27.0 is such a weird size!

Well it may even be 26.8 need to remeasure the current one.

I have a 27.0 Zeus one I might part with, but it won't be particularly cheap. Is that the kind of thing you're after?

Risers on!

Thought i'd put all of my stuff in one thread- noticed that @Hulsroy had done, and then went and looked through my multitude of cp threads and figured it'd be wise to do the same.

Anyway, updates on everything.

CAAD2 has got Ultegra 6500 and a Ritchey Logic 1" threadless headset waiting to go on, then it'll be done for now.

CAAD8 needs a 105 rear brake, a chainset (either sora or 105) and then I need to pick up wheels for it.

CAD1 M200 SE is all done, could do with putting 8/9 speed on the rear though as the gear is very short for commuting, and that's what my best friend is going to use it for mostly.

The Affinity is partly stripped of the paint, I need to get on with that- and i've got myself a Histogram fork for it which i'm hoping just about fits. I'll probably paint the fork matte black and throw a columbus logo or two on it.

Charge Plug is painted, albeit horribly imo. Scrapped the graphic idea as my sticker guy hasn't bothered getting back to me for like 3 months. Gonna draw some stuff on it with a paint marker to hopefully tie it all together better. Here's a photo (ignore the wheels, yellow one is going on a cheap eBay-esque fixie to be sold). Need to get the headset sorted on it, for some reason the bearings wont fit, so will try caged ones instead of sealed.

Favourite iteration of this yet! What are the bars?

some generic risers that I got on here- I couldn't tell you the brand, they were on @snoops ' clearout thread!

CAAD2 update, before (paint matched fork) and after (time fork)! Nearly there, just need to sell the two wrong sized front mechs that I have.

Going from RX100/RSX mix to full Ultegra 6500

So, been 3 months since i've last made a post in here.

Sold the Copperhead Pursuit as I wasn't getting on with the geo, picked up this Panasonic NJS.

Charge Plug is sold too, and my friend has retired the m200 SE for a Genesis Day One to take it's place. That means it's back in my possession, I was going to sell it but as nobodies interested, I'm gonna re-build it into a 1x9 ripper with big semi slicks, similar to this but not in those colours.

On-One, Fort Track and CAAD8 are all also sold.

Kissena is off being powdercoated black, and I have big plans for that, coming soon.

Picked up a Pre-Cursa to swap with a mate who has a 56/58 (hard to tell from photos) that's way too big for him, so i'll be swapping it so that I have a beater. Ideally want to have a tracklocross so that's the initial plan.

My bikes are a total mess at the moment, it's really annoying- I need to stop making more work for myself by picking up more projects.

So, small update.

Panasonic is pretty much sorted, bar a silver inline 27.0 post. I'd love a pearl and some decent risers for it but it's fine how it is.

Affinity will be back from paint on Monday, and i have to build a set of carbon hoops up for it soon aswell.

Still need to go get my Terry Dolan from @MCamb cos I'm slacking.

Getting new decals made up for the pre-cursa too, gonna do something custom with that colour wise, should be real cool.

Back for another quarterly update:

Affinity is back from powdercoating- been done in super flip sparkle black. I've also made shadow chrome decals for it and put those on (This will be up for sale soon as it's one of the bikes I own that makes no sense)

I sold the CAAD2 R500 Afterburner to @neilbah who's basically living the HHSRB dream with it- I just wasn't going to do it justice and it wasn't really worth me keeping it for no reason.

Terry Dolan is still in London- i'm an idiot

60cm* (not 56/58cm as previously stated) Pre-Cursa in bright bogey green is here- going to build it up quickly and get it sold as it was only really bought to help out a friend- I don't need a Pre-Cursa.

Panasonic now has a stripped flite as opposed to my other non-stripped one, it has really wide, flat, possibly titanium bars and i've managed to stumble upon a track front HED3 which will make it's way onto it if i'm feeling it still.

I bought a Cannondale T800 to use as a commuter, rode it from early october to now with tiagra/deore mix that barely worked as the front mech wouldn't shift at all and the rear skipped. Changing to risers and 1x9- just got to cable it up.

With the HED3, came a Look AL464P- which most of the parts i've taken off to go onto the PC. Don't know what to do with this yet either.

Last but not least I bought @Miitch 's Martrac Lo-Pro today, bit of an impulse buy but I want this to be the best bike I own other than the Panasonic, so i'll definitely need to shift some frames/bikes/parts in order to get it built accordingly.

Cheers for reading/looking if you've even bothered, i'm proper shit at updating this thread. More photos of rad(imo) stuff to come

unfortunately my dream ended in the Uve Been Indra'd thread https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/230993/?offset=2025#comment14557996

Rip! :( I'm glad you're okay though mate, bikes are replaceable people however are not. Hope you're not hurting too much ✌️
