Whatever my current projects are.

That is absolutely lovely

Thanks for the kind words.
I like the harsh grips, especially with the custom coloured hubs. Planning to either change the saddle or recover it - its worn a bit anyway.

Ordered a Kashimax Aero. I'll have to recover it tho, thinking about dark grey leather.

Stunning! Good work

great job. love the paint.
nice details.

@haveo @vaverak Thanks guys!

Weather is cr@p eversince I've assembled the bike, it's driving me crazy that i cant take her for even a testride.

Finally had a test ride - butter smooth!
Also Kashimax is here, stripped it, now only need to recover it. Also hopefully I can get my hands on a pair of Engine 11 straps, then I'll call it finished.

In the meantime I bought a LYTRO. Neat lil' thing I gotta say.

tasty. That downtube is pretty crazy.

The bike might be up for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

Edit: no way. I'll rather sell my macbook.

Edit2: Welp, there was a cinelli laser pursuit frame (the fork built-in handlebar clamp version) for sale for less than a thousand quid. Obviously sold in an hour.

@1993, @HHC cheers!

Recovering the saddle is trickier than i thought - the shape wont help either.

link to the laser?

It was in the local (hunagrian) FB group. From the pictures it seemed it was the "russian stash" frame https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/229440/

And finally some quality pics.

Looks amazing!

@vp1337
Thanks!

In the meantime I've realized I need a beater as I'm way too worried about the Duell.

So the next project is on, bought a Colossi Cheekko with carrera carbon forks, gonna equip it with my spare parts.

The Duell is fantastic

"Painted" the fork with lacquer marker, really did not like the green decal.
Also ordered novatec hubs. Goal is to stay under £380.

Gotta find another rim, stem and handlebar, pedals and seatpost. Also planning front brake and a basket/rack, but probably getting these only in April as I am out of budget.

Stem and seatpost in.

Today's loot.

Current build with temporary front wheel.
Turns out the front rack i bought wont fit the bolt on novatec hub.
Also ended up with a miche rear.

I find it way too black by the way, thinking of a way to add some colours. More stickers? Spary can?

This is incredible. May I ask, where did you get the coloured dura ace hub? Regards

If you want less black maybe get some silver components to balance it out? Silver post and maybe chainring? Colourful stickers would be good

What rack have you got?

@PHRESHSLAYTE
Thanks! I bought it as a used full front wheel laced with Araya Red from japan through eBay. I had luck, the whole stuff cost less than $100.

@haveo
Yep, I've been thinking about silver components, but really don't wanna spend on it, so trying to swap it at first place. Plan B is get some trisodium phosphate and remove the anodised paint.
The rack is some noname stuff, looks like an Altran Velo Jumbo knock off, only with thinner tubes in diameter.

@1993
Cheers!

where did you get the rack from? looks good

From the local FB group. Tried to ask the seller about the origin, but he told me he buys them from another guy.
