Treated myself to a cheeky Pinarello Dogma F8. Picked it up last night from my local bike shop, Pedal Power West Lothian, after a great build by the legend that is Jonathan McBain:
First ride this evening, excited :D

Jealous a big bit.

We hired them on the Frolic and there was one this colour for sale in Macaulene in France.

That's where I first saw it Steve, we stayed directly opposite that bike shop when we did the Cingles Du Mont Ventoux back in June :)

That does look very nice!

To correct Steve, he and Gary (being it seems vertically average) were able to hire them.
I had to make do with a larger, lesser donkey:

...which was still much better than me and rather embarrassing when kids took pictures of it at Cafe Reynard and expected a 'proper' rider. :oops:

Looks good, are those wheels Fulcrum's equivalent of the Mavic Exalith? Ive got the Exalith SLR wheels on mine and they are phenomenal for breaking (and stay black, cause a bike that looks good goes ALOT faster!)

How was Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux?

The Cinglés was an epic day in the saddle. An iconic hill that I recommend every cyclist tries, although maybe not 3 times in a day unless you like your climbing :D 42 miles uphill was tough but on the flip side we had to descend the same.
