  • Capo/CAAD5 has been sold. Sad to let it go but 2020 bike plans have gone completely out the window and I’m not good at holding on to things that are not getting used regularly. I still have the carbon wheels but these may have found a new home as well. So for now I’m back down to two bikes.

    Good news is I have funds to pay for my new road wheels (more on those soonish) and a bit left over to throw at the Dart.

    Speaking of the Dart I went for a quick ride yesterday and was reminded of how much I like this bike. I want to do something with it but have to consider the fact this is my lock up bike. Need to think on it.

  • Leave the dart as is (really very lovely) and focus on the CAAD9 imo. Maybe you could acetone the stem and tape over the st/seatstay decals to clean it up a bit?

  • Nah - get some decent cranks for the Dart! Those on-one silver jobbies are letting it down slightly.

  • This is kind of the plan but I think I could make a few subtle improvements. CAAD9 will be getting something more significant.

    @cheekysnaker @PhilDAS would love some ratty Sugino DD's on this but can't justify them until a cheap pair comes up (unlikely). It's an odd sized socket but I think I can remove the chrome centre dust cap which'll at least make them look more like Omnium. I'm hesitant to sand off the logo's as I'll be cutting through the lacquer/anodising and I don't like mirror polished.
