Bishop full stop.

Fast road platform, direct mount brakes, I'm running Vittoria Corsa Control G2.0 30's that measure 32 on Bora WTO's with room to spare. It's fast, corners on a rail, balanced, stable, inspires me to ride harder and longer, and it's so gorgeous.

Worth. Every. Penny.

I’m going Bishop from Bmore and going with Columbus Spirit tubes. 44mm headtube made a liiiitttle bit long so I can age into it. Mid reach brakes, T47 bb and WI throughout. Ooooooooo

Didn’t even see your post and went straight for Bishop too

I’m past the coveting stage when it comes to bikes. Except for one. Yours. 🍻

I think it is time you try a C60.

If it's a frameset and I have that much to spend, it would probably be a Strong Ti. Love his ethos and have no doubt that he could build me a bike that would be perfect.

Can’t speak more highly about my Letras (I test rode a rim model too). They build so light, it’s both tasty and comfy, and descends so confidently. The thin tube aesthetics meets modern performance make it a winner in my book

Really cool to see you pile the miles on it! Is it your only/main road bike now?

I have a 2009 Lynskey R330 that I really enjoy. BUT....the more miles I do on the Bishop, the more I'm starting to find things to nit-pick about the Lynskey and its 12 year old RIVAL drivetrain with 76,500 miles on it. I had a crazy plan to try and clock 100k miles on the Lynskey by the time I'm 65 yrs old (I'll be 60 in November), but I doubt I'll make it now that I've got the Bishop.
