Yeah they are built into drop out .. using generic QR.

Thanks... while I'm here, shootmorefilm took a lovely pic of my stem and new headset yesterday :) No idea how he made it look so shiny! Headset is just a Stronglight sealed bearing jobbie, with the logos wiped off with nail varnish remover. Great cheap alternative to Chris King? Time will tell...

This Headset is very good got one but not as shiny ! hevyer than CK by the way...

I polished some parts yesterday (using a product called Sidol and a Dremel) and the result is comparible. Think if I repeat it a couple of times, it wil shine even more:

Finally built up my Van Tuyl frame:

Pedalroom

@Dry's Langdale served as something of an inspiration.

Really happy with how it turned out. Few odds and ends to fix, but isn't that any new build!

Not fan of the Kalloy SP but>>>>> Pron !

really great!!!

Wheeey, amey does fixie again. What gear?

Ha, I was looking at the pictures thinking "that looks great, reminds me of my Langdale"

Looks nice n' shiny. Shame you forgot to slam that headset.

Good to see how my Rychtarski will look like soon.

That, is fucking good. I normally hate wheels with logos but for some reason I like these!

Thanks guys.

Yeah, it's cheap and probably not a very good seatpost. But for some reason I really like it in combination with a Flite and I think it suits the esthetics of a quill stem.

What are some nice black anodized seatposts? Nitto S65 comes to mind.

Awesome build Tijs, so clean.

Some Columbus MAX frame and fork decals would be a nice touch I think.

Marktplaats has them. Although the ad says SLX but I think that's probably a mistake.

But for some reason I really like it

Ignore the haters, it's a good post. It holds your saddle at the height and angle you want, what more do you demand of a seatpost?

I'd get them from ebay, Greg Softley's are great quality.

I think Tijs his bike would have looked a lot different had he not considered the visual impact of the parts. It's not really a functionalist's dream bike (nor is 99% of the other bikes on here). A small critique for using a cheapish looking seatpost is fair game.

I'd hate to see this place filled with 105 Cubes.

@Carabo: Thanks for the tip!

What are some nice black painted seatposts

Nitto Jaguar NJ-SP72 Seatpost...

what more do you demand of a seatpost?

Featherweight?

Tester's favourite, the bendy Thomson.

I actually have one of those, but it's seized in the frame it's on. Might be a sign/karma.
