  • I wish new bikes looked this good/had this much character. Looks awesome, did Shimano ever do an aero bidon?

  • the ax bidon was "aero"

  • Fierce.

  • Glad you like it! It’s actually alright. It looks steeper than it feels, maybe the photo angle. The ergo took a bit of playing with for it not to look all wrong.

  • Great looking ride! The 7400 groupset fits it beautifully.

  • Thanks, yeah I think it’s come together well. Almost as good your kestrel!

  • If you can maybe upgrade the whole group set to 7700 series instead? Wouldn’t look too out of place.

    Only saying this as the 7400 series brakes are terrible at best (even the 7403 dual pivot isn’t that great)

  • Absolutely love it. Think the ergo stem sets it off IMO. Just the right amount of bonkers.

  • I actually pieced together a whole 7700 groupset during the slow hunt for the wheelset and that was the initial plan but for some reason then wished I’d gone 7400 and coincidentally the guy who sold me the wheels had a groupset going so bought them together.

    I’ve got 7900 brake calipers on there anyway, not bothered about the mismatch and think they sort of work with this frame. Wouldn’t look right on your Look though...

  • Thanks. Yeah I think so too. Only after messing about with the angles tho, looked weird for a while. Flipping the middle section did the trick.

    Tempted to put a TT chainring on it, but that may be the step too far. Done for now, just need to actually go and ride the thing properly...

  • TT chainring sounds reasonable

  • Sorry, bit of a dredge, I have four frames you could test the wheel on. One currently rides, three are in various states of build from bare frame to needs a fork via needs the cranks and a chain

  • Love your work by the way

  • My gf has actually got a tokyo bike but I can't work out how to remove the wheels! I haven't properly tried yet but it needs a specific tool.

    So yeah, I'lll take you up on that. We should prob go for that 650c ride at some point too...

    Will shoot you a dm!

  • Holy shit I just found this & it just made me throw up with envy, it’s stunning! Really good 👌🏻

  • Ha, kind words, thanks man. Need to get out on it properly.
