[Music] Oh, [Music] [Music] wow. Wow. Oh, [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Hi guys, welcome back and thanks again for joining me on my vlog today. I really do appreciate your company, guys. I really do. I just stopped in these beautiful grounds here just to show you the bike. Yeah, I’m out on the S Works today. Yeah, just before I left home, I put some new bar tape on the bike. I done a nice neat edge finish on that one. Yeah, I still haven’t got my face plate yet. Still not arrived. So, uh hopefully that’ll be here soon. I can put my front mount on then. I did have a I did order a second pair of pedals like this. I put the original ones that come on the bike. I put them on the Creole and these are the new ones. I’ve just set them up as well this morning before I come out. Oh, what a bike, guys. What a bike. You know, there’s not a mark on it. Look at that there. Look, nothing. Not a mark on it. Bearing in mind this bike is 10 years old. Um, and it was built in Dubai by Specialized. And you know, the owner, previous owner had this frame custom made for him. Yeah. Talking to him, um, I know it’s been, uh, laid dormant for 3 or 4 years. I mean, I do what, on average 5,000 mi a year. And this one’s estimated to have done only 2,000 miles in 10 years. And the owner said he used to ride around um ride around a racetrack. I think it was a Formula 1 racetrack out in the desert there. So, uh, that’s it. That’s its life. and has come back to the UK. Just been sat in his garage gathering dust. Right, I’m going to crack on now, guys. I’m just going to head up through Silverton and then go down through Exod City Center and that. So, as usual, guys, let’s go and see if we see anything else interesting on today’s ride. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] [Music] And then we got [Music] to take that. It’s an excellent cathedral. Happy birthday. [Music] [Music] [Music] Lovely singing up there, guys. The choir. It’s got the builder’s radio going on as well. I’ve been listening to this. [Music] Oh, sounds lovely in there, doesn’t it, guys? She couldn’t see that she was walking in a cycle path. Then [Applause] on the key, please. Thank you. Cheers. vlog. Yeah. Even on the rough comels, this bike was quite comfortable. Well, as comfortable as riding on cobwebs can be. Yeah, I got no bell on this bike. I can’t fit one on Nothing. [Applause] You see how quick you can go from the city center to the keyside. Absolutely gorgeous down here. Right, let’s give it some beans, shall we? God, this bike is super quick. Oh, again I had a lovely ride again today. Absolutely love it. Seems weird as well to be on 28s again. They seem so skinny nowadays, but they’re not really, are they? You know what I mean? I think 28s is a good uh is a good compromise really. They’re lighter. Whether they’re faster, I don’t know whether they’re faster than the 30s. I don’t know. Obviously not as comfortable as a 30 32s, but um they are comfortable. Do you know what I mean? I remember going from 23s to 25s and then going up to 28s, then to 30s, 32s, 38s, 40s. I don’t know. Yeah, I’ll probably stick to the 28s on the uh tarmac. [Music] Typical uh exit to traffic. This is right guys, that’s it from me for today’s ride. I hope you enjoyed that one. But if you did, could you please give us a like and come and subscribe to the channel? Well, until next time guys, keep smiling and riding and I’ll see you soon. Bye for now. Bye-bye. Bye. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Beautiful bike, a bonafide modern classic. 👍
I have the Aerofly bars on my Roubaix and struggled to get a bell on there. I ended up using a bell that fitted on the headset spacer and looks super neat. The bell hides behind the stem. Canyon also do a bell that that fits in the bar end plug
Creo might end up feeling sluggish after being on your S Works pal
Beautiful area!…. yes, I enjoyed that one, indeed.
Well done Harv, nice bike… cost🧐🤫😜
Nice ride Harvey bike looks amazing and sound great free wheeling 🚴👍😁
Great video. I have standardised on 32mm GP5000s (with tubes) now on 2 bikes and still playing with different pressures. What pressures are you running?
