Not mine, I'm afraid, but there's a description of the bike and some more photos here :-)
Fenders:
Spencer Omega 35 mm, two sets combined
Mudflap: rear: buddyflaps, front: unknown
Dia Compe fender stay adaptors
Problem Solver fender nuts (attaching the front fender to the fork)
Various hardware including several L bracketshttps://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=34903&start=510

nice! apart from the mr pink, are there any other steel rim braked frames out there that take mid reach brakes and have fairly aggressive geometry?

Rubbish photo but whilst we're doing Mr Pinks, here's mine.

They've stopped making Mr Pinks now, not particularly aggressive but Genesis still do the Equilibrium in a rim brake version.

Yeah options seems limited. All the audax frames have 72 head angles but looking for something a bit more lively. The older Dawes sportif fit the bill but rarely seem to come up in larger sizes

The Mr Pink (in my size) had quite a relaxed head tube, 71.6° I think, so not sporty, but very comfortable, a great bike, if you can find one in your size I would highly recommend it. Think the Equilibrium has a 72° head angle.
Indeed options are limited, Soma don't do the Smoothie ES anymore, Surly stopped making Pacers.
I love caliper brake steel frames, and chubby tyres, so I've gone down the custom made route, soon it may be the only option as the industry seems to have fully embraced disc brakes. -

Very handsome. And the bikes not bad too -

I appreciate that the 74° seat tube and 71° headtube make this XS bike look less small. Rate that.

That's fucking great, you seem to have a knack for making smaller bikes look well proportioned.

Great site. Didn't even know it existed

• #243
Thanks a really useful tool.
One of the newer road logic breakaways would be perfect as they clear 30mm with standard callipers. Rare as hens teeth in xl though. Or a cielo.

What size are you after? There's a 58cm Mr Pink on eBay at the moment and @lowbrows was selling a 54 on here recently.

• #245
Yeah I’ve been eyeing up the one on eBay as I’m after a 58 - though would prefer one with carbon forks

Ooft yeah lovely. Guessing they’re not a lot knocking around though?

Most likely not in Europe. Sometimes you will find one on the Pro'sCloset.

Lovely bikes ^ there but too rich for my blood. Shame there’s not something like the spa audax but more aggressive.
@BareNecessities One thing that's put me off a lot of bikes in terms of using for winter duties is the lack of mudguard bosses, this looks awesome. Did you fabricate these QR mounts or off the shelf them??
