Switch to carbon - my new toy!


Finally took the plunge and decided to upgrade my old aluminium frame with a nice smart looking carbon beauty. Ribble Cycles do some reasonably priced carbon frames - I ordered the Gran Fondo, which is more of a sportive-type geometry than my current model. If all goes to plan it should come over the Easter holidays giving me a few days to build it up ready for my first 100m sportive of the season on Sunday 1st May in the Surrey hills. Here is a picture of how the bike should look once I have completed the build - unfortunately my wheels are not so high spec as those in the picture.

Anyone got a spanner?
