• Cheers dude :) was kinda hoping I could manage 38 SKs but I guess we'll have to see.

    Ended up messaging an eBay seller in Berlin after I missed out on a different Pacer on the off-chance it fell through. Turns out he has/had a bunch of Kuwaharas and ended up selling me a slightly nicer one, which was pretty good.

    What size/profile are those tyres? Might be interested but I'm finding myself leaning towards the pink as well.

    Yeah, I'll probably have to do a build thread, finally! Just noticed it takes a 27.0 post so that's messed up one plan already. On the plus side, this one does have the original stem so hopefully that's not some annoyingly narrow clamp size (hoping to get 25.4/26mm bars in). Should be fun...

  • Amazing. Stoked for you that it came through!

    38mm SK on the front will be fine, 100%. For me, a 35mm SK on the rear meant I had to cut off all the little injection moulding hairy bits on the tyre to stop them rubbing the stays.

    The ones I have here spare are 35mm slick purple. No worries if they're not what you're after - just on the off chance. Pink will look sick.

    Excited to see it come together.

  • This is really useful info, thanks - most likely going to run archetypes too (black this time around) at least initially as I have a wheelset knocking around, so your measurements are pretty helpful :)

    I've just realised that Panaracer do two different purplish colours and I am apparently after the impressive sounding 'Pansy' from the same release as the pink. So apologies for being a doofus and thanks for the offer anyway. Will probably get a set of each in true #buyer spirit!

    Second child arriving literally any day now so it may be a bit slow coming, but watch this space ;)
