BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: Spring Has Sprung
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/04/spring-has-sprung.html
Sunday, 21 April 2013. Just 3 weeks ago we had 2 feet of snow (deeper in the drifts). This weekend its been bright and sunny, so the start of the "quick training ride before the family get up for their weekend breakfasts" has kicked off in earnest. Loving the Infinito - such a pleasure to ride. Here's the bike at the top of Moel Famau / Bwlch Pen Barras this morning:.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: A Tale of Two (pairs of) Pedals
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-tale-of-two-pairs-of-pedals.html
Friday, 25 January 2013. A Tale of Two (pairs of) Pedals. About 2 years ago my MTB Shimano LX bear cage pedals started to make grinding noises - past time for a bearing rebuild. Steel cage - good. Allen cage bolts - good. Plastic moulded body - not very strong looking. Bearing seals - no outer seal, thin inner seal - not good. Ball bearings - tiny (possibly inadequate) - not good. Steel cage - good. Cross head cage bolts - not very positive, good that they weren't partially siezed. Thanks for your input.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: A Wheely Weighty Issue
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-wheely-weighty-issue.html
Saturday, 30 March 2013. A Wheely Weighty Issue. From a wheel perspective the Infinito came with:. Fulcrum Racing 7 rims and hub. Vittorio 700 x 23 white tread tyres. Campagnolo Veloce 10 speed cassette. Infinito, as purchased. First ride suggested that the wheels weren't spinning up as well as I was used to on the via Nirone 7 that was fitted with a Xero wheelset (that seems to be no longer available in the UK). In terms of value for money. When I found a black set at High on Bikes. Pro Lite = 1065g.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: ToB 2013
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/09/tob-2013.html
Thursday, 19 September 2013. Its been cold, wet and windy. Quite astonishing how abruptly the Summer has ended and how Autumnal weather has arrived a little early. Such has been the welcome for riders in the Tour of Britain this week. Its been unrelentingly miserable for the riders. I'm hoping though, that the equally unrelenting support, encouragement and enthusiasm of the crowds has helped them on their way. Two enjoyable days and wins for Brad and Cav. Excellent. Team Sky Procycling Lead The Peloton.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: What A Machiiiiine
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-machiiiiine.html
Thursday, 28 February 2013. With apologies to Jeremy Clarkson (it's often you'll hear that eh? First 15 miles on the Infinito today - first time that I've been further than the end of the next street. Bright, crisp, breezy, main roads dry with dusty salt, some of the single tracks had a damp and slippery surface. From the same manufacturer? Both built as sportive bikes? Surely the differences are going to be subtle? So why bother buying a carbon framed bike if you're skeptical? Thanks for your input.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: Nercwys Forest 31st Jan
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2013/01/nercwys-forest-31st-jan.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. Nercwys Forest 31st Jan. Sneaky extended lunch break today. Went up to Nercwys, did three laps then rode back down the hill. So a steady run round as it was all a bit unpredictable. Could still get some speed up on the downhill from the viewpoint (I went round anti-clock today). After forest, before Fenwick's:.

BIANCHISTI CYMRAEG: Strip and Build of Medium Frame
http://bianchisticymraeg.blogspot.com/2012/11/strip-and-build-of-medium-frame.html
Monday, 19 November 2012. Strip and Build of Medium Frame. It's just about possible to see the top tube profile here. The Large frame has a round top tube, the medium frame has a round top, but a U shaped lower half. Rear Hope Mono Mini caliper. BB installed - Shimano Octalink. Old inner tube initially fitted to protect chainstay from chain slap damage. Later in the build this was replaced by a LizardSkins protector - more expensive, but a much smarter result. Very happy with the resulting look. Adjustme...
