And now for something completely different! Far from old school but what I like to think of as old school carbon, I present to you my 2010 GT Power Series Ultrabox 2, otherwise known as the "UB2" to GT aficionados. The full story on this Marmite monocoque is posted here:-

...but in short, I picked up the bike in Sept and have been slowly chopping, changing and replacing parts to the point where it's now ready to race again. The first two pics are before and after shots to highlight the transformation from overweight frankenbike to rejuvenated race rig, with a couple of other photos that show off that fat slab of carbon.
