i like sparkles

Be ultra super mega careful with this.

These frames are notorious for cracking around the cable guides on the down-tube.

I've owned 3 of these in the last 5 years, all 3 of them had this problem :(

Noted, thank you. Good to know what to keep an eye on

Latex tubes have made my favourite tyres even favouriter.

Great tyres, I love mine but have never got around to trying the latex tubes which came with them. Do they feel noticeably different with the latex ones?

Surprisingly so, yes. Plusher, faster. I was running Conti Race Light tubes before, and was amazed that I could feel such a difference.

V nice bike all round!

welcome to 2015!

;)

nice bidon

Ive had 3 bikes in this exact same color now i guess i like it? Or am i just ambivalent perhaps.

Either way this is smooth and tight. was a really nice shake down ride. Now to get rid of a few logos and cut the fork.

Hello the lightweight wheels are still available

Havent ridden these in quite some time. But dident take long to remember they are still my favorite wheels, with new vittorias (actually old since i prefer the previous version of "tan") they are incredibly smooth while feeling stiff and fast. Possibly 100% placebo but ill take it .)

order delivered and picked up. 80 usd pre-owned. it's in really good condition.

Very sweet, amazing how that style of bars changes the whole attitude of the bike.

Lovely gift!

really nice - any vacancies for additional friends?

Really sweet. Love the strong grips, really finishes this off!

@bigshape always happy to make new friends. Though, I only make bikes for the friends who I sleep with. Not sure if you would be happy with this condition, lol

LFGSS powers! It seems that they're sold out everywhere but managed to find a pair on the forum

would probably need to see a picture first...of the bike

I have a pair of old Campagnolo aero pedals that have been languishing in the parts bin since I broke one of the clips. I have need of them once more so I bought a pair of NOS clips off ebay, which have duly come and are all lovely and shiny. So question: how to get the very dull, oxidised pedals to a similar happy shiny state. Looking online they are talking cream of tartar but I am sure I have seen discussions of shining up aluminium here in the past, so does anyone have some amazing insider tips?
