Affinity Lo-Pro

New saddle has arrived for the Bridgestone:

Weenie weight project?

I need to work on the pilot first before looking at lowering the weight of parts...

This was an eBay purchase - the colourscheme is not to everyone's taste to the price was reasonable (£45 all in). I was surprised how light it felt so I chucked it on the scale for the photo.

I didn't buy it for the weight, just for the colour

Fitted a colour coded FSA SL-K finishing kit (thank you @chiefspinninggear) as well as the Fizik Arione R3 saddle. Also removed the lime green FSA spacers in favour of 1" carbon ones.

Here is what the bike looks like now.

It now needs a black 1" threadless headset for colour coding. Like a Tange or Dia Compe.
Also needs a 1" to 1"1/8 stem shim in black (forks are 1") to replace the silver one that can be seen through the stem...

Here is what the bike looks like now.

Photo Galore!

Pedals ruins this build imo. Platforms have no place on this.

Maybe a black Tange would look better than silver and tie the frontend together. #itsonlyabikemate

Bore off. Haven't you got a shit mtb conversion to build? Bike is rad.

I would look sleeker with SPDs but I use the bike casually so I don't want to be forced to wear cycling shoes.

Here is the headset that I like (TANGE SEIKI HEADSET RDC-12).

Why not CK for bling?

How about some Mks rx-1 with black toeclips?

Also needs a 1" to 1"1/8 stem shim in black (forks are 1") to replace the silver one that can be seen through the stem...

Just sharpie it. That and the steerer.

Photo update since Photobucket doesn't allow third party sharing...

Here is what it looks like at the moment

I have just purchased a new carbon track frame so I will be starting a new thread when it actually arrives.

So are you going to shift this?

I just bought a 2017 Parlee Pista Z1 track frame so I will start a new thread for it.

This will probably be sent back to France and feature on the wall of unused bike with my Pinkarello Pista & Condor x Richard James...

Unless someone is desperate to have it and throws money at me...

How tall are you? If you're around 5'8 could I just, like, borrow it for the rest of the summer?

PS that Parlee looks extremely fun

You can borrow it if you don't crash it but the frame will be too big for you.

I am 5ft10.5 so you would need to slam the seatpost and get an 80mm stem which would look odd

How much would the frame sell for? Hypothetically speaking

I usually sell my used stuff for 50% off the best online new price.

But for this one, probably 1/3...

How much is that?

I was mostly joking but that's really nice of you! Yeah this is way too big for me. GLWS/GLWWUBs

That image cuts me real deep @PhilDAS
