Schwalbe Kojak

ftfy

also, +1. I never used them but most on the polo crowd use them, and they need great cornering grip in the wet.

Love that stem. 3t more, right? Where did you get it from? Also, what bars are those?

Yep, it's a 3T More. Got it from marktplaats a few months ago. There's one for sale over here too http://www.troc-velo.com/peripherique-potence-3-t-more-1-1-889332.htm

Bars are Ritchey Neoclassics, short reach but with curved drops.

^those neoclassics look like quite the winner for me..
i always loved "hanging" on the ends with giro d'italias, but loved the reduced reach of cseveral compqct but missed the elongated ends of the traditional bends.
was then eyeing up highway ones since they do stretch more "backward", but this does look like it does a better job. thanks!

How ironic... I finally stae my intentions in this thread and rthe same night someone steals my rear wheel.... with the rim I really needed, and was planning on rebuilding... FFS.

Chance of finding another 28h omega clincher?

specialised fatboy - for a slick 26" tyre
have done very well for me

Super sensible Shorter

reaaaaally nice

^^ super nice indeed! Although a Tubus fly in silver would have been nicer IMO.
Lovely Red build

I did want a stainless rack, but I bought the above ultralight, a black one for a different bike, and have enough change for 6 pints* compared with a tubus fly.

It would also seem a shame not to use the pannier mounts that the frame has and faff on with mounting at the brake bridge. I may trim the mounting arms at some point to neaten it up.

*you may deduce from this I am not from London.

That the tortec one?

yep, its a tortec ultralite.

I did trim the mounts when I used mine and it looked a bit neater. I just find the Tortec a bit too high for such a tight geometry.
I used the Rack mounts on my GT, but that's because the mounts are not embedded in the tubing so I see where you're coming from.

^^^ The Peugeot team!

Brilliant.

Installed campag cobalt front brake, cut the steerer and fitted new cockpit (highway ones and tektro ergo levers), will call it a day after getting the forks chromed and decals.
Sorry for shit lighting
EDIT:
scratch that, changing the saddle didn't hurt either, along with a slightly better picture
