Thats cool. How did you paint it?

Any pics of the rack without the bag? Interesting handlebar mount

It's a textured finishing product made for lining the flat beds of pickup trucks.
It's been shaded with a RAL direct gloss and then applied with an industry standard HVLP gun. product recipe and gun pressure etc are all major factors in the finish.

The orange was added afterwards with a secret recipe product blend.

I actually don't have a pic of the rack but it's from here - http://tubicycle.com.ua/en/bike_racks/model-1/

What wheels are those? I yhave these for sale atm(photo hasnt loaded, will update later but theyre Suzue promax to rigidas)

They're v-sprint "track racing wheels" with shit front lacing. Cost me £150

Another project closer to completion. Merckx frame with black rattlecan job, 1" 130mm Aggressor stem, silver Rival group (sans cranks, unfortunately) and A319's laced to Ultegra 6500's.
Not sure if I should find a decent silver post or put on the nice Ritchey carbon one I already have. Cranks are also undecided.

Finally got around to transferring groupset over from my old bike. Needs new cables, shorter brake bolt and FD hanger. Off to the bike shop...

I actually like it with black wheels. I don't mind radial lacing that much either, no one seems to complain about Ellipses. I thought they were debadged Miche Pistards at first. Lovely frame too, as I think I've said before.

Thanks man. Yeah for now I'm gonna just shut up and ride it. I looked at the forecast this morning, stuck a rain cape in a hip pouch and rode up to Lee valley for some mixed terrain fun.

That's lovely! Would love something like that to match my Donohue 853 track bike.

I have a 27.2 silver old school ritchey for sells if you want it cheap?

Sounds interesting, but I'm in Denmark and shipping will probably make it unrealistic pricewise. Pics/price?

If JesperXT isn't interested I may be.

I was gonna say a tenner posted but postage to denmark is gonna be too much tbh!

nice Donohue ! Is this bartape mounted wrong way round ?

Thanks! No, don't think so, standard wrap with figure of 8 around the hoods...

Great build, Vitesse stem?

Yep, gave up looking for 1" silver -17!

Pedal ID?

Pedal ID?

Super Record, but is that a crack at the pedal eye in the drive side crank? It's in the right place, where they usually crack.
