Thanks @miro_o, Rossin make some stunning detailed frames and that fork crown is one of my favourite, so elegant.

Internal forkcrown biz. My rossin had the same.

@Thrust: What tires are those? Rossin looked very nice. Cool bartape :)

Gotta say I prefer the traditional external lugged fork crown, like on mine (cue archive photo):

I was wondering how much will my new mielec weight /full bike.
note: As I don't have a big scale where wheels can stand still on it, I used my finger to keep wheels on balance, so wheels weight is estimated. Also I don't have the frame and the weight is estimated, my mash size M weighted X so mielet should weight Y.

Dunno if I left something. I thing I didn't. 7697 is quite ok weight, isn't it?
k. lockrings are included in wheels weight. one is generic the other is halo.

I remember that beauty, think the frames where from the same age. What year was yours from?

84-87ish

Vittoria Tecno 19c

Put the wheel on its side with the axle in a bowl. Weigh it. Weigh bowl. Subtract.

It's one of these:

I'ts quite small, the plate is 13x13cm. Impossible to fit a wheel :/

If you're not too worried about a high degree of precision, a tenner can buy you some hanging scales (from the meat industry): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-251073-Hanging-Scales-Heavy/dp/B002QRWIT6

But then... if you're not worried about precision your spreadsheet is good enough.

Bought one of these yesterday: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111283798589?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Errors: 20g-10kg 5g // 10kg-40kg 10g.

Ah. I assumed a plain flat kitchen scale. Never seen a wall-mounted scale!

I got some Pink Oury's you can have cheap ;)

Slow progress on the road bike...

Damn. Wish I had a Rossin.

@eyebrows if you are riding a 54 dale then you can easily get on my TFG cross .. very little diff in reach. A little higher stack which is ideal if you are going to use it for cross ..

I'm based in The Netherlands, so shipping/grip ratio would be a little off.

Already hunting down some Bike Ribbon tape, black. But thanks!

Took delivery of this today. Quite stoked!

Dropbar build

or

Riser build

Headset is getting replaced by a black CK Sotto Voce Nothreadset as soon I can source a Ck 1" stem cap in black.

drops no risers!

drops no risers!

HHSB innit! ;)

I broke one of my CX9s, on one have CX8.4s for £50 a pair, which is probably cheaper than getting one cx9 replaced, but whats the difference? between the 2?

CX9 have 90mm arms, 8.4 have 84 arms. The pull is a tiny bit different and supposedly optimised for different levers (Campy/SRAM maybe?)

Want to buy my un-broken CX9? Going to be getting rid of my Nitto M18 too if you're still after a tiny rack, undecided on the porteur though.

if you have a spare cx9 then ill take both!

black post, -17 black stem... come on, get with it.

Got an Easton post in the mancave.

-17 stem next month.
