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

May as well strip the white paint off at the same time and make it look 100% like every single other Ti bike out there.

exactly, saddle colour doesn't matter as soon as your ass is on it, but have fun with the bar tape and the bottles!

Thanks to @Justin_Case - new addition Kent Eriksen Sweetpost:

Looking forward to seeing how this rides!

The Ti stem and seat post tie in awesomely together!

Looks amazing!

FWIW, the grey bartape looks lovely.

That is spot on! The seatpost ties it all in together and it looks rad! Well done

fantastic, but http://pages.rapha.cc/uncategorised/bartape#

That looks so good.

Please don't put that seat pack back on. Needs something understated, although I do like the flash of colour from the bottle.

Milan San Remo today- everyone has to change to white bar tape on their nice bike

@Mechamorgan cheers buddy, still got your R7 on the De rosa, how is your back and flexibility now?

@bmx_fred, quite like the black tape actually, where do you buy this from? Assume Rapha cycle club is a poncey name for the rapha shop in town?

Didn't get out on this this weekend which was absolutely criminal as today was a blinder. Blame that one on the 6 Nations - will get better pics soon. Here's one from Brighton a few weeks back:

Wonderful ride out in the Sussex lanes this morning. I had proper spaghetti legs after 2 weeks off the bike due to moving from London back down sarrrfff.

An hour an half in all was well, the Serotta just keeps giving! Seriously great climber, just wish my fitness could match.

First long ride out with the Kent Eriksen Ti post too, the inline helped with the issues I was having in my left wrist.

No garmin, strava or HR, just a great jaunt at 50kms. Heres a few pics:

Oh and Fluro for the win!!

Schweeet! Any idea of the overall weight of this lovely steed?

Just under 9kgs, judging by me scales:

^ was never a weight weenie build at all, so I'm pretty pleased with that - it is bloody light (in my book anyway)

So...this is now happening;

Kepler galatic is relevent to my interests. sub'd

Haha!

All parts are ordered. Featuring Chris King R45's, Hope and Sram ;P

was thinking about ordering one of those, got the discount email a couple days ago. they look ace!

Was close to building up a Kepler myself.
Looking forward to to this.

@JT Same, the £80 saving pushed me over the edge. Was tinkering with the idea pre-launch.

This will be the quickest build I've done, doing London-Paris in 24hrs on the 28th so like to use this for the pleasure of it over the Serotta.

Bit of a win today, Condor had TRP CX8.4's in black on sale for £70. Purchased immediately.

Frame will hopefully be with me next week. Going to be running 28c Paselas on this. Not sure about the puncture reliability?!

If anyone has done London-Newhaven and has a decent route please let me know.....

......pictures to follow.

.

@youramericanlover and myself did L2B, had food in Brighton and then rode along the coast, which worked fine

Never had any problems with any size of pasela. Would be interested to know how to TRPs are, I've got paul neo-cantis and find them pretty underpowered.

@branwen, sounds ideal. Do you have route map/file?

I'll try and dig them out..
