Dick's Resserection To Fix

Enough with the brown-nosing!
Yup, cranks not for sale, @sirbikealot sorry.

Ahhh there you are, didn't know your username on here!

A quick question for anybody out there:

I'm looking forward a few weeks but I want ideas on a nice 26.8 Seatpost, ideally something like DA etc - Japanese and good looking.
Needs to be 300mm+

Only option I can find for a reasonably nice option is Thomson... Nothing wrong with that, had a lot of Thomson stuff, but just doesn't quite fit the bike...

Been playing around with black vs silver this morning and I think the black will look best when eventually I've got the other parts, as I ideally want black cranks, stem etc.

Doesn't anyone know anyone who does anodising? Or where I can get a Black Nitto Jaguar 11 25.4mm clamp?

And I'm open to ideas on black cranks also...

I reckon the silver accentuates the dark of the wheels/frame nicely, but that might just be because all pics have been super dark...

Bit of a daytime shot:

Yeahh needs silver seat post.

Yeah I think I agree

I think il stick with silver seatpost, stem, cranks.

So

Seatpost ideas at 26.8? Am I missing anything or an I right in saying pretty much only thomson?

da7410 was made in 26.8 right?!

Yeah I think so, it's just a matter of finding a decent length....

Scratch that it's more if a case of finding one at all! Rocking horse shit by the looks of things!

Wanted advert posted!!!

few pics i took getting rather carried away with myself at 4am on the way back from a whiskey fuelled bender last week - got some Sugino 75's on there since these shots so pretty much sorted now:

That is so fucking clean. Good work!

a. Can you tuck that back wheel in a bit

b. Instagram has a level photo function

c. When does the new frame land?

d. If still looking for seatposts, Nitto SP72 come in 26.8

@TM
a.No
b.No
c.No
d.No

@TM (non Dick-ish answers)
a. il try taking a link out and see what happens
b. i was shitfaced
c. no new frame now
d. i need bare layback and length and only Thomson can adequately provide

I would love a 47T Sugino Ring if anyone has one....?

Your a length

Are your 75s black or silver?

@TM
*You're

75's are silver with old (best) logo

26.8mm jap seatpost? Maybe too short?

Cheers @BigH - i got all excited at the Easton NJS then realised it was 27.2 :(

Yeah the 600 would be too short as I've got a lot of post showing!

Thanks anyway man!

Anyone with an Easton NJS in 26.8......?!

The Nitto S65 comes in 26.8 and 300mm, plenty of them about. If you're looking for a black one though, I've only seen those in 27.2.

Ah thought so!
