        @Dmart it's fast as hell. I love it. Can't see myself switching anytime soon. Only thing it doesn't complete dominate at is long climbs of 4-5K+ but it's really rare we race with anything over maybe 2-3K so the added weight of an aero bike is a non-issue. And I'm not pro anyway so bike weight isn't top priority as much as shedding a few extra lbs and adding some watts.

        @Nik thanks! Our team worked with a local artist and had Birdworx wrap some helmets for us. They turned out really good.

            Been putting miles in mostly on the road bike. I have discovered that I suck at mountain biking and that also the single track near me is mostly too advanced to learn on. Looking for some gravel type trails to take out the mtb. I did a nice one in NJ: the Columbia rail trail. Don’t really need a mtb for it but it’s a cushy ride. Here’s a shot from yesterdays ride on the Empire State Trail.

                @setandsetting - a Strava group exists already, although I think it was set up some time ago.

                https://strava.app.link/spY9YB03EBb

                I haven’t been out much lately myself due to a knee issue. 🫤

                        Just an OCD for steel bikes. I’ve been downsizing from 20ish to about 12 now.

                          @Denimhead-0 that is a nice collection of bikes. I have to agree there is something nice about hand made steel frames, lugged or fillet brazed.

                          I have a new incoming frame, hopefully has cleared customs this week and ready to be built when I get home from work in a weeks time. I am a sucker for Nicolai bikes, have had quite a few of them over the years including the Rohloff speedhub based Nucleon frames. When Nicolai announced the new Nucleon 16 I knew I was in trouble. I have owned every Nucleon frame to date.

                          The new Nucleon 16 is the first production bike to use the Lal Supre Drive system. Looking forward to seeing how this works. I needed to buy two chains due to the longer chain length required for the system.

                          The rear triangle is black anodized and front triangle is "Arctic Green" which is a colour shifting green / purple powdercoat finish.

                          nucleon 16.png

                          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                            That bike is going to be sick. Can’t wait to see the finished build. Here is a pick of my custom Retrotec Single speed, really fun on the single track.

                              @Denimhead-0 Is the Retrotec a tribute to the old Corratec design?

                              Did you see that Merlin Metalworks are releasing a modern Newsboy bike?

                              https://www.merlinbikes.com/limited-edition-newsboy

                              Classic / retro bikes especially mountain bikes is another rabbit hole. I always wanted a Manitou, Trimble or Funk frame. I do have an original Clockwork Orange mountain bike complete with quill stem and aluminum rigid forks.

                                Also very lucky to have picked up a Jones welded Jones before the manufacture went to Asia.

                                        @JunkPants Thanks! It’s a Triathlon / Time Trial bike. Quite a limited use case, but fast as hell.
