I got a new bike!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Opus Allegro full carbon 10 speed road bike. This thing is AMAZING... can't wait to try it out (my leg is a little screwed up at the moment from just falling off my bike ).

Obligatory product photo which makes the bike look 10 times better than my pictures will make it look.



Now for my half-assed pictures

I like my Schwinn. Paid $100 for it at a pawn shop!

But that one looks a little nicer.

Nice. Is it all carbon fiber? Which derailleurs and brakes? Details are needed!

Congratulations, man. That is a sweet ride.

That seat looks like a nice hemorhoid factory. Still, that frame is killer. Bike looks fast.

The carbon weave on the frame is really nice looking!

What are the components? Ultegra?

Very nice.

I have a full carbon Giant TCR-C3. Wonderful the difference that carbon makes.

The thin and small seats would seem uncomfortable, but for long rides, that's simply the stuff that works best. The 'ol tractor seats simply don't work for serious riders.

Besides, the real padding is in the shorts, and actually moves with you, instead of chafing the crap out of your legs like a blob saddle does.

This is like the seat I went with for my beach cruiser. Nice and squishy. I've even got a basket that can hold a 24 pack on it too. Still working on the appropriate drink holders.

Looks like Shimano 105 with a few other pieces (TruVativ cranks, for one).

Keep it maintained and adjusted well, and it should be a good performing and durable setup.

Carbon frames can ride smooth and comfy. Carbon frames can also ride stiff and harsh. It all depends on how it's built - same is true for any frame material.

So do these, especially when your cruising speed is over 20mph.
