IR's multiple build thread.

you needed some cranks so you borrowed a frameset? Logical

He leant me a whole bike, was less effort to take the cranks out and work chain line with a on the gangsta wheel set. The BB and cranks on this end up at 44.5mm so pretty much perfect for the paul/archetype wheel build.

Then just seat post and cockpit from pendle.

Tape is rad

Haha, repped for awesome hashtag. But my tyre-shredding ability has decreased, I don't even skid (as much) anymore.

Indra - is that Nabil's build?

Just the frame set and cranks are his, the rest is mine.

Tape is rad

Cheers, recycled tape is recycled.

Did bilal used to have that tape? Looks pretty good

Yeah and probably Kamal before that.

Hoping to be able to buy some silver omnoms before the dynamo.

Trying to get aero in anticipation of riding track when I'm back from holidays.

Needs dubious curtains.

Bend your arms.

I will, I'm just so new and bad at rollers that I didn't dare try.

Pic #1 with a list longer stem.

... but everyone is different, you won't know where you want your weight until you're racing.

You think so? It's already a 130 or 135 but needs replacing so I guess I'll try a 140.

Really 22.2mm clamp though?

That's a mistake, it's 26mm clamp, 22.2mm steerer.

That's what I thought although it looks like it's out of stock/was never made anyway.

I wonder how one of these would look.

Everyone is different Indra. I can't tell how comfortably you can close up that hip angle (for example). I only know what works for me.

Just see how you feel after racing then you'll have an idea if you want to get further forward/back, arms higher/lower, back flatter or more upright etc. You just have to see. Riding on the rollers won't replicate it.

Your jersey is too big for you.

He'll grow into it once his old man fatness kicks in.

Your jersey is too big for you.

Yes and thank you Ed.

Try getting a jersey that fits.
