  • Damn! That paint looks immaculate too; looks in perfect shape. What are the plans?

  • Anyone got any experience with kg56 frames?

    One has popped up in my size at a good price locally and am thinking of picking it up to replace my fairly tired, fairly boring trek madone 2.1 frame

  • Paint is pretty good, but not immaculate, minor stuff, apart from some bodge around the seat post lug, which I may get looked at, but not fussed for now. Overall fairly pleased with it, following a quick scrub up.

    It's got the expanding wedge for the seatpost, but with some Phillips head bolt, but these are just standard M5 things, a bottle cage bolt is right pitch, maybe not long enough, need to wait until a seatpost turns up to make sure.

    As for build plans, well, I'm going to copy @roboto bolt for bolt ;)

    Not really, but that would certainly be no bad thing, although I'm starting with Veloce black groupset since my other bike is Campag 10spd, so I can swap wheels around. Bit of Thomson (still ok here in Derby), bit of Zipp blast black. Wheels..I definitely can't afford DEEP CRABONZ....

  • Whereabouts in Derby are you? That's my home town!

    Here's some inspiration from today ;)

  • Goddamnit, much to my surprise, seat tube is far too slack for me!

    72.5 is useful as it fit quite a lots of people, and would need inline, (57 feel like 56).

  • That's just perfect! Those crabonz are so good. I'd reckon you must be pretty happy with it.

  • So good! Won't achieve stem slam though, dicky back and all that.

    I'm hailing out of Allestree since children arrived, nice and peaceful! Good access for Peaks.

  • Thanks. The crabonz were the final piece of the jigsaw in its current form.

    I haven't ridden it too much since I rode around Japan on it though, which is a shame, but it's nice to know when I get some free time to ride and the sun is shining I can just get on this and smile the whole ride.

  • A little bit of stretching will achieve stem slammage godliness.

    Allestree is nice, I grew up around Chester Green, but all my family have moved out of Derby now so I rarely go back. I do want to ride the new velodrome though.

  • I used to elegantly boss right midfield on the pitches of Chester Green and now I cycle through with my lad on the way to town.

    Did the velodrome for first time a few weeks back, great venue, I just hope Derby can sustain it and utilise it properly.

    Shame. There's more on there. I can't believe a store still has this NOS for £700 including delivery to the UK (Size L).

  • I can't believe a store still has this NOS for £700

    That's a current model (AC364P), Bike24 has them for €750

  • Ah, yup, I wasn't looking at the years. Still, there's others from 2006, 2007 and 2009 in various sizes.

  • Looks more like a cheap Chinese hylix tri spoke:

  • Check the moulding around the valve stem and see if you still think that.

  • ...cheap Chinese...

    In the circumstances, it doesn't seem very likely does it?

  • This KG231 has dropped like a stone from its over enthusiastic original price. A decent offer may be well received?

  • good point, however the bend in the "spokes" on that AC wheel doesn't look like HED or FFWD either..

  • Look is releasing a new carbon track frame for 2016 season, less integrated parts, less pricy (sorry for the crap picture but their photoshop mock up is not much better):

  • Oh my!

  • will they make sizes bigger than m?

  • My AL264:

    Finally get to join this thread of fine looking Looks.

  • Very good. Is that a Flite saddle? Think I would like something similar for mine.

  • Small homecoming for '221.
