bit pricey, I paid £120 for red22 #pro #buyer

I can only aspire to your level

Less clogging up CP anyway, thread now here

I really like the build, well done!
Personally, I'd only change two minor things: Get rid of the flatbars, I just don't like them. And level the saddle, with flites I find them the most comfortable when the nose is pointing ever so slighlty up. You could also get double straps and toe clips.

Ah it's comfy, but never noticed!

I have drops for it but I like how wide these are, I'll take pictures with them on.

Another question! How do people get such nice side shots of their bike without a stand or the likes?

New bars and wheels on my salmon:

Only been around the block but it feels good so far. Not sure on the tanwalls though.

Photoshop :)

Risers > Flat bars

Get a mate to hold it up by the tyre
He lets go, you take the pic, he catches

Very nice but I figure the colours would pop more if it had black rims...

Magnets!

Sloppy, you won't be able to keep up your magician status this way!

I got bored of the black rims:

Some shallow gray rim might look better...

Bought the Marin frameset mentioned here.
The seller gave me a wheelset, a Deore MT60 crankset, and lots of other stuff for basically free with it. A very nice person, who's very passionate about retro MTB stuff. Thread with pics soon.

So I've bought a Bob Jackson Olympus 853, second hand off eBay. In my (giant) size. Need to work out what to do with it now :)

My Dad's mate sold me this for a very reasonable price. It needs a good clean and a big helping of Campagnolo
