ergo grips are truth.
lovce this bike.

I'm planning on updating my Dolan tarck (probably just paint) but I'm wondering how possible it is to tidy up the welds.

By buying a new frame.

Super rad. Tilt your bars up though. Oh... D:

Ahaha I actually have a Genesis cdf, but I don't really enjoy riding it

@BlesUp Thanks man, it rides great; far less flexy than the Dave

The last few days were pretty rainy in Paris so I took the time to re-build my cyclocross as a commuter. I still need to get some vittoria randonneur and a wider bar.
The GTB is also pretty much finished. I would like a pink chris king headset but it will wait.

Love that fork so much

You can use automotive filler to smooth over the welds but it kinda depends how fat they are.

;)

Ergon grips forevermore. I wouldn't be concerned they're a bit ugly. Comfort rules.

Nice! Planning on glittering up the text on this frame I've Spray.bike painted. Are you gonna clear coat it?

Should I use the vice and a hammer?

Took the Vagabond out on it's first proper ride this weekend. Cheap parts bin build but I think it turned out quite alright. It's not the prettiest bike I own but its alot of fun. Cant wait to load it up and go offroad touring.

Nice AIMONS seatpost!

saw this and couldn't help it for the stratocaster

Yes fam. I luv it

A stem more like this and clip less pedals would be my recommendation.

@scottparsley also very nice Genesis you got there..

Looks great, would flip stem and lose spacers tho.

Yeah, the next step is a clear coat when the wind and rain subside.

Excuse the shitty mobile pic.

Thanks guys. Spacers will probably go in the future but I'm still deciding on fit. I'll prob also need to change the chainset, gearing was ok (39 and 11-36) without bagage but will be a bit too much with. Thinking Sram GX...

Or get a Shimano 11-40 cassette?

If it's 10 speed. Aftermarket 11-40 will do

Yeah I was thinking about that. But it's 10 speed so AM if so. Also, rear der only goes to 36t (guessing it should work anyway). The cassettes I've seen have been quite expensive though. Also, changing the chainset would mean I could ditch my getto chain keeper...

Is this repairable? Would like to try and keep the saddle, it's a fizik kurve.

looks fucked - is it still under warranty?

Nope. Brought it from a guy on here knowing it was cracked but not to this extent. Though I have used it for 2 months so that may have added some wear.

Wanna try and repair before I chuck it
