*Matt* Builds ~ Serotta Legend Ti // All City Mr Pink // Bob Jackson 631

Gumwalls look good. Which tyres are they?

Should be epic when its done.

The white stuff really does get filthy though. And yellows a bit.

Thanks matey, they are Vittoria Open Corsa, going to swap them out for GP4000's.

Plumped for Grey Zipp service course CX tape - I've got this on my De Rosa and find it pretty comfy.

Thought the grey would match the exposed Ti and Stem if it look shit will replace!

Nothing but praise for fizik performance

Apologies for thread hi-jack, but any tips for wrapping this stuff? I can't for the life of me get it neat.

Brute force was required to stretch it each turn I guess. It is pretty thick. No magic tricks though, try and try again mate :-)

^^^^ Grey Zipp tape could be ideal

@howard second brute force with each turn, was the first tape I ever wrapped and after wrapping hokey sticks for years I just did it with force without even thinking about it, don't need to worry too much on the curves but around the shifters is where you really need to pull on it

Spent an hour tugging at the tape last night. Bloody awful. You really have to give it some don't you?!

filth

It was worse before I edited it. Thread ruined, my work here is done etc.

haha, classic euphs.

Howard, carry on. Might need a hand on the reach-around tug for the levers.

Boom! New tool roll courtesy of Mack Workshops:

Have dropped the 'Rotta off at LMNH for the build, hopefully will collect Tuesday!

Oh! Literally ordered one of those tool rolls 30 mins ago. Is that the larger version? Looks good. Jon was a nice guy to deal with.

@Bezzin - yep, its the larger tool bag. Took just over a week from order to delivery!

Boom!

Massive thanks to Nik & Sam for getting this together!

Only been round the block for a few km's but the Ti really seems to soak up the road, much more forgiving than Alu. the purr from the R45 is awesome!

That there is a very pretty bike!!
I agree, ti soaks up the road way better than ti :)

Ah. fuck. tired eyes! You still have the otrott?

Tasty.

Think I may go black on the bar tape...whatcha reckon?

Yep do it.

Very nice

Awesome build! Looking very good indeed!

Nice very nice , agree with the black bar tape
Ti seat post to match the stem would look lovely too
