It's a giant tallon 1. Yeah it's a lot faster and a good bit better on the road and it's nice to have the lockers on the front forks. Also it makes it easier going over stuff with the bigger wheels

Bought it off my brother in laws brother in law :hehe!: who bought it last year and did one trip (5k) on it and gave up :surprised: good for me, bad for him !
Looking forward to getting out on it now.
I have been out on my old GT mountain bike which I stripped and rebuilt over last few weeks but decided I needed a road bike.
I have to replace and change a few bits on it but that all part of the fun :happy:

Looks nice that Thompson..what's the spec on it? Would like a road bike but nowhere to keep it!
A few months on now with the carbon Kula, absolutely love it...very nimble on the trails, light as a feather so it's easy to chuck around.
All washed after Sundays spin

Also a new 180mm disc up front to give it a little more stopping power...

Full carbon frame and forks with alloy head.
Shimano Tiagra brakes/ gears etc.
rodi wheels and stem.
Schwalbe Lugano tires.
Just have to get clip less pedals and swap the brakes sides, I prefer the F/R R/L it's the opposite way at the minute.
Just had it out for a 25k spin and love the speed it has compared to the mountain bike. Ye really feel every little bump on the road though, I'll definitely be staying on the main roads.
Lovely looking Kona, where do ya go on it, just to do all the fire trails in the Wicklow mountains back in the day. Some great tracks up there
Yeah I'd say the difference in speed is something else. I noticed that going to the carbon fibre frame on the mtb.
Regular trails arw Ballinastoe and Ticknock...really great trails up there and all a few minutes from my front door
I'm in meath and usually just stick to forest beside me and canals. We're else would there be good light trails anyone know ?

My absence and lack of posting on this, and other forums, over the last 2 years is down to one thing, cycling! Knocking in about 300km/week on average. Started A4 racing last year, no luck yet but getting closer every race. Fingers constantly crossed.
Here's my current steed:

Have it since last November.
Fondriest TF3 1.2 Carbon monocoque frameset
Ultegra Di2 6800 groupset. Internal cabling & battery.
Dura-ace 9000 53-39 crankset
Stages powermeter
Fulcrum red-wind 50mm carbon wheelset
3T team integrated Garmin stem
Michelin Pro4 Service course tyres.
Tips the scales at just over 7kgs. Worth more than I'd care to admit, definitely more than the E60 :cool:
Laughing here at the lads modifying their bikes much like their cars. When it's in the blood, it's in the blood! :cool:
Fixed that for ya there:tounge:Quote:
