Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

What are those?

Or these

Alternative mounts for the front mudguard from SKS: £2!

I don't suppose anyone happened to buy a set of four of those trek ones and now have two left over? More than happy to go halves and provide some beers for the trouble!

Royal mail were meant to deliver some today, but has predictably got lost in the post, and I'd really like to get my front mudguard fitted before I take the bike home for Christmas.

Whats the thru axle that everyone is using for the forks ?

The forks come with one.

Ended up finding a set of the 4 trek ones today, so if anyone needs the remaining two gimme a shout and they're all yours.

Finished my build tonight. Bars need to be lowered and leveled out properly but pretty much there. Winter boot pedals on for now. First ride will have to wait as it's -20 deg C with 15cm of new snow on the ground. Very happy with how it turned out.

Is anyone using a hope pro 4 on the front end rather than centre lock. Have you had any issues fitting a 160 rotor with space to the forks ?

This is nice, one of very few 'you know what you are doing' builds. Pedals especially :)

What are the pedals/clips? Great bike!

Thanks. Pedals are White Industries and clips are King Cage. They're a nice combo. Only thing to note is that the pedal spindles are quite short so may be a consideration for large feet and short chainstays.

a rather posh build but very nice, congrats !

Pedals are White Industries

Ah. Not within budget sadly but they look very cool.

offence taken

:-)

desticker rims

ok hun

Is it the photo or have the ends of your bars melted?

Is it the photo or have the ends of your bars melted?

I'm getting flashbacks to the Neo Morphe XL bars from Cinelli:

Part photo but also the Di2 wire that runs under the tape really makes the end look like it's sagging. Bars being tilted up don't help.

Yeah. Ailerons with Dt 240 looked ridiculous and took away from the bike. All discerning Isen owners should desticker wherever possible.

Change bars, route cables internally.

May do. It is hurting the style points for sure.

We need content, that isn't just moody too dark photos of mine and carens bikes, for the website. Would anyone who owns an Isen, or knows anyone who does with a decent camera and a surplus of bokeh be willing to take some wicked photos of their builds in exchange for some Isen merch?

Can also pay in exposure.

Can do
