I’m in love with that paint...

Yes, yes, yes!

Lovely!

Yep the whole thing

This build is near perfection for me. The Mavic components, yellow accents and ceramic rims just work so well.

What year is it please?

Just putting it out there, sorry if in wrong section..

im looking for something but not sure if exists... frame and fork carbon, single speed with pearsons ( i think it is pearsons, where brake disc mounts and hub sit on a sliding bracket so brake does not need adjusting when removing slack on chain over time) or BB eccentric etc..

trying to remove the rim brake wet noise and go disc brake.

ive seen one once at work but didnt know who owned it and couldnt find it on the web anywhere and now forgotton what it was, but i was still taken back by carbon fibre and brakes ( rim or disc cant remember)..

but plenty of track bikes but no brake options.

Maybe some CX frame where you can put in an eccentric bb

Thank's it's not ceramic but Mach 2 CD2
Ther frame is to big for me... 58 / 58

winter rat bike badly needs 650b, 47 clears in the fork but rear is maybe a 35

New 28h wheels

New old Brooks, oury grips and new 34 ring (losing the 36 and 42 and leavingt the granny cause could not be bothered to try to remove it without removing the crank)

That looks great. Did you fit a wider range cassette when going 1x?

THX!! i am super happy with it!

i am trying to not spend money, appart from the tires and seatpost... so i just used the 11?32 x8 cassette i had, and the front ring is a middle ring i had also, not even narrow wide (have dropped the chain already a few times but the granny caught it)

for now i think i am fine with the ratios of 11-32 with 34 chainring 175 crank, nice and easy to accelerate to okaish urban commuting speeds, i am not flying around but i can still climb with my kid in the back without too much effort (before the low gear was 32-36 and it was "hard" for me with him in the back)

i only passed to 1x because i never used the granny and rarely used the 42m

Almost done. Just waiting on a final part to arrive.

You could have gone hydraulic for the price of those!

no but at least its more fucked up, its pure

also does the fork support 160mm BUT thats a +20mm adapter?

No idea - I've had these adaptors on around 5 bikes now.. they seem to work fine

@PhilDAS I'm all about cable discs + these cost me £75 for the pair

these cost me £75 for the pair

Damn that's actually not bad

I've been a fan of cable discs for the last 2 years...ish
But the hydros on the cursed 3T are really fantastic and now I'm going to swap all my bikes to liquid brakes

Anyone got a nice but not pricey 11 speed rear wheel for rim brakes to sell?

New tyres, brakes and mudguards for my Mr Pink. Ready for winter!

Put gears on the Rapture. It rides nice but is a bit heavy now.

Should have left it SSCX.
