Ooh ohh

I now have [...] Hy-Rd spare

Interesting. Have a figure in mind if selling?

I get paid next week! Will be buying a rlt 9 in black and red to replace the caad10!

Need some bottle cage bolts as new frame didnt come with any, found these on eBay, anything better? @mdcc_tester ?

Torx all the things, and you can get stainless for less than that from your local fastener shop. 10.9 is overkill for the load conditions, and looks crap the first time it gets wet.

Low load conditions, so why do I need torx? These then?

EDIT: these are only 6p (sure therell be postage on top) and aren't security torx, are they tester approved?

Ideally I would love the macho king, but it's too much £££ when the rlt9 niner is such a bargain and does the exact same.

fo' sho'. Amazing framesets

are they tester approved?

Accu Group are #tester_approved but the postage will kill you on small orders. Just go and see your local man in a dun coat. #forkhandles

New bike is built. I've only ridden it wearing work clothes and flat shoes so far, and then it started raining, so I'll see what it's really like at the weekend. Saddle angle and seatpost height need a tweak, and I'm sure other bits will too.

It looks like quite a lot of other bikes on the internet, but this one's mine, so I like it a lot.

Nice head tube

Just put a new 4700 groupset on a 90s steel frame and the braze on is too high for a compact crankset. I'm running 50/34 and the front derailleur is as low as it can go. On the big ring it seems ok but inner ring the chain rubs on derailleur.

Anyone ever filed down a braze on mount a few mm or managed to fit a clamp underneath braze on?

You the Indra of the forum?

Just bad at keeping things in one piece.
Its such a fun little bike. Had an on-call shift Thursday so rode in then, rode home tonight.
Gear ratio is perfect.

Additionally, around town you may see me on this:
Its also a boat load of fun.

Is that a mash work frame?

@tommmmmmmc looks great, let's go for a ride

If I ever need beer and pizza you're our fourm's urber!

This is definitely the year where the fixie craze is coming back!

Yeah. Its really fucking good.
Different rack needed, but otherwise great.

Ready for Swain's Lane tomorrow. Clamp on was a right pain to fit because of the air blades. Pretty much bodged it, no brake cable spare so i've used a gear one instead.. Ended up putting the trispoke on the front as it is a tiny bit lighter then the mack and also has a faster tyre. Stripped flite and 20t on the rear, all good to go.

What rack is that? Got the same bike, it's great fun. :-)

Modified basil front porteur. It doesn't always feel sturdy enough...

Id be careful of using a gear cable instead of a brake cable. Theyre much thinner and not designed for the high tensions of braking, I wouldnt want to risk it especially on Swains
