I always wanted a flyer and figured I’d buy one at some point. They Genesis went and fucked it all up into the abomination it is today.
Unfortunately sport line was already out of stock in my size but managed to score one at Balfes bikes. Ordered it last I
Monday and it should be with me on Wednesday.
A few late night drinks made me think about how I could upgrade it.
Started digging in my spares box and found
-3t supperleggera handlebars
-Sram s900 brake levers
-16t track cog
-Berk lupina saddle
-Ti speedplay pedals
-Roubaix tape
Then drank more and bought the following
-Planet X 50mm tubular wheelset
-26mm Vittoria corsa tubs
-3t stem
-use carbon post
Parts are slowly coming in and can’t wait to put it together. When my bank balance has recovered it will either get some Pistards or Sugino 75. I’ll probably upgrade the brakes at some point.
Most people will think this is pointless but I’m having fun.
