it looks like a Specialized id loved

Yes. I do miss that one

We all do

Mate, you should really get some actual work done.

As soon as I get some I will.

Surly 24 pack? Looks awesome

Yes bought it off Jammy. It is super versatile. And thank you.

Just finished rebuilding an Easton alloy frame I had at home.

Top tube - 55cm (centre to centre),
Seat tube - 56cm (centre to top) & 52cm (centre to centre)

Fitted a Chorus threadless headset, Kinesis Aluminium 6061 threadless forks (taken from my Pinkarello).
80mm Deda Zero1 ahead stem & 42cm OS bars.

Mirage Triple / 8 Speed groupset - with Avanti brakes. Recabled the british way

Trued the wheels & fitted them with the fantastic Michelin Power Endurance 700 x 25mm tyres - These are better than Continental GP4000 IIS.

Anyway, rides mighty fine and soon to be found in the Classified...

nice seatpost !

The frame came with a 27.2mm with a shim insert so I re-used it.
Shim looks like a couple of millimetres so that would make the seatpost about 30.9mm or 31.6mm

As much as I like the turbo

my no carbon 10s update

25 rear tire and DA Easton Seatpost

That Columbus Max is a silver-spoke-black-or-grey-box-section-32h-or-28h-wheelset away from being porn imo.

This is what it looks like when you're a Brit abroad, Brexit just happened, and you're looking for a silver lining. Well, it appears the £ just plummeted, let's buy something!

And a year later,

Booom ! what's the plan ? mudguards ?

I'm working on a pair of Cosmos 24/28 h and have thoses CXP33

Mudguards yes, eventually. Unsure which though yet. Plan is all silver everything running 10 speed Campagnolo.

Very nice understated colourway.

about to put/bodge a rack back on my daily... any ideas of a more sturdy looking version of these?

^ what he said

@withered_preacher He's got track axle not QR

Drill it out an extra mm?

Have a rear shiny derailleur Campag 9s Racing T compatible with 10s transmission If you want.

It would be 6mm i beleive.

But yeah, for track axle!

Yeah I was thinking 9mm axle, not the QR itself
