C.Bs Replacement Bike

  • For those of who ever rode with me in my forum hay-day (2011 mainly) you will know I rode a dark green lee cooper with pursuit bars (see attached). I moved to NYC and spent 4 years bashing it around that city instead. The very night before I was due to ship it with the rest of my stuff back to the UK (where I now live again) it was stolen from my locked garage. Now I am fixed-less. The silver lining here is insurance money and therefore a new project.

    I have ridden steel for a long time and feel it is time for a change. So here is what I am thinking... may the critique begin.

    F+F: Look AL 464
    Wheels: Silver Low Flange Phil Wood laced to DT Swiss 511 (DB version on rear)
    Crank: Dura Ace
    Stem: Zipp Sprint
    Bar: Profile Pro Svet V (w/ interchangeable track bar)
    Seat Post: Fizik Carbon Jobby (RL 0 or something)
    Saddle: Fizik Arione
    Front Brake: Dura Ace
    Lever: TRP RL970
    Pedals: Look

    The rest is dull or generic/don't care about opinions

    Key Questions:
    Will silver hubs and cranks look stupid with black stem and seatpost?
    Are massive over-size sprint stems for wankers?

  • cool project

  • Finished build. Diverted away from the Look as I couldn't get one until April. That seemed like a big deal in January.

    TT/Road set-up here. Will have track bar for riding in circles.
