Another effing Pompino

Seatpost paint (or powder-coat) holds up just as well as the frame, as the prep's the same. It's never raised or lowered as nobody else rides it, and it's security-bolted in place so I never remove it. I doubt either coating would withstand regular lowering/raising.
Front light is a Cygolite Metro 360, but any handlebar-mount light would probably work. Rear is Cygolite Hotshot SL50.

Yeah I never thought about the fact that once it's set the movement issue shouldn't even be an issue. My beater already has a colour matched fork, stem and handle bars and as they need a repaint I thought about doing my rack and wald basket to match so seatpost might get done too! Thanks for the tips!

Recent back injury has put me off the bike(s) for a while. In order to get back on, changes must be made.
Step 1 - Mudguards off, fatter comfier tyres on.
Sim Works 'Volummy' 700x38s.

Step 2 - Time to 'Grandpa' the riding position somewhat, yet give me the chance to regain flexibility gradually.
Jones H-Bar Loop 660mm, butted/taper aluminium + Shimano BL-R550 levers. If I come upon a used set of black Paul Canti Levers locally I'll swap 'em out, but I need to get this thing rolling.

You should go for v-brakes as you have the opportunity now you have flat bars on. Mini-motos or something.

But cantis!

but stopping!

It had V-brakes on it for over 4 years, using Tektro RL520 levers.
Cantis are fine, especially on a chill city rig like this. Gearing is now down to 38x18T.

This is gonna look good with the jones bars, hope you heal up soon!

No time for hyperbole

All buttoned up.
Bar tape is Mash SF 'Gamma' - comes with lovely metal bar ends that fit flat or drop bars, and the nicest finishing tape I've ever used.

Fingers crossed for dry weather soon, dying to ride it.

Wrow! The new cockpit looks so nice, full bike pics when??

First ride yesterday. This thing is plush,thanks in part to a new (Rapha Classic 145mm) saddle.

Levers and cables were set up so that they aren't visible from the saddle.

Wow, excellent.

Looks great!

fantastic job, looks amazing

nice to see you've used a flexible v-brake noodle to route the front brake cable into the canti hanger - have just ordered some of those to try and solve a tricky cable issue I've got ...🤞

What the thing on the left strut of the basket?

light holder

See post #68 in this thread

oh very smart, might have to steal that idea when I get mine built up

Incredible! What's the bell?

Diggin' those tyres!

Hip hop functional

That looks amazing! Is it definitely a Kalloy uno seatpost? I can't find any with a clamp like that.

Maybe Spurcycle bell
