Very happy. There is no way I could have afforded a "name" brand bike of similar spec's (Aero Carbon and DI2). Do I really need either ? - nope, but I love it.I also think it looks great and had a few people comment favourably on the recent Hunter Classic ride (and not all of them were overtaking me at the time)damascato wrote:Thanks mate. Are you happy about your Omeo?
I recenltly bought cyclocross bike, and was considering the Cell Brunswick. The only reason I didnt was just the hassle of going to Sydney to get the bike and returning in the unlikely event of having any hassles/warranty issues. If I lived in Sydney or Melbourne I would almost certainly have gone for the Cell.

Go there during weekday, or when their staff is not too busy, when I pick up my omeo, I spent almost 4 hrs inside the shop, I test ride two size of that model few time each size, because my high is in between, and after I chosen the size and they put me up on a trainer for almost 20min for fine tune adjustment, so yes they do provide proper bike fit as long as their staff is not busy.damascato wrote:Hey guys,

Our in-house bike designer, Dave Musgrove knows the attaquer gents and wears their gear. The cycling industry in Oz is a small and tight group and we do our best to support one another.
Thanks for your thoughts on the video. That day was a blast!

Hi wgc138,wgc138 wrote:So when will the omeo refresh come in?
What are you looking for in regards to what the Omeo has or doesn't have.
There are 3 versions (Omeo 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) which run the gamut of specs & options for the price range.
Omeo 1.0: Complete Shimano Ultegra 11 Speed groupset, FSA Team Issue and SL-K components, Mavic Aksium S wheelset with 25mm Mavic Aksion tyres
Omeo 1.5: Complete SRAM Force 22 speed groupset, Zipp Service Course SL handlebar and stem, Zipp 30 aerodynamic wheelset with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Slick 25mm tyres
Omeo 2.0: Electronic shifting with a complete Shimano Ultegra 11 Speed Di2 groupset, FSA SL-K stem and full carbon handlebar, Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheelset with 25mm Mavic Yksion Comp tyres
Let me know what you think of the price and performance fit-out of our current models and your ideas for a refresh.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I think his point is that none of the models have new components requiring a new model - the new Mavic rim wheels aren't much different, Ultegra 6800 is still new and probably will be for a couple years yet, same for Force 22 and the Zipp 30s, and same for Ultegra 6870.wgc138 wrote:Just PM'd you mate. Omeo's are great, don't take my post the wrong way. With all products being refreshed with 2015 models on most makes and modes, I thought its a fair question to ask.
If I was to offer my opinion it would be to drop the notion of years from bike models completely, but I think it'll take the whole industry moving that way first.

2wheels_mond, yes! We are doing 'version' rather than 'year'.2wheels_mond wrote:If I was to offer my opinion it would be to drop the notion of years from bike models completely
Having versions of a bike, allows us to update when we want, without being hampered by what year it is.
For example, we had the Akuna 1.0, and the 1.1 followed suit.
With versions, we can show updates accordingly.

Why the shift to 32mm tyres? What was the problem with the 25mm tyres the bike came with? Isn't that a bit like fitting a square peg in a round hole? I think if I was going to do that I would just buy a bike that readily accepted 32mm tyres. Personally I wont buy a bike for commuting unless It will take mudguards. I'm not keen on getting sprayed up the back and legs.bigfriendlyvegan wrote:Behold the Fatkuna. Brooks saddle, because the standard one didn't agree with my butt. 32mm Vittoria Randonneurs, though I had to swap the front wheel for a narrower rimmed one to get clearance. There's a bee's thingy gap there, but it rolls smoothly. Starting to look a bit like a Brunswick. Click'R pedals. Very solid fast commuter.

I agree, sort of, about the mudguards. I rode with them for ages and have them on my touring bike, but I often ride to meet up with the wife and kids somewhere and then throw the bike in the back of the car. I can't do that with permanent mudguards, so I ditched them on my commuter. For the number of days I ride in the fine weather compared to the number of days I ride in the wet, I can do without them. Punctures on the other hand I can do without. I need my bike to get to work and between campuses, so reliability is important, hence the tough tyres.
I plan to do some crits on the Akuna, so I have a set of wheels with 25s on them just waiting to go at a moments notice.
The purpose of sharing the pic is to show that it can be done, not necessarily that it should be done. Thanks for asking.

I've just put a cambium on the Akuna. Very sleek lines, wrong colour for it, though. I'll transfer it to one of my retro bikes and get a black one. So far it's more comfortable that the leather Brooks.rodneycc wrote:Hi BFV, brooks on road bikes just look big and weird to me.
