My Genesis Croix de Fer

I was just joking about the pink thing, i'll keep the orange as there is nothing wrong with it. It'll look nice with all black bits I think.

Oof, sound a whole lot worse than I thought it was! Just wasn't sure if you'd somehow figured out exactly what happened in the crash and realised that you'd hit your head on the bars. But since you're still not sure maybe a suit of bubble wrap is the safest option?

Sounds good, look forward to it!

Nice this is coming to life again! Silver bits worked really well, but black will look mean. Stoked to follow again

LBS just sent this over.

Anyone got a cheap black headset before I buy a cane creek 40?

Could smack the FSA headset out my Raleigh for a tenner if you want (and if I can convince @BareNecessities to lend me his tool again..)

Perfect, I've got the tool if you want?

That would necessitate bringing the whole frame to London!

Glad to see this living again, when things break it's just an excuse to improve further ;)

Makes for some tidy cable runs along the top tube and elsewhere. Thank you. * Tips Fedora

Any pics of how the dynamo cable runs look on your bike in the channel?

Here's 3 pics that might help.

I use shorter runs on the head and seat tubes and then just run the long cable sheaths on the underside of the top tube. Everything else is zip tie or a wrap of of self amalgamating tape.

All I did was wipe the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to clean them and leave them grease free so the adhesive would stick.

Thanks for that. Looks surprisingly good!

Ah what model is it out if interest?

FSA Orbit X

Perfect, PM me your payment details!

Also worth mentioning too that the cable sheaths can be cut with scissors so it is easy to do any customisation.

Maybe on-one OG

Those aerowings look super comfy

I really like the shape and width of my OG's. Only neg. is the shitty graphics anodized on there.. Whats the go to method of hiding that kind of thing?

Throwing them in the sea?

@spotter I'm watching your build with interest in the hope that I might emulate it in the future when I have saved up a bit after my Equilibrium debacle. +1 for the OGs in my opinion. :)

Basically this;

Didn't know that. Off the list they go.

Which is a look they clearly took from me

I think this is great, was love at first site. Shame about the colour, but bright for a runabout.
