Glad they arrived safely and are being put to good use.

whats wrong with 27.2?

expensive droppers

Getting there... did a quick spin round the village to check nothing fell off last night and just about to go out for a more 'proper' shakedown ride now. Bartape will be lizardskins black, and excuse the ugly headset spacers, they came with the frame and I haven't got any black ones lying around (although I was also considered anodised red :-) )

@swedeee what do you mean with

but can't justify the price with a 27.2mm post

expensive droppers

Looks good! Feel like that would work well with 1x11

expensive droppers

Aha, that. Who needs droppers anyway? I bought this frame because I wanted a hardtail. :-)

I got a Ritchey P Team frame offered but the deal didn't go through (which I regretted as I liked the frame). Couple of days later I saw they were on sale at Wiggle so I ordered one per direct (paid 600 euro for the frame and that seemed a fair price to me).

Saw the plastic logo on uk eBay.

Item no. 121810141795

Should go for cheap...

starting a new "clean up project" tomorrow:

Pearson Touché winter bike all finished. 48x19 and A119 wheelset *emphasized text*shod with 27c Pave, so comfy at 70psi.

nice tape/tape/pack co-ordination

Lovely! Needs a compass rear mudflap to go über.

And the front mudguard ideally a bit more Rando Theo. Not that you had a drivetrain to protect, just for aesthetics to make it perfect.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna get another SKS long flap for the rear at some point. Fancy a Big X Top random bag at some point, and I've been looking at dynamo hubs far too much recently.

@6pt any colour coordination is purely coincidental, combined with the green keeps it nicely in the 'winter bike anti' category as @ewanmac described it.

where is this place?

A mythical realm, known to men as 'Platform 8 of Reading Station'

My condolences

That red wobbly rear mudflap is much more epic then SKS and would look brilliant in orange on your bike?

@edscoble possibly does not know exactly what it is and how to make it.

I sadly can't get a proper rear mudguard because of regular bikebox travel and fiddling.

Probably one of these... http://www.rainydaybiking.com/Bicycle-Mud-Flaps-s/1817.htm, quite easy to DIY though...

Have you considered rinko mudguards if you're travelling a lot?

Now you got me. Probably always blinked that topic out because of secret raceblade weight weenie.

Generally not enough rain inc. two years Wales up and down as well. But cheers, now I know what to do if it really starts raining.

Surprisingly un-anti actually! Road grime should dull that silver chain ring in no time too.

Current daily. Umming and arring about changing 170 cranks to 165 for use with cages. However toe overlap will be present with both so might keep as is :)
