Have you considered a bike fit?

I think the seattube extension is a little deceptive here. would it still look bad if the seatpost was integrated? I think it's borderline OK for someone who probably has short legs and long torso?

minimax?

main frame slx, forks crown and stays columbus air

The length of planet-x track fork is 375, isn't it?

Nice Roberts. I like the stay cap pantograph.

Yes - quite long a-c for a track fork.

Almost the same length as a Surly Steamroller fork.

This is so perf for you

Sometime ago when I posted a picture of my track bike someone really wanted to buy Scatto bars from me, can't remember who it was. I didn't want to sell them then, but they are for sale now.

Built some new wheels, painted tb14's matt black, grand compe rear, miche front, 49:18-16. new 100mm stem, feels very 'right'

Look perfect.

Looks sick mate.
Good work

Have you considered a bike fit?

Due to fucked up proportions (long torso/arms to relatively short legs), this bike actually fits me pretty well.

This happened to anyone elses cxp30's? Got these secondhand a while ago but can't think why this might have happened, haven't played with the spokes or anything.

DA 7600 rear hub to Archetype or TB14? Got the hub cheap and can get a TB14 cheap but prefer the look of archetypes

^^ Over tensioned?

Pretty miffed, they've been sat doing nothing for like 6 months. Do people still need the eyelet things?

I've had both.
I prefer the Archetype on a modern build.

I've put my 7600s on silver TB14s for my steel NJS bike. I think it looks better.

^ don't throw away the eyelet thingys. I'd put up a sale thread or eBay.

They're such a pain if you don't have them. I was sold a pair of tubs which had the eyelets removed... I left them on the road side near London Fields in the end :(

Mind me asking where you got cheap tb14's from?

Looks like Hulsroy got me sold on a little 2 degree slope on the TT, which lead to 10mm longer head tube (removing 10mm of spacers).
