  • Yes, brake, Amey (unless you are just pushing it to your nearest purveyor of fine coffee). Failing that, just buy your favourite dentist a new Cervelo, it'll happen soon enough....

  • Cervelo

    We are dangerously close.

  • So. Much. Purple

  • Looks good; purple hubs and silver everything else if it were mine. Or all black everything.

    Omnoms for cranks.

  • I've decided to go silver for finishing kit mainly because Ritchey neo classics are twice the price in black!

    Most likely S75 for now and keep an eye out for DDs.

    I also think its critical point in this thread to start discussing bottle cages, gear ratio, bar end plug etc. What would prolly do?

  • Amey I have a Ritchey stem kicking about you can have if you wants. I'm away for the week but can send a photo when I get home.

  • Zipp Beyond Black finishing
    Purple Hope headset AND purple BB (tumblr macro detail shots)
    everything else black

  • What length?

    Looking at geo and handlebar reach I suspect I'll need 120mm.

  • BB wont be external .. at least for now but when I get DDs yeah seems like a nice idea.

    Zipp kit is nice .. but pricey. I already have black finishing kit to mock up and see.

    Saddle is black so will the tape.

  • Hey, no idea, came off an old bike I bought and it was too long for me. I'll check when I get home later this week. :)

  • where from?

    i remember bike24 or rose or one of the other zjermans have them at round 65 euros in black.

    if that means you found silver ones for half that ild like to know where from.

    tbh, i think a black/silver mix works well and classic if done trhoughout; black rims/silver spokes, black stem/silver handlebars, black hoods/silver levers, black saddle/silver seatpost etc.

    might not work with a black frame though..
    black frame screams muuuuuurder

  • Ha! fair .. I am going to give it a go mainly due to it being cheap ;)

    Handlebars: http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=104813;menu=1000,4,133,31
    Ignore the diagram, they are classic bend with 73mm reach and 128mm drop.

  • @amey I'll be parting out my Graham Weigh shortly - could be persuaded to do it earlier. Current bar stem combo is all silver Ritchey classic stuff. Stem is 110 old style faceplate design. Bars are 42cm. What about a bargain DA crankset with a grey 49t DA chainring?

  • bruh! yes, PM.

  • Just get DDs or Omniums and go external so you can purple BB instead of purple clamp.
    That Hope clamp has too many chamfered edges.

  • Defo staying away from omnoms and I can't find Silver DDs in the UK with exception of velodrome shop which I want to avoid.

  • found them previously indeed. but theyre not the neo classics ones with the extended "ends" of the drops right?

    im swaying to them precisely because of this feature.
    and the compact drop.

    classic:

    neo classic:

  • actually. they do look similar.. ritchey website also has the neo-classic spec at the classic handlebars..

    http://ritcheylogic.com/classic

    quite confusing

  • This year's version is same as neo-classic. Ask @Sumo .. he has them on his Vig.

  • @amey

    I haz sugino 75s and a Phil Wood ti BB you could take off my hands

  • wait what!? Since when do you fixie?

  • Since when do you fixie?

    Since before it was cool.

  • Someone needs to make a vine of that guy saying "I ride fixed,
    Semi-pro"

  • cool! i reckon me gets them silver ones then.. :)

  • @Sumo 's vig looks sick
