Thread: Any other Colnago owners out there? Or road bike owners?

A surly pacer here, for cruising and distance I just love the comfort of the steel frame

That is awesome! I love where bike technology has gone since I rode - many moons ago. I got a 10 speed BSA when I was 12 and rode it everywhere for the next 15 years. My only bike now has a 1000cc motor in it, so I guess that doesn't count, but boy I sometimes wish I coud get back into it all again...

Ive taken up cycling in the last 5 months, i have an old Trek 1000sl road bike and recently got hold of a 2nd hand Merida ride93 road bike for a good price which has compact gearing, one day i'll get a carbon bike.

I did my biggest ride to date today 71ks from Doncaster East to Sassafras return (in the Dandenongs for non Melbourne people). ive become a bit of a strava (cycling app) addict as i find it helps me to see if im getting better and i can check bike paths for hills before i ride them.
Being over 110kg hills and headwinds are my enemy but im getting fitter.

I have a 2010 Malvern star Oppy C7.

it's not that one... but that's what it's like. Got it early 2011, did about 4500kms in the first 6 months of owning it. But i've gotten slack these days, I have to get it back out and start riding.

I ride a Trek Madone 5.2 2011. I do anywhere from 150-250km a week.

i remember when I used to commute to work everyday, on a bike. Was great! Like a time trial to and from work, haha. Can't do that these days though, got to drive the work van around

Lol......when I ride the most direct route I call it the 21k time trial. When I'm fit I do extra k's to nudgee beach or a couple laps of the gateway bridge
