Hmmm... Vintage Correct Slave is slave but is less slave than true Hip Hop (abomination) Slave.

Sounds good? Post what u like. I do.

Just browsing first page of this thread for inspiration, and your bike is on the front page! Hopefully not the same bar tape...

I just changed it! (consistent) 😎

Mark up pls.

TBF this TCR deserves its own thread
nice pursuit Mash btw

This is the main problem with most bikes posted on this forum. Bars down levers up.

Maybe there should be a thread amnesty, though, where the HH police have to post their own bikes for a reckoning.

Let's move on...

Most people are limited by physiology and finances.

With used parts I reckon someone in the know could build the silver CAD on the previous page for less than £1k. Whoever built that bike has a great eye for detail. I've never gotten the moneygun aspect of this thread. Not all but most the big dollar stuff on here looks middle aged try hard to me. Like those "custom" cafe racers round Shoreditch being ridden by bankers.

Adanger on PR/Insta knows how to make insanely expensive stuff look HH but shirley that has more to do with her knowing what looks good?

where the HH police have to post their own bikes for a reckoning.

My bikes are more "OK Boomer" than HH.

liking this. da9000 defenitly needs a thread

The dale on the previous page proportions are hideous.

The cockpit is almost as long as the top tube.

The rake on the fork.

The toe overlap.

I could go on.

that look has many issues but trispoke alignement is an eyesore

Heh. That's the point, imperfection is perfection.

For me, it’s exactly those details that make it such a good candidate.

I love that bike, but it’s at least £1.5k IMO. Which is still a good value road bike with loads more character than anything at 3k nowadays.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be here.

Just sayin it piss easy to pick apart any build.

I’ll bite:

The toe overlap - check

FYI I hate DA9000.

Looks like a Star Trek Dildo.

Not a fan of an internet pile-on but flip the situation: what about your tcr makes you think it belongs here? 2 stickers? Coloured cables?

Saddle level with bars
Bottle cages?

Agreed, the joy of this thread for me are builds that show great taste and long-term appreciation of HHSRB, whether that's MGOOF, or modern frames with classic drops, saddle, wheels etc.
It's got to have the right shape tho - long stem big drop like that 'dale

Budget is very secondary, my only build that's been posted here was a parts-bin job that cost me nothing but reflected an appreciation of HHSRB over the past few decades... https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15180495/

I think the stickers swing it.
