes, this custom made Ti by Burls is always one of my favourites.
These babies just don’t age, so with a new group set and recent handbuilt wheels, it’s like getting a new bike…again, nine years later!

How do you like your new saddle? And what was your previous one?
So far, so good! I am currently on recovery week so I am not doing long rides so the real assessment will come in the next block when I do 2+ hours z2 rides. Will report back!
It was the stock saddle that came with my Emonda: Bontrager Aeolus Comp. So nothing fancy. I bought the fi’zik primarily for comfort, not neccesarily the weight reduction but it was fun to hold both saddles when I was changing them out and feel the considerable difference.

Ridley Noah Fast, with 12 sp Ultegra. Here just after I hosed it down from a wet ride.
The bike came with a compact crank, the 50 is fine for me, but 34 is not much use in the flatlands where I live. So swapped the small chainring for a dura ace 40t one.

Such a classic style.

Rescued a 1990’s Cannondale frame off of FB marketplace and built it up with some more modern parts.
It rides like a dream. I thought it was going to beat me up, but it feels eerily similar to my steel bike.
30 years of bike tech:
Early 1990’s Cannondale R400 frame with original quill stem
Early 2000’s Mavic wheels
Early 2020’s Shimano 105

Although, I’m more interested in the VW collection! Yours?
Not mine. A neighbors. I have enough toys according to the wife. I didn’t list my other 4 bikes. Thought this was an interesting picture of 1 of them.
