yup!
rode it to work this morning to work,
the nitto B123s should be with me today and i havr a stem in my draw to whack on it until the proper one comes
looks massive feels small, when i am on it but fast! and heardly any toe overlap somehow....
still not sold on the colour or the graphics.
p.s phoenix is a bike shop in bournemouth, the frame is a custom build condor 753 stickered up as a team shop bike, apparantly they have done that a few times in the shop (thats where i bought it from - through ebay)
thanks for your comments! am pleased with it!

you're worried about the graphics and have:
-black hubs on silver wheelset
-brown brooks saddle and matching bartape, with crappy corks
-cheap crankset with bash ring.
-anatomical dropslogo's are the least of the worry's :p

Hey dale -- those are £150 cranks! Tune.de.
I'm loving the amusing hating though.. ;-)
Also you have a point about: colourmatching parts > decals -
• #32
yeah, bars and stem are just temps till my new ones come... and yes you're right sloppy of me with the wheelset... will build some velocity's next month
at least my valves line up with my tyres
;)

actually, i don't mind the hubs. just brown leather bits on a modern track frame look weird!

if you don't like that colour then you are blind. the paint looks fantastic and the decals are totally non-offensive. first off, get the decals off the rims. i have to agree with dale for once, if anything is throwing it it's the saddle and tape, although i like them on there own if you know what i mean. i also like your apartment, carpet, storage unit, policeman hat and darth vader mask.

right well the nittos got delivered... are these B123s?
....
this is the first time i have ridden with track bars.. (fixies arent so big up in yorkshire!)
how hard is it to climb on the drops!? insane...will have to get used to it i guess, i think i miss my moustache bars already...

Barring the lack of tape and angle... I cannot see a difference.
Just me?

123's aren't anatomic!
-
• #44
the bottom picture is the old road bars right?
nitto drops are very steep, they do take some getting used to, for sure. -
• #45
I like that bike!
bin the decals, but don't paint it.
-
• #46
yeh. those look anatomic.

That is awesome . . . personally i would get the condor painted up fresh in the original colourway with replacement graphics
-
• #48
so what are they?
not B123s? but nitto and NJS stamped... not a fan of that lack of sweepy curve...
-
• #49
couldn't tell from your pic, have a look here

nitto b127's. same reach and drop as b123's but anatomic. they're awesome.
I think the decals are well smart.
The frame in general is fucking boss: lovely colour and nice details. Seat cluster is RUDE.
