New extra functional cockpit:

any recommendations as to how to make the brakes work better? I topped the fluid up and 'burped' them. they just don't seem to be that powerful... clean the pads maybe?

Does this mean you can cycle again?

Sort of, still a bit uncomfortable.

Is the SystemSix alive?

Currently sitting behind me attached to a turbo. Which I don't particularly enjoy.

Functional and rad at the same time not an easy combo to achieve! Looks great, what are the bars?

Humpet climber bars, from SJS

Glad to hear it, one step closer.

Sweet only a fiver! Was looking at the On One Fleegles but these look like a nicer shape

almost finished the free-cycle, just await a longer stem

seat post is actually a spec sprung one,easy on the aristotle !

New build to replace my fast roadie which was stolen when my shed got burgled. Insurance paid out so all is well.

Cinelli frame less than half RRP from eBay, 27x30mm crabonz from Carbonzone. Athena 11 seemed a bargain at Ribble. Everything else was new clearance stuff

Have you recently changed from organic to sintered pads? I heard the organics leave a goop behind that takes a while to wear off..

My new work horse to commute around London Town:

do u even beater bro?

Brute/cute

I'm sure those tyres are very useful on the gravel roads in Beckton.

Riding with my speedplay track pedals atm, which isn't really good for the long term and will be getting some shimano spd or look s-track to cope with the London town constant stop and go.

The plan is to tinker to this a little bit (as I usually do) and convert this into a fixed asap (well when I get paid next tbh) and swap some different tyres on as I don't really like these clements 33 that came with the bike (maybe marathon plus or hardshell 32mm)

Also a longer stem (110 or 120) and change saddle.

But atm the moment I'm pretty happy about this little joy ride that I commute in, which has brought a smile back to my face!
