Hannes Wessels in Cape Town, South Africa has a very unique Bianchi that was rescued from the dustbin, repaired and repainted as a tribute to the Ducati Panigale Speciale. A beautiful looking bike with a great story.

With the UCI banning aero positions at the moment, it's very nice to look back at a time trial machine from the 80's. Neville's TT machine is a classic of its time and doesn't need any UCI approval as it 'was last used in anger in 1999'. This is a real Raleigh low-pro classic.

Normally associated with Ferrari, today's Readers' Rig is instead a Lamborghini styled Colnago C50 modified by its owner for his ultimate ride. A highly original custom paint job, Campagnolo record gearing, Zipp wheels and a light weight are just some of the features of this unique ride.

Today's reader is Aaron from Australia who has added to his ever growing stable of Specialized bikes a Allez Sprint LTD in bright pink which, certainly doesn't go unnoticed on the roads down under.

Today's rig is a Cervélo S3 that was bought as a frame back in 2011 but has received some classy upgrades to put it on par with more modern machines. Built up with SRAM Red and some sweet carbon rims, the bike weighs in at a very light 6.32 kg to make it a great climbing and flats bike for owner Twain from San Francisco.

As a lover of high end bikes, our reader Andy from Connecticut was always going to get a special bike when he went bike shopping but instead of just another off the shelf option he instead went all out with a sweet custom Favaloro Puma XLIGHT from Italy decked out with full Campag Super Record of course. Bellissimo!

To celebrate his fiftieth birthday, Richard from Sheffield in the U.K treated himself to a beautiful custom bike from the guys at Field Cycles that he tried to build up with as many local components as possible all the while keeping the bike modern, classy and sporty. Objective achieved I'd say.

Today we look at an iconic Readers' Rig. A custom steel bike, based on a Shimano promotional poster from the '80s. With the frame copied perfectly, the owner himself then hit the spraybooth to paint his creation with the result being such a cool bike that Shimano themselves bought it and now have it displayed in their bike museum in Japan!

Today's reader Peter from California has owned a massive 40+ bikes since the cycling bug bit him, but he thinks his custom Firefly Ti/Carbon Road could well be his last...
