After staring with revulsion on every ride at the ultrasonically cleaned (not by me) seatpost on my Max Tommasini, that had its shiny chrome finish replaced by a grey so dull Nigel from accounts rocked it as his midweek underpant colour of choice, I could take no more and had to replace it with a shiny one that matched the bikes chrome seat stays and
seatlug. I can sleep soundly at night now.
Also managed to source an Ofmega Mistral crank for the bike. Always liked the look of these, gives a sense of forward motion and I can pretend I had enough power to melt snd warp the crank like that;)
And I made the classic mistake of buying the crank without even considering what BB it needed, I had 3 different length square taper italian thread bb's in my parts bin so one of those would fit surely.....wrong. Turns out these cranks need 118.5 length axle which is longer than anything in my stash. So big thanks to Wayne at Pedal Pedlar who couriered me over a special Sunday delivery Ofmega Master bottom bracket so I could get the crank fitted to bike before the end of the weekend, and I just managed to fit it and take
a few picks before sunset. Thanks Wayne!
