Colour choice reminds me of...

Such memories of FixieJayBee.

That Pana... sad story...

Got the frameset with seatpost and wheelset with cog/tires for few moneys, so
will try this out.

Young and naive.

Think I was still 18! Anyway, they were the only jeans loose enough for me to ride in.

new stem/bars and saddle
I do miss the integralters but an extra 20mm feels way better

That's a beauty.
Great setting/shot too.

That looks great! And who doesn't like a Dik Race :)

I just don't like seeing people told they cant tour or whatever just because it isn't an optimum setup.

That's something you and I can most definitely agree with.

Sunflower saddle ornament is cool.

Would bang.

an extra 20mm feels way better

That's what she said

Borrowed @Miitch 's fake disc for my Neil for a bit of fun. Much aero

Started building up the ex pro Otero frame set. (Sorry for crappy iPhone pics)

I am using mostly Campagnolo Mirage.

The build is coming along. Will be mostly used for commuting.

Built this up a couple of days ago. Quick set up spin suggests all is well with the world... Hoping this weekend will give me a weather window to get in a longer ride or two on my local roads in t'dales.

Build:
Kinesis Aithein, ano black, 56cm
SRAM Force 22 groupset
Chinese crabon wheelset
Fizik finishing kit

Bar drop feels about right and is the same as my fixed winter bike, so will hopefully feel confident to chop the steerer soon. No major upgrades planned. Will get some Ti axles for the Speedplays and another king cage. Other than that, it'll just get ridden until stuff starts wearing out.

So nice

Thanks, really happy with how the build turned out. Had a tight budget to work to, but there's very little I'd change, even with more cash. Time to get some miles in.

Will be very nice!
