After years of reprezenting I've finally become a member of Team Chips, lifetime achievement award for services to chips granted, Fuck Yeah!
I've soooo nearly finished it, I just need some yellow Look delta pedals to finally complete it. If any one has any or sale that will match this ensemble, please hit me up.
Massive thanks to @smirri for the frame. Always nervous getting a frame from a stranger in a foreign land, but I need'nt have worried. Absolutely top communication, before, during and after transaction, absolutely top bloke. And it was the best packaged bike frame I've ever received, it took a reassuringly long time to un-pack it all :)
Thanks also to @ootinni for the saddle, which spent some time on my Simoncini before being commandeered for this build.
And also big thanks to Cam from Banzai bikes who ordered the last few parts I needed, and helped me put it all together yesterday faster than I could have myself. Which meant today I was riding around with a grin like a kid on Christmas morning. Such a smooth riding bike, perfect for a larger than average unit hacking around London's pave imitating shit roads. Even with the not light Shamals, overall its much lighter than I was expecting, descriptions of it being tank like and overbuilt had me thinking it was going to be a beast to handle and get going, but its such a confidence inspiring bike I was chucking in around within minutes like I'd been riding it for years.
Enough gassing, some pics. Domo Farm Frites Merckx MX Leader. Anyone got any suitable yellow pedals to properly finish it off?
