Sick

Did snigger

I’ve got some nitto noodles I could post out with that seatpost, but they’re probably not quite what you’re after I reckon.

rad!

Cheers, only just getting started!.

Just picked up a pair of 650b Pacenti rims, thinking of cannibalising the rear Surly (what is the best way to take apart a wheel?) but need a front hub, thinking Novatec D791SB like these however I am out of the loop when it comes to modern MTB kit: it doesn't come with a axle, I would like track bolt-style axle for it, not QR, what should I be buying for it?

I also noticed corrosion on the Crane Creek headset so I may bling it up with a Chris King is anyone has one for sellz.

I think this needs black guards and black rack.

Started sticking a few parts on the Soma

Big bones

Silver drop bars, seatpost and stem on the way...

Guards should always be silver/polished anyway. Looks great so far!

Sweet!

What wheelset is that?
Are the Cinturatos 35c? How do you like them?
I've bought some in 35c but haven't tried them so far.

DT RR521 rims on Bitex hubs. The tyres are the 35c, and measure almost exactly 35mm on 20mm internal rims

Can't say much about the Cinturatos yet, but @jontea has been using some for a while and seems to like them

Centrelock bitex? Some of the best hubs around imo

Nvm should have looked at photo better.

Yup, RAF & RAR 12

Does anyone know where I might find a 90-degree plastic bracket to adapt a rear-facing mudguard mount (futura gravel) to a side-facing mudguard eyelet (pdw) - ive looked on sjs to no avail

This is great.

Next up:
Bottle cages
Nitto Randonneur bars

Excellent.

Finally changed the bars on my GF's Mercier, just in time for the summer...

New parts fitted:

• Nitto Commuter B483 bars (510mm wide, 95mm rise) with Weinmann levers and cork grips
  
• Panaracer GravelKings 700c x 32mm
  
• KMC chain
  
• Fibrax white pads
  
  

Wheels trued too!

Ah, you mean 483? Not familiar with that model - bike looks great.

Being a bit of a shortarse myself I am a fan of small but nice bikes. Would ride.

Yes - corrected the post.

B483 which are 51cm wide, high rise, North Road inspired bars.

They are quite narrow so better suited to someone of smaller stature. They are definitely too narrow for me and rise too high.
