Ben's ever expanding Gazelle collection

Oooffff that's lovely, great build

Lovely!

Cheers. How's your monostay coming on?

Pretty slow, can't believe I've had it over a year and it's not done yet.

All I need to finish it off is a wheelset and those pesky aero DT adapters.

What wheels are you thinking?

I have an Atlanta rear, so would be nice to get a front and build them up. On the other hand might get a set of Zonda, then I can also use them on my Cannondale SuperSix.

Campagnolo Atlanta will look better for sure 👍

Both great options.

I'm giving the CM CX a few tweaks so it can act as I my pit bike for cross season.

class that! (don't forget the brake shoes!)

I've put them somewhere..... no idea where. But I need to order some pads anyway.

I'm considering swapping out the bartape to black. It looks really mean with the black saddle (though that one is not staying).

(From my experience of carbon brake pads you can get blue ones from Planet X or cork ones cheap, like £8 a set and they’re great - I’m not bothering with £30+ swisstop anymore, I get through them too quick)

Swap the tape out when it’s worn, it looks great as is - might have a ti serano saddle going spare if that’s still your preference?

Tape was shitty deda stuff that is now worn out. So will swap it out.

I can get bontrager branded Cork pads for very little, so will likely use them.

Which size serano? I'm having a nightmare with a saddles at the mo. Nothing seems to be working for me.
