sweet baby blue!

yeah pretty much what I am thinking!

I'm sure you'll put a brake on it for the safety of your daughter.

The springy bit is in the shifter paddle. With no shifter they're floppy

Finally after having this frame and forks for about a year and a half and every couple of months saying "I really should build the Argos", I put some parts on it temporarily to see how it rides and if it actually would clear 32s.

Seat tube has been attacked before my ownership as to get a stuck post out which inturn has disfigured the lug a small amount - this'll either be looked at by a frame builder or more likely I'll find a bodge ie silicone, sugru or inner tube to keep the rain out.

Next stage will be brakes and a freewheel, stage after that and end goal is brakes, 1x, mudguards and front rack.

STOLEN BIKE ALERT: folks, please keep an eye out for my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX road bike. Even though it was D locked, it was still taken this evening outside my office in Oval. (From 4pm to 7pm)

It is quite an unique bike with every parts bespoke compare to a standard stock bike.

The parts included:

Dura ace di2 groupset
Rotor 3D crankset with Power2Max power meter
Pro vibe seatpost, stem and handlebars
Rapha saddle and handlebar tape
Chris King hubs laced to light bicycle rims
Vittoria Corsa G tan wall tyres
Speedplay pedals
Elite bottle cage

I know the chances seeing it again is close to zero, but if the off chance you see it please lock it up and contact me.

Many thanks.

That sucks to hear man, I just saw it on your instagram. I'll keep an eye out, it might end up on fb cycling forums as well, so could be worth joining those and spreading the word.

bugger, hope you get it back

Tan walls in 28 and some vision trimax bars.

Nice build but you can setup the bars upper

I am not sure about the bars ... they have a weird shape and right now I have the top aero foil part level, but the drops nearly point upwards. If I don't have the top level, because they sweep forwards, they put my wrist into a very uncomfortable position when riding on the tops.

I got them because they were 75% off on wiggle.

I'll get some conventionally shaped bars eventually, like the 3T ergonova ones, but for now this stays because I am broke and routing the housing through carbon bars is a pita and I neatly heatshrinked everything as well.

Is this better?

ooft i think thats it. Good switch up with the wheelset too.

HELP:

Anyone near bermondsey and rotherhithe area?

My bike has been seen and someone is trying to sell it.

Just messaged some mates in Peckham, I'll see if they can head over.

More likely to be the blokes flogging it...

Thanks, the fucker is trying to flog my bike for £700

(Get someone to) pretend to buy it, test ride it and then just ride off.

The frame has been chopped up apparently.

Or get some one to pretend to buy it, then glass the cunt.

eep where are you seeing that?

over in the stolen bikes thread. Apparently someone sent @Hoke a picture of his bike being touted round Bermondsey/Rotherhithe and the rear stays had been smashed/cut through. Absolutely brutal.

Damn that's devastating . Hope it could be salvaged.
