Now with 'guards and loads of lights
After a ride with -6 degrees and a lot of salt on the Dutch and Belgian roads. I cleaned the bike outside but my dad told me to put it in the bathtub for the night, he thought it could break with -18 in the shed..

I just found this thread, and this Niner is just amazing! I would never have thought that the color combination looked so nice in reality.
Truly classy build! A nice thing is that the orange color works so well with the anodized red. Now I know what kind of changes my mtb will go through before the next mtb season truly starts.
This is my Winter Bike:
Airbourne Thunderbird 54cm
Full 105 Groupset
Shimano 105 Wheels
FSA Bar, Stem and Seatpost
Fizik Saddle
I have just ordered a set of Shimano Ultegra/Mavic Open Pro wheels and the mugguards/reflectors are coming off soon now were in spring

Hello from Finland, first message on this forum! Here's my winter bike from yesterday's ride, heavy as hell though but in winter I don't care. When are we going to get spring here...

I love that bike too. The color would work for me because it could be visible from the air after I have a heart attack riding the ss in the snow!

[Offtopic] I have Northwave Fahrenheit shoes with aluminium insoles + neoprene shoe covers, Windstopper bib tights + normal bib tights underneath, base layer shirt + short jersey + windstopper jacket, sugoi firewall lobster gloves, skullcap and neck warmer that protects up to my nose. With that kind of clothing it's been possible to ride when thermometer hits -15 Celsius a couple of times/winter, only upper cheeks getting cold. The toughest part is that it takes time to dress all the layers and I'm sweating already before even getting outside [Offtopic]

Here´s my heavy winterbike, I actaully raced this bike long ago. The weight right now is somewhere between a car and a bus, but it make you stronger

The rear mudguard is called a "kompislapp" in sweden, it´s for keeping spray of your friend that sits on your wheel
