@teenslain - where'd you get your obama spoke card?

@ teenslain, what brake caliper is that and is it stock colour? bike looks well nice btw.

Looks like a 105 with the decals removed.

Lever's a Dia Compe Dirty Harry and the track grips are Soyo long grips... Brixton Cycles have got them in if you're stuck...

That's it, 105 and a bit of steel wool...

Update on the Graham Weigh:

I've now fitted the forks to the frame, had issues with JIS vs ISO... but managed to get the headset installed, and cut down the steerer..

I've now got to source some wheels, now having just spent £170 on a nice set i'd rather get something budget for this.. any advice on where to pick up new or second hand fixed fixed wheels? They seem to be much sort after at present and prices are high. Ebay have sets for around £100 quite regularly : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BANKRUPT-TRACK-FIXTIE-WHEELS-PISTE-FIXED-COURIER-700c_W0QQitemZ180288090409QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180288090409&_trkparms=72%3A1345|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

But not convinced of quality, or should I just stick around here and pounce on something?

Then i'm on to seatpost/saddle.. but nearly there.

Here's my Harry Quinn.

just a test build up after I fitted the tyres. I still need to take the frame to a shop to get the odd shaped old BB cone removed so I can fit my new one and get the crankset on there.
Bars and front brake lever are still in the shops ;-)

nearly done,tyres were a total fucker to get on!just got to trim down the bars and get grips as jos was out of the cork ones i wanted.

stunning.

i heart colnagos :)

that's a gorgeous bike, congrats. It's tempting me to go white for my new build...

That's beautiful stephen - I love the white frame. And those wheels are just the fucking business, especially in that frame.

yep, that's lovely

sweeet looking bike

shame about the dent

yeah dont rub it in! just looking forward to getting out and riding again now

sorry

Fuck me that is nice

Looking really nice stephen!
Still waiting for my Colnago to come back from Colourtech... been 4 weeks now!
Went for a Pearl White similar to yours but its gonna be more of a classic track bike with drops and low profile rims... coming soon ;-)

sounds good motman, looking forward to seeing it in here soon,

that colnago is a dream, id kill to have that bike. very jelous.

its an absolute crime that it has risers though.
