Work bikes

[Mr. Orange]

My 2001 Principia RCS, Ultegra. Bought back then as my Road bike.
Last year I renovated it with new cables, handlebar tape, and put on the intended Titanium ionitrated Chainring and Cassette, which I had made around 2004. At the time these parts arrived, this bike was stolen, so they server on other roadbikes in the meantime. Finally, the parts came together. Not on this photo, but to finish it off, I found a set of Tune hubs and got hand on 2 vintage Mavic CXP23 rims from that period, which I build to a set of wheels.
Now in use as my daily commuter.

Lilac Pioneer has taken over commute duties while the Red Pioneer undergoes a rebuild, think he's made the job his own.

Yeah thanks. I've only just finished it to be honest and it's now sporting better pedals.

I had to retire my all steel Saracen Tufftrax and this is a revelation weight wise.

Need to get some slicks though....
