Any advice for the pressure of my new set of tubular ?
Conti are narrow than Roubaix.
Thinking of 115psi front 125 psi rear to hold my 175 lbs.
What do you think of it ?

Bike looks great, but that pressure seems a little high. I run 85 front 95 rear and I weigh 165lb though. It is trail and error, start high and work your way down to that sweet spot.

Are you running that pressure on 23?
That’s the real width of my Conti pro Ltd 22.

So sorry about your crash. Hope you’re ok. Hadn’t seen this before. But love that “old school / new school” comparison above. To my eyes the old school looks better from pretty much every aspect. See if you can’t find yourself a “new” old school type frame as a replacement.
