I have updated my touring bike for some fast rando.

Now that's what my bike should look like! I'm copying that look.

disappointed .. I thought you'd copy one of mine

Rad. Those the 30c Challenge?

Thx. 36c yup

I'm taking inspiration from you for my son's first bike. Your genius will live on through him.

Slapped a TT setup on the Pursuit Champion - stem needs lowering and possibly lengthening. Feels fast.

Stuck some training wheels on for now. Thinking is to shift the original HHSB wheelsets to fund a HED 3 or Jet+.

Lucky enough to have a stack of spacers to get through first ;)

I'm sure we'll talk if it gets further than that...

Latest version of my fast commuter :)
Ex-pro AG2R frame in dedacciai 16.5 steel (by cyfac probably), complete dura ace 7800 groupset inc. hubs on open pro ceramic.

Just recovered this thing, when I'm home it's gonna get a rear disc brake, tubeless setup and some proper pedals.

Finished up my fast bike last week. Still getting a few things dialed in but so far so good.

Tubeless on a jump bike?

Yeh boiiiiii

You're going to be blowing tyres off of rims constantly

Hi everyone... advice needed please.

I need a new rear hub for my road bike.
Requirements are - Available as new, silver, 130mm, 32h, campag 10 speed compatible, as 'fit-and-forget' as possible.
Royce, Phil, etc too expensive. I'm thinking £150 absolute max.

Hope seem good but maybe too expensive s well - although a cheap outlet recommendation might persuade me.
Condor Supremacy seem like amazing value but are they any good?... presumably rebranded something or others... Novatec?

Suggestions please! Thanks.

What's number 2? It's got the same paint as a 'Raymond poulidor' badged bike I used to have. (Made by mercier).

Ambrosio zenith.

novatec. they do campag, they have good sealed bearings, easy to service and can be pretty darn light.

Postman came today, bearing wheels and I've managed to chuck most of it together while the toddler snoozes. Quite pleased with how this has come together, all things considered.

edit - i had actually bothered to put the ds crank at 3 o'clock but it looks like a rogue bumblebee spun them round while i wasn't looking.

Made a new (0.5mm HIPS, duct tape join, covered in auto wrap vinyl) disc cover for my shiny Dolan yesterday, after the previous cover (same ingredients, but with solvent-welded & reinforced join) warped in the heat over recent weeks.

That looks like an absolute weapon!

Cheers man - these look like the best choice for me... being as they are a bit like the old 10 speed Chorus things so will suit my groupset, and if they're good enough for Harry Rowland then they're good enough for me : )

Would still be interested to hear if anyone's got the Condor ones / know what they were before rebranding if anyone knows...?

DIY disc is a perfect match for the chainset, well done!
