'Period Incorrect' HHSTTB Lo-Pro

Thats a shame, you got any photos? would be interested to see it still!

I assure you its beautiful pearly white, indoor lights and cheap digi cam dont do it justice. In natural sunlight its something special!

Aaaaahhh

There you go. Sorry for crappy pic, I only have a phone camera. Currently saving up to get a proper wheel set for it

^ splendid

detail shot of seat lug plz

Very nice!

In other news seatpost dramas now solved, ordered a Shimano SP-R600 from fleabay. Looks pretty smooth and should fit nicely I hope.

^good shout. it could be something for the gazelle to go all black contact points.

frame looks the biz btw. if you ever sell it, im calling first dibsies!

thanks again for claud. dont ride him enough but is a nice beater build with 30mm cross tyres. shame we didnt have real snow this winter..

bte with all the black, wouldnt a black rear triangle work? like that black pink roberts from i think @tomsvoboda..

Thank you, seatpost is in germany so hopefully the seller will post soon as im picking up the frame this week. So excite.
Your welcome, happy it went to a good home :-)

Fuck customs/parcelfore though for a £60quid charge on the 870. Gonna have to make a big fuss on the appeals form.

Yo @BigH you've got a PM.

Been thinking about investing in some cranks recently and have a few options -

1. Sugino 75 Black + Zen or Fiberlyte/MQuadro Aero

2. M2 - Mquadro Gunmetal or Black Anodized crankset with custom aero chainring

3. Sugino 75 DD black + fiberlyte chainring

4. Sugino 75 DD black + MQuadro aero chainring

Im not sure how good the MQuadro cranks would be but they must be decent enough and price wise they could work out to be the cheapest choice for full aero set. I already have a set of sugino 75's on the Umezawa so not keen on option 1 really. Im also very tempted to buy a 75dd set, sell the Zen an invest in a fiberlyte ring or black anodized Mquadro. Opinions anyone?

Mmmm...

Not sure if M2 could make an aero ring for their crankset, as the ring being flat it woldn't follow the curves of the spider arms (knowing they can't shape their rings), leaving a big gap.
Best option could be asking them to do a "sugino aerotrack" inspired crank.

@breso Gonna ping them an email and talk business. I would be interested in gettin a CHCD style something if possible. Doesnt look too bad on these dura ace though?

Fyber-lyte?

Looks like a full aero 1/8" track ring is a shade over £100 and they do them for Dura Ace Track Cranks

M2 just have a CNC machine, they don't do fibers :(
For sure you can stick an adhesive but not sure how good it'll be.

These M2 are hot...

@breso Sorry, could have phrased my last comment a bit better but basically trying to say it can look alright even if the chainring/crank spiders dont follow the curve with each other like your record version. It was one of the only examples of aero to the large gap /curve that looked alright online.

This would be the look im aiming for but in black and less tacky without the logos.

That's perfect then! :)
And it doesn't look so wrong after all, polished and anodised will look ace.

Bigger, blacker and without the njs logos etc. will make it look noice.

@HCC & @breso Might have just bought some mad crazy crankset but will keep it secret for now..

Finally got the frame back from Mario & Winston Vaz and heres some photos of the work -

Very nice.

You always have something special going on! I'm looking forward to seeing this in person.

Beautiful! Can't wait for updates on cranks
