This'll do for now.
Objectively speaking the stickers are a bastard to put on. Quite thick plastic so difficult to get all the bubbles out. Also have some imperfections around the edges so don't sit perfectly.
In retrospect I should've had fatcreations sort it but hey, there's always next year :)
Can't wait to get it built, missed it!

Haha nice one :) How's the v3 riding then? Slightly regret not picking it up ;)

Me too 😞

looks awesome :~)

Mmm. Rotors or S75 DD's? 1st world problems..

Sugino

Sugino

Ja agreed. Just need to check the clearance as their Q factor is so narrow they've caused problems on almost all my frames.
The seatpost is slipping like mad on the Argos no matter what I do so this may be the daily ride until a new 953, removable seatclamp, seat tube is installed.

The wheelset. Re-laced Chubs with CX Rays onto DCR 25c brake-less rims. Stronger and lighter than most in their category. New rear Ti bolts and caps and spacers. Trusty Panaracer Ribmo upfront. One of many battered tyres on the rear.

This is begging for Sugino!

The seat posts on both my Roberts are slipping like mad as well. Tried everything including climbers chalk yet nothing seems to help.
I put a small dot of permanent marker on the seapost of my road bike to track its movement and when I came home from a ride, the dot had disappeared into the seat tube - so frustrating!

Built. Looks pretty damn good in my heavily biased and subjective opinion :) maiden cycle to work tomorrow and some pics too... T

'New' bike day and wide bar Wednesday. Photos don't do it justice. I always forget how nice this bike is to ride!

Photo please.

Don't be shy now...

We waaaaaitiiiiing!!!

You did this with the 3renscho. Stop it you big tease.

Hopefully this time.
Will get better ones once I'm not work rushed. T

Excellent. The pink CK is definitely a nice touch

Good job mate! What are those lights? look proper

Cheers folks, really pleased with it. Probably going to shorten the bars and get a pink CK Threadfit BB. They're without a doubt exponentially better than the stock s75 DD BB's.
The light is and Exposure Diable Mk7. Beautiful UK build and bright enough for almost anything. T

Lush!

Do pink hubs too.

looks so good with the ck!

So, so good! I wouldn't change a single thing on that build.

I've got the Axis light by Exposure and it's seriously good as a commuting light. On the flash mode it works for 72 hours!

On a side note, does anyone know if Sugino DD cranks and a Chris King bottom bracket would be compatible?
