*Cannondale f4000 sl 2006*

This is  the first high end bike I bought brand new. That was in october 2005, and the first ride was amazing. Really light compared to what I was used to, about 10kg including pedals, and a huge stifness. The lefty has been a great fork, very nice travel, and not more mantaince than another well known forks.
Here some pics when it was new:

And here some more with a few thousand km on it :

*Klein Attitude 1992*

This one was my second retrobike. I bought it here, in Spain, and it was in nice shape, but had some paint fade.
The build was pretty much m900, and looked great, but soon arrived other ones that I liked more and this one had to go, some one in the UK bought it.
I´m not a big fan of aluminium frames in rigid and vintage bikes, specially if are going to be used, so not quite sad of selling this, even if it looked really great!

*Kona Hei Hei 1993*

This is the first titanium bike I owned, but sadly I sold it last year. I bought it in Barcelona in 2006, and I was lucky enough to find the frame with the cool P2 titanium.
This particular frame, was built in 1993 as a weight weenie, and appeared in a spanish magazine. This is the set up 17 years ago, and a great weight of just 7.15kg!!!

 The original owner cut the vertical tube to shave some grams... and this with the fact of using a seatpost with a different diameter, the frame had a tiny crack. It didn´t grow a mm for the 4 years I had it, but it´s a shame...
This is what I bought:

I wasn´t told about the crack, and didn´t noticed it untill began the build...
The first build up wasn´t very classic, I wanted a titanium rigid and light bike. I also liked the retro look, but still far from making a good build. Had some XTR m952 parts, and found some NOS purple cool bits, so...

The purple bits were gone for another project, and this one was going more red...

A full Pro shift  transmission in red. So good looking and so bad shifting...
So finally went to some Paul-Dura ace thumbies, and this went better. Some of the next pics are in Zaragoza:

Finally sold it last year, because the Specialized Ultimate appeared, and I received an offer for this from a very nice french guy... hope you enjoy it Pierre!!!

Seven IMX 2008

For a long time I wanted a Seven, it had to be a Sola or an IMX. Finally, I found a nice IMX so had to go for it. This is the original set up of the original owner.

I bought just the frame, but wouldn´t keep any of the parts. I´m thinking in a Shimano m952, that nice grey will match very well to this frame.
The always cool McConneloug´s bikes...

Here some pics of the frame, the seat post is there just to check the saddle height.

Here the pics from the first rides last week in Zaragoza:
