I got my (not so free) new racing bike!

MJ10 · 28-07-10, 09:16 AM

It arrived yesterday and I'm SO happy with it!

No it wasn't free, but I did get it at a very decent price!
RRP: £950
Sale: -£350
Discount: -£5
Insurance: -£250
Leaving just £345 to pay, £300 of which is an early birthday/christmas present from mum and dad! AWESOME!!

So to the details! It's a Focus Variado Expert Compact 2010

* Weight: 9.95kg
* Alloy racing frame with Focus carbon forks
* Shimano 105 drivetrain
* FSA Gossamer Pro compact chainset (50/34)
* Concept SL saddle
* Rodi rims built on Concept SL hubs
* Schwalbe Lugano tyres
* Powder Coated frame

Also got these:
CrankBrothers Egg Beater C pedals
Specialized BG Sport 2010 Shoes

I'll be buying a helmet with FreebieJeebies I hope... just 7 greens... which will be: Catlike Whisper Plus

(Pics taken on iPhone... I'm surpised by the quality!!)

Ron10 · 28-07-10, 09:29 AM

Congratz, that's a very smart bike and for a good price too.

ndev2k · 28-07-10, 09:32 AM

Nice bike, not been cycling in over 8 years.

cessna172 · 28-07-10, 09:37 AM

Congrats and nice bike!

sgll · 28-07-10, 11:24 AM

nice ride lol. i have a specialized pro mountain bike. but hate bloody racers lol. had too many bad experiences with them when was younger haha

so MJ will we be seeing you on tour de france next yr or yr after?

jrjokerz · 28-07-10, 11:29 AM

Now all you need is that helmet

MJ10 · 28-07-10, 11:58 AM

Lol, tour de france?!! I would love to!!
Nah, you'll see me doing London to Brighton or similar smaller feats!

icyoli · 28-07-10, 01:26 PM

Sweet bike! Looks really light

mrcatzworld · 28-07-10, 01:32 PM

Congrats lad looks great i was just looking at one last week id love one too

MJ10 · 28-07-10, 01:48 PM

It is incredibly light!!

Now on the topic of helmets I need help!!

Which of the 2 circled helmets below do I go for?

Both around the same price, both as good as each other, both come in the colours I want...!

chapperzUK · 28-07-10, 01:52 PM

Well done. I thought that you were going to go for the one on the right.

Hmmm Cav's helmet or Hushovds (sp?). Tough choice

V. nice bike. Etape du tour here you come

MJ10 · 28-07-10, 02:17 PM

I was going for the Catlike whisper on the right... but also getting tempted by the Uvex FP3.0 on the left!

Both helmets are obviously popular choices at the tour!

rob110492 · 28-07-10, 02:26 PM

I think the one on the right look best!

MJ10 · 28-07-10, 03:36 PM

lol, well true... but if it's good enough for them...

will have to see how long it takes me to get another 3 greens, then see which I want!

Tippy · 28-07-10, 03:39 PM

Cruelworld · 28-07-10, 07:28 PM

The one circled on the left would be my choice, the one on the right looks like Ena Sharples' hairnet! :P

the joker · 28-07-10, 07:38 PM
