Sad to hear man, the build was/is ace.
@DragunovCZ1 I'm pretty sure the frame can handle it. On the fork I'm not so sure.
While 25mm seems to be the widest I can go, @GideonPARANOID fitted 28mm to his (#3962)
Assuming the Bolt, Histo and Parallax have more or less the same fork. -

This is mine
Going to turn it into a bit of a porteur - fat gumwall tyres, front rack, battered old Brooks saddle etc - but happy enough with the stock bits for now.

Thanks for the info.
Got tyres today and put them on.
They fit perfectly (even forks).28c Gatorskins front and 28c Hardshell rear.
Happy days.

Ha word. I've had the long stem / long bars thing before, but it just doesn't seem to look right on this bike. It's more of an upright, sit up and beg sort of workhorse. That said, it's a funny angle on the pic, and I have moved the saddle back now, which feels much more normal. Still tho. T-Rex brotherhood.

What is with those graphics on the fork of the Tuto? Looks awful.

^^^^word. I assumed they were some pre-production prototype before they'd sorted the graphics

nice build, and I'm all for having a fair amount of stem and seatpost, but this looks like you could use the next size up
-

yeah that looks a lot like riding a frame thats too small for you.
-

maybe. really wanted something new after dolan. found parallax for a good price. but seller had only 54 and smaller frames. but really wanted parralax) specially in that colorway

Looks good - if it feels too short, you can get ~20mm extra distance with a setback seat post. It doesn't help you when you are sprinting though.

Kinda know the answer to this already.. have been riding brakeless for about 10 years.. never jump lights, undertake and ride responsibility. However with all that's happened lately I just don't feel comfortable riding brakeless on the daily London comnute on the mash.
Anyone else feeling the same? -
• #3997
depends what's making you uncomfortable
if you're worried about stopping distances and the chance of hurting someone who steps out in front of you - put a brake on.
if you're worried about getting gripped by the cops now that they're newly clued up on track bikes - put a brake on and don't use it. You don't even have to put an inner in.

actually it feels alright. can ride 50-60km without any pain

Happy :)

Very much in a similar boat. Rather pay ~£15 for a brake than £70 for a fine. If I was solely riding on the weekend or evenings I wouldn't bother, but hitting Blackfriars at peak commute hours is prime for sneaky beik cahps.
Have put a brake on, will not use it (I have a nicely painted brake track I'd like to keep that way).
Does anyone know if 2015 Parallax will take 28c tyres. Probably Conti Hardshell.
On TB14s...
Cheers!
