The picture on their website should be a ZS?

Thanks for the fitting tips. But I would prefer to put in in the oven and not in boiling water. Maybe even treat the fork with dry ice. I repair helicopters by trade so everything would be available.

Correct, but the Spec list says EC44. I would check with them if was me.

Whichever works for you!

It say it will fit ZS44 or EC44. Obvs.

That allows people to fit tapered crabon forks if they don't like the stock steel one.

I did. Talked to them yesterday, sorry I thought I wrote that here. But it was in the project thread. He even said that 44/40 should fit. But I think he was confused with what I wanted. He told me ideally get the ZS44/30

Went to visit the family today for some socially distant quality time, so thought I might as well take my new cyclocross race bike for a shakedown ride around the Hambleton peninsula at Rutland Water. It's a bit frisky.

New seatpost, seatpost clamp, stem, polished some old mtb bars, new brakes.

This thing is ridiculously fun to ride!

No gear or brake cables to destroy racing (or the washing afterwards). Nice.

Looks kewl. Is that a stripped flite?

That looks great. And fast.

Tandem Envy!

Ye looks fast. 1x road bikes look cool

Yeah it's a flite, does the job

Looks superclean! I've stripped a turbo saddle before, but it looks way more trashy. Did you give it a special treatment?

Ah got ya!

Too be honest, I bought it like this. Hadn't really put much thought in treating it, I've had it for a few years now it's still fine

Not quite cable free - the angle of the photo is deceptive. Still, fairly minimal. Hoses and Di2 cables go inside the bar, with a bar end Junction A box. Only took 3 hours to get them all in place.

If not hydro, and then, when the outers start gumming up, and you need to replace them, and it's all neatly heat shrink wrapped, what do you do? (Asking for a friend)

They're hydro brakes. R785s. By the time the hoses need replacing I'll be dead, so it'll be an SEP.

I know. My ... cough ... friend has normal ones though ... :(

Ah, in that case the answer is easy. New bike time.

Eyeing up a new frame but it’s 27.0mm seat tube. Find a 27.0 seatpost or shim up from 25.4?

Find a 27.0 seatpost

Sometimes the obvious answer is the best one.

Another retro mtb cruiser. More photos :)
