Great looking bike. The photo is tainted unfortunatly. The Örn fra Herning consumed something other than a popular energy drink to give him wings.

"Not desirable??" you must joking!! In my opinion the alu/carbon mix frame is the most comfortable, value for money frame available. My Sintesi has a sloping top tube which possibly gives the frame a little more relaxed frame geometry. It possibly resembles a Giant TCR frame in that respect. The...

Isn't that a criminal act. The person that carried out this haenous crime should be put behövd bars.

Nice looking bike with great components. I would stay with the carbon forks. If carbon fibre does have a shock absorbing characteristic then that's a very good reason to keep them. I have a carbon cockpit, apart from the saddles, on my two road bikes, for increased comfort. My frames are stiff...

Hope you don't mind me asking but what is the cause of the bad knee? Can it be rectified?

Re: Really nice looking bike. Just one little thing though, the wheel skewers are on the "wrong" side. The locking wing should be on the left/non drive side of the wheel. Just sayin :) before you get hung out by the real purists. Regards, Richard Lees.

Re: Thanks for the info. I own/ride 2 Sintesi framed bikes that i've built up. My first one is an SP400,(i think, it's in the loft in a box & i haven't seen it since Nov) .The frame is Altec 2, non oversize tubing with 1" carbon forks. It's dressed up with Campagnolo components and Gipiemme...

Re: Carbon frame collection. Do you have a Giant Cadex 980 in the corner of the room? Is it the naughty corner for badly behaved bikes? However, if it is a Cadex, how have you experienced the ride quality, comfort and rigidity? I've just got hold of such a frame but haven't started to assemble...

Re: Hello. What is the rear spacing and seatpost diameter? Also do you have any kind of cost info to ship it to Sweden. Regards, Richard Lees.

Re: Re: What about the pedals? They became available to ordinary people 1985. That's called development. Even Sean Kelly uses clipless pedals nowadays. Enjoy it.

Re: Hello there. Wales is quite a big country, which part do you live in? Before you get too excited, i am trying as much as i can to not buy your wheels but i'm finding them difficult to resist. Regards, (Ex welsh pat) Richard Lees.

Re: Hello. I'll take the brake shoes and the remaining black XT rear skewer, assuming they haven't been sold that is. The messages are a bit confusing or may not be up to date, of course: Can you post direct to Sweden. I will cover the extra cost of course. Let me know the total cost and your...

Re: XT front mech, top pull, 28,6mm. Hello . I would like to buy the above mentioned front mech, can you post it to my home address in Sweden? Best Regards, Richard Lees.

Re: Hello. I'll take them please. How would you like to be paid? Can/would you post overseas as i live in Sweden. I can pay the extra cost, otherwise you can send to an address in Wales if it's tio inconvenient for you. Best Regards, Richard Lees.

Re: Have a look under the bartape. My suspicion is that it's a repainted Raleigh Rapide without the Raleigh headbadge remounted. The bars may be Raleigh stamped SR. The dropouts might also be Gipiemme. Don't take my word for it as i'm purely guessing. Good Look.

Re: Hello. Is the XT rear mech still available or has it gone? I am interested in the 8spd cassette, the XTR brake arms & if the XT rear mech has gone, i suppose i will have to make do with the XTR one instead. What will be the postage cost to Sweden for these items? Regards, Richard Lees.

Re: Does anyone out there know by whom the frame was built? I'm curious because Kelvin mentioned that it was built in Cardiff and i just happen to come from that region. I am only aware of C.W. Alexander and a guy who built bike frames when he wasn't repairing washing machines. It may be...

Re: I thought i would attempt to clear up a couple of points regarding cycling shoes. They are designed and made for 1 purpose, namely cycling. They're not suitable for anything else. If you need to walk then i suggest using cleat covers. They increase the life of the cleats and make walking a...

Re: Expander plug for carbon fork. Unfortunatly, the star fangled washer top cap is not suitable for a carbon fibre steerer tube. It has to be the expander type of top cap. Thanks for showing an interest. Regards, Richard Lees.

Greetings All from the beautiful west coast of Sweden. Is there anybody out there that has or knows, where i can possibly purchase an expander plug that will fit in a steerer tube with an inner diameter of 19mm. I am getting desperate and my build has gone on hold. The only positve that has come...
