PhilDAS never content with the bikes I already own

Adhesive cloth tape!

Very neat for finishing, whats the ID on the bar tape?

!

It's Rapha Pro Team bar tape

Off to Cambridge for a bike fit. No, I'm not riding there. I don't actually cycle any more.
Arkose is coming with me as a starting point but the fit is for the new bike.
I've ridden the supersix a grand total of twice in 6 months. Since I basically only ride on my own these days, it's pretty wasted on me so I'm thinking of selling it.
New bike will replace the arkose and do the odd road bimble with fat slicks on and ill rebuild the Ti winter bike for all proper road riding.

Who are you getting to do the bike fit?

I'm going to Ben at Primo cycles

Cool. Don't buy a Moots.

Solid advice that I will bear in mind

Cool. Do buy a Moots

Why?

Thanks for managing to leave the words 'gravel bike' out of that post

God no, it won't be a gravel bike. It will be for gnarmac specifically

Tilebagging bike?
We badly needed updates to the phildas current project thread

We need Phil back in the kitchen where he belongs

Because going for a bike fit and walking away £7k worse off seems excessive.

It's a fair point

Looking for a house at the moment and one of our (my) requirements is a garage or good shed for a workshop. So it might happen.
Unlikely to be in the kitchen again though

Just pump and dump the Arkose then? Ruthless

Sounds great. I've been looking for a house with a garage for 5 years now :)

@Phildas keep us in the loop for the supersix yeah ta

Bit sad, it's a great bike and the new one will undoubtedly be heavier but I've been chasing the feeling of my 853 Fugio ever since I ruined it with mudguards and shitty paint and the arkose leaves me cold. It's all about the feels

User amey will be pleased to hear that bike fit doesn't agree with me slamming my saddle as far forward as I can get it.
I'm as shocked as you are

I never understood the forward slam. Don't you end up with a lot of weight in your wrists?

fucks SAKE

Last time I checked, Phil didn't have weight a lot of weight to worry about
