Build a bike around a saddle?

Also - @Zed should see this as well....

What's his username these days?

Paging @Zed

Does that work?

Re: Cranks- surely it has to be Omniums?

(You needed a backslash as an escape character.)

@\_Zed_ 

Thank you!

Cranks- surely it has to be Omniums?

Hmmm. Choices.

I prefer the aesthetic of the Alpinas, and the £80 saved.

Is there a strong performance argument for the Omniums?

About the same as an arrospok

This front wheel might be quite sick:

Oh. It's disc brakes.

Carbon. Deep. Really deep.
And a carradice.

Cycle Surgery have the front Shimano WH-RS300 Clincher for £59 delivered.

Perfect

Very deep carbon is the other option. Might get one of those Chinese carbons.

There will be a Carradice on this bike at some point in its life. Guaranteed.

THE ONLY OPTION.

Possibly with broom handle handlebars.

remember someone pinging a spoke on a snowflake pattern on an early Ride East. I seem to remember black frame, red rims

Maybe Jon's: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15298498/

Def wasn’t Jon that day but I do remember that bike too. Fuck, how many had snowflakes back then? Probably more than willing to admit.. I totally wanted them but didn’t ever buy fancy skidder wheels....

Someone called...

This is going to be hilarous

(in a good way)

PS do you still want blue shoes?

Bet it gets nicked within a month...

You called?

Surprise no one said 8bar.

I keep trying and failing to picture quite how anti this is going to be. Can you save me the effort and just burn the parts now?

PS do you still want blue shoes?

I have a pair. I built a bike around them too.

Bet it gets nicked within a month...
