RRRR 2012 Edition 2

You may remember some of the parts off this Rad Ride from 2 years ago. Dave has updated a few parts, the frame being the most obvious. Here's a few photos of the big red (soon to be pink?) beast!

The green parts are from back when Dave was on a stealthy M3 with green anodized parts. The brakes and hubs still remain.

Cane Creek, what else?

Dave flew here this year. Not with easyjet, but using his bars as wings. Cut down to 860mm!

Even his pedals weren't wide enough

Flying the flag. You can't get a more pimp seatpost than this

RRRR 2012

Lapierre Spicy, sleek matte silver, fox 36 up front, a mudguard that isn't a Marsh Guard (tut tut) blue formula brakes that could stop a freight train by the feel of them. He's running custom prototype pedals from WrongWayRound components and his shifter is made of platinum, it's that good

Elka stage 5, the thing that really brings this bike alive. Joe definitely didn't blow it up today though.

A bit of a mixture of blue and green anodizing (warranty replacement frame) but it still manages to look pretty spc

Like OMG, I'm bringing back the alliteration allstar (I don't know if that one counts) that is Riders Retreat's Rad Rides. So here's the first installment.

Riders Retreat's Rad Rides: Part 2

The second RRRR is Jonny's Intense 951. In pimp blue, with pimp blue hubs and rotor spiders, pimp CCDB and pimp boxxers, it's a pretty pimp bike. It's just a shame he went and smashed the E.thirteen before I could get a photo.

Hopefully I'll get a few RRRR's, unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of Will's TR450, kitted out with BOS and DeeMax shiny parts, so that one you'll have to imagine.

Here is Dave's Intense M3, anodised black with pimp green anaodized everything - linkage, brakes, stem, seat clamp, drop outs, with matching green hoses and chainring. Pretty Beasty.

Dave looks after it well too, he's been here 2 days and is planning on stripping his forks tomorrow, and has already taken everything apart to clean and regrease. If you want the pimp treatment from Dave, get on over to Formby Cycles.
