The one thing I never heard because my broke arse has never had a good bike, is the hub sounds. Holy shite, it's like a 1000 angry hornets.

Thats how you know its $$

I don't even need a bell for passing, just let the hub sing to let them know i'm coming by.

YES! It's been hilarious, I just let off pedaling and people jump off the path.

I upgraded the 350 on my Roval Rapides from 36t to 54t for a little extra umph in the freewheel department.

It's the blue colorway on mine, not the white. I'm trying not to put too much out there. And no, I didn't buy the frameset, it's the full bike. It was used through buycycle. The specs are nothing fancy, dura ace di2, 60mm dt swiss.


Ummm, ok.. i’d like to see a pic, sounds nice.

I dont think trek or specialized make any of their frames in the US anymore.

I meant relative to what people normally think for hardware on a Colnago. Most people think Campagnolo super record.

Dura ace just seems common to us, I rarely see campy much.

This is the best I can do. I'm not putting actual pics. I don't think you guys here would be crazy, but i don't trust a few poli board posters that have doxxed people. I get into way too many arguments there.

When i bought it, you can see its sisters on buycycle still if you look there. There we 3 for sale, two in my size range. There's still two of them.


So picture this, but with a bisaddle, dt swiss 60mm wheels, and a 180lb dude riding it, with a rudy project wing helmet. And yeah, it was very expensive, and costs nearly what my car does, but i grew up broke, and I've never owned anything this expensive before, but I love bikes so i finally treated myself. I've always just settled and bought 5+ year old bikes to ride. My Tarmac was old as hell, mechanical groupset, etc.

This is my first "new" bike even though it's gently pre-owned.

I can’t believe someone on TD owns a Y1RS. Insane

My fellow cyclists friends think I'm nuts because I can't possibly go as fast as it wants to go.

And it's a really interesting position, it's obviously very aggressive, like something just a few steps away from a tri bike position. I'm going to add aero bars at some point, but I'm going to consult with Colnago before I do it, to make sure it complements the bike.

And pricing is more reasonable than people think. I know what they cost new, but on buycycle, where I bought it, it's around 40% off new. I'm crazy, but not crazy enough to buy one new.

And on that note, if you guys are wanting a European speedbike at a discounted price, buycycle is the way to go.

BTW, you're full of shite. There's a bunch for sale on the used market. What's unreasonable about me spending $13,000 on a bike?
