Just flip the bars, embrace your inner elder.

Oh you tease... Full bike photo, the headlight is still on there?

Ahh thanks, yes it’s 30mm. Another rookie lesson in the world of 1” threaded. Fitted it with bushing and bearing locktight , think it’s disastrous?

There you go, headlight not fallen off yet!

I would always advise to fit the correct size parts, but you probably won't die.

Potentially gonna do a build thread, it’s been a few years in the making

Did the crown race fit ok? I think JIS have different internal diameter's to ISO.

Looks boss! Well done!

The headset came with a new crown race that fitted just as tightly as the previous

Not that it's unheard of for framesets to come with ISO head tubes and JIS forks 🤨

Thanks, it rides nicely too. I'll experiment with bar options to see which variant I prefer, but to my eye it won't look any better than it does right now!

One of my forum favourites atm for sure. That headlight is nuts.

The seat post looks out of place, but otherwise it's very clean.

New fizik bar tape is crap, all of 1 week of riding and the suede has worn down, and it now looks like a crusty mess.
Thought the cockpit was finished, but the stem creaks and cables creak constantly.
I've been hankering for an integrated carbon cockpit providing I can find one reasonably priced. I'm not sure if this is just retail therapy gone wild or not

Ikon looks good but also led me to the Vittoria mezcal, anyone got experience of them?

@pit seems to like them enough to buy them more than once

Great summer rear tyre. The xc race version is a bit fragile and has a lower limit of 30psi.

Stripped the mudguards off my hybrid (mainly because the rear one snapped)
Had these wheel sitting around (with corsas on) and thought i might as well use 'em for summin

Boast post... Needs larger cassette too ;)

Nice, need some bronze downtube barrel adjusters!

Where can I find that please ?

Not bronze, but gold anodized at Fairwheel or maybe check bmx places?

Always been a big fan of this

I think I have an exact pair of these in the drawers if you looking for some +gaรȶ๏ภ ?

Took the QR out for a spin and took some snaps. Same shit every time... I talk myself into selling it, take it for a ride and get cold feet.

Can't make up my mind! Space isn't an issue but it doesn't see any action anymore.

What should I do?
