RIP head lamp though. :(

Pretty much finished new supermarket bike. Zipp post is temporary until I find something cheap and silver.
The original post rotates at the post/clamp connection (as in is two-piece post and clamp piece has come loose) has anyone had any success with pouring Loctite in a leaving it upside down to dry?

Minoura rack, love them to bits, mine coming up soon! <3<3

Get some Nitto risers!

what are those levers like to use?

They're nice and solid and feel nice to me, but the feel of any lever is also linked to so many other factors along the brake run.

I was pleasantly surprised to find bearings in there when I took them apart though!

The allen key bolts are tiny and need care to ensure they don't round.

If I go Nitto flat I could refit the light!

Thank you for buying so I didn't :)

Well I'm glad someone else is pleased I bought it because my girlfriend isn't....
Lack of funds (after impulse buying a new bike frame) mean that the build isn't going to be too exciting for now. It'll get most of the parts from my Cannondale so a 105 groupset and various other mismatched bits. The plan is to use it as a fun road bike and commuter over summer and bang 28c and mudguards on for winter.

Got my dolan summer-ready. Swapped out the non-series shimano cranks for DA, old 35c paselas, cable-tied the basket to the rack. Ready for cansintheparkwiththelads on Monday.

Sweet! Thought that sold a couple weeks ago. Was it relisted?

V nice. Do you need chainring bolts?

I'm not too sure to be honest!

Finished the Shimano 600 AX project that I've posted here before some days ago. Love this 80's Japanese aero craze. So many innovative things in this groupset. Most of them ridiculous and not wel functioning, but I like the pursuit of innovation. Bike is fully fitted with 600 AX, I even found a brand new AX headset cover for more aeroozzz.

Im so glad you (someone on here) bought this.

Build it with 8 speed sora and paul brakes please.

Solid 10/10 mate, one of the nicest forum builds for sure.

Amazing job, love those colours.

Had this on my watch list to! Possible dibs if you ever sell.

Yessss

All the aero! You got the skinsuit as well??

That's superb! Lovely and interesting machine.

Awesome, top work

Thank God no :)
