Claud Butler Milano frame with carbon aero forks and Vuelta lightweight rims.
Shimano gearsets and can't remember the name of the manfacturer of the cleats.
Tri-bars and cyclometer.
I used it for triathlon training and usage before I did my legs in, still use it for the odd Bristol-Bath 25 mile ride though. .
Weighs literally nothing, it's fantastic to ride and very comfortable. ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."

El cheapo Raleigh Mustang (not the original just a mountain bike named after it)

Cheap as chips but gets the job done..could do with more gears though!!!
Only mods? I changed the saddle since this pic was taken..the thin one that was on there was a little uncomfortable..felt like it was trying to penetrate me, and I just don't swing that way...

I'm in the process of building a new single speed round an old 1960's Puch steel racer frame I picked up in the car boot for £24. My new house is at the top of a long hill into town so I'm planning on getting a double freewheel with two different sprocket sizes on a QD hub. Ride fast down the hill, goto shops, switch chain onto lower gear, ride back up hill.

Favourite one I've built recently though is the fixie I made for my fiancee. 1976 Releigh competition frame in reynolds tubing. Double acting Weinman calliper on the front. Systemex flip-flop hub and a nice mavic rims. Shimmed out original alloy crankset with shortened stack bolts.
Weighed 5kg dead before I was made to take the period Brookes racing saddle off and attach something "with more padding".
Yes, that did say STEEL frame and FIVE kilogrammes. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.
