Cinelli Mash Bolt HHSB

I know - "Wow, would you look at that, another fixie-skidding hipster building up a fancy Cinelli. How inventive and exciting!" You will sarcastically think to yourself.

Believe me, I know - it's not new, it's a bit samey, but I'm going to have a crack at building my new Cinelli Mash into a sweet HHSB street whip. I know it will probably end up like one of those run-of-the-mill Instagram pr0n crit bikes - but that's the point of this thread. Hopefully, the forum can help me to avoid that.

So I started off my picking up a Corima front wheel from @c4shr (cheers for that, dude!). This puts us one step towards HHSB status.

The next task to handle is cranks. Want something very HHSB, but would also go for something like a pair of omniums. Anyone got any for sale, or could anyone recommend some cranks?

New Miche with logos removed?

75DD.
Was that you on @umop3pisdn insta story?

I must admit, the Pistard Airs do look quite nice - don't know if they're slave enough though. At the moment, the options are FSA Pro Carbons, Omniums, and Sug75s. Open to more, though.

Haha I saw that too.

@ShutUpBlud Turkish is right though. 75DDs are the one.

Insta story? Also, yeah, I think S75s or 75DDs are gonna be the ones for this build.

Yeah he had a picture of someone with the 4 spoke on their back in traffic the other day. Must have been you

Might have been me. Both my bikes have 4 spokes, so that's likely

Wow, would you look at that, another fixie-skidding hipster building up a fancy Cinelli. How inventive and exciting!

Tell me more, I got the most generic Histo ever.
What Bolt did you get?

Latest one - Bolt 2.0. Unimaginative, I know.

Get Rotors

Wat. That wasn't me. I think that was @c4shr bringing me the Corima

Okay, so I'm thinking of using a Zipp Service Course stem and seatpost for this build. Yea or nay?

Service course SL yay
Service course nay

Fair enough. Why not service course? Genuine question because I've never been one for fancy finishing kits - I just think "Does my stem hold my bars in place? Is it the right length? Yes. Okay, it's fine".

Is it just a case of Service Course not being slave enough?

Cinelli Mash Bolt HHSB

Yup, fair enough. I figured it was an issue of not being slave enough. I'm buying on trade, anyway, so Service Course SL shouldn't be a bad price.

Would Thomson Elite also be a good choice? I've only stayed away from them because everyone and their mums has Thomson, and I'm trying my hardest to be a special little snowflake

Chinese carbon seatpost, pro vibe 7 stem with decals removed

I've never seen that Pro stem before - looks pretty sweet actually. I work for Evans and it doesn't look like we stock them anymore - hopefully I can custom order in something like that if it turns out to be what I want. Also, I completely forgot about Chinese carbon. Way to go?

I don't have much experience of those Chinese carbon bits and bobs. Might take a look at the Chinese carbon thread.

Anyone selling some slave bits? Need bar, stem, seatpost, saddle. If not, I'll just buy on trade from Evans. (Bar-wise, I'm looking for bullhorns or risers)

Also, what's the verdict on a rear wheel? Disc, or should I not be riding a tub on the road?

Tubs can be annoying on the road, especially if you're going to be skidding, although for HHSB logic isn't exactly the primary driver
