Cool Aroes.

Where do you live? I'm Reservoir/Thomastown area.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:57 am

Just ordered my new bike on the weekend: Cannondale CAAD 10 3 2010 Ultegra

I'm just concerned I should have gone full carbon. Just struggling to justify the extra $1k spend on the carbon equivalent: Cannondale SuperSix 3 2010 Ultegra

New bike due early May... do I change my mind? Hmmm....

surely a few KGs don't mean much when there's a 70KG+ human sitting on it.

I live in Dandenong. My gf lives in Coburg though, so sometimes I set off on rides the morning after crashing at hers. Maybe we could go do some climbing around Kinglake? I'll be in touch.

More to do with carbon fiber absorbing vibrations from the road whilst providing stiffness, than weight, although any savings in weight (more like a couple of hundred grams, than kilos) are a nice by-product.

Aluminium has a bad reputation of directly transferring any road vibrations to your body, via your hands and ass. On long rides this reduction in comfort can greatly effect both your enjoyment and ability to keep riding... apparently.

Still, the CAAD 10 has carbon forks and a carbon seat stem.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:54 am

I'm on a Carbon bike - haven't ridden anything else so can't compare.

Aroes and Direkt - swing by Coogee and pick me up on your next ride.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 11:43 am

after reading some more reviews, I'm going to stick with the CAAD10 - value for money not quite there in the upgrade

http://www.bv.com.au/general/great-rides/20005/

who was keen to get on board for this?

Aroes, Ob, Direkt, Direkt's Dad & My Dad so far - any other takers?

210km leg from Alexandria Gardens - Queenscliff - Sorrento - Alexandra Gardens

There's a ride Melbourne to Adelaide in October which may take precedence with my old man, if not, this is all systems go.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 8:33 am

I want to do it, but I'm scared to try it on a fixie, actually, I've never riden that far on any bike... might try a few smaller rides in the lead up, or hire a touring bike, or both.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 8:38 am

be good to have you on board Dan, before last years the furthest I'd ridden was 50kms - we ended up doing 190km for the day.

Touring bike would be recommended though - Direkt is riding north side a couple of times a week I think - join him for a session and see how you go

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:41 am

I actually think I might be overseas when this ride is on Shagger. NYC and Cuba stylee!

huh? My bike is blue, can I bring that? or do you have to bring those horrible hire bikes......

I dun get it

Post by **huge** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:10 am

the idea is to use a hire bike yep

You get a hire bike

You can pay for it, or email the link on the fyx site for a free code

I guess the whole concept is that he organises for an absolute motherload of blue hire bikes to flood ridgway place, creating an awesome photo opportunity. Everyone gets free coffee from liaison for their trouble/leisure, thus bringing about a fun vibe in which people enjoy riding a ridiculously heavy and gaudy looking bike

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:04 pm

haha, I might just do it

you coming arrows?

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:06 pm

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:06 pm

yep i'll be there

Post by **huge** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:39 pm

i probs do it too

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:47 pm

maybe we should grab blue bikes from the same place and ride there three deep popping monoes the whole way*

*i can't do a mono

Yeah... nah. The hills south of Frankston aren't particularly big, but you will NOT want to do them on a fixie, especially during the second 100km. Trust. Borrow a bike with gears, or get a second hand one.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:53 pm

I cannae do mono either

but, I can pop little endos (almost totalled myself doing this drunk yesterday though

)

Felt like such a knob locking up my real bike and jumping on the blue thing

Coffee was good and free

Also I nearly got cleaned up by some douche pulling out in front of me just after we parted ways on Russell St

Would do again

ps- bike looks sick huge, the headbadge/logo is a winner
