Use a San Marco Concor in black, or an SLR.

for budget, get an Charge Spoon in black.

Maybe this but black?

i rode a selle carbon for a while, it was ok but i had to keep telling myself it only weighed 135g to justify it not being at all comfy. my chopped brooks won in the end, weighty but the comfort is unbeatable. buy a b17 second hand and chop it, fun, cheap and comfy.

Or even a comfortable Charge Spoon Ti, it's not heavy yet still very comfortable.

I dont know about a brooks on this to be honest.
Like them, but i think they suit more on steelframes.
Want more of a fast saddle on this one...

Big fan of the bridgestone.. not so keen on what you've got on the valves though :S

EDIT: Also, I'll take first dibs on the frame for 99cents as advertised!

haha.. toshi valve stem reflectors.. my friend picked them up for me in his last trip to japan...

and yes for $.99 cents its yourSs!

Damn straight! You still on holiday on Friday or you battling through work?

very nice Rob, you running no brakes (tm) from now on?

just finished this yesterday.
cheers to Dale for the wheel, solid as a rock.

Just got a new project. Eddy Merckx racer for 40 english pounds! Bargain me thinks.

And here's a bike I got ages ago but I'm only picking up this weekend. Freaky small wheeled big bike that's going to be my specialist polo bike. I'll be like a pub footballer with gold boots. Looking like I know what I'm doing for the first 5 seconds before the illusion is shattered as I fall off.

AWWW, so it was you who bought the giraffe bike, with the 650c wheels

very nice Rob, you running no brakes (tm) from now on?

cheers dude.
no, just waiting for my brake nut to turn up from reynolds.
you have to buy a special nut that only fits these forks!?!?!.....
£10 for a fucking brake nut.
bastards!

whaaaaaaaaaat! that price is a kick in the nut(s)...

anyhow, it looks great! did you clear coat over or you letting it rust...looks raw from pics.

laquered over the bare steel. it looks quite good up close.
it'll prob only last a couple of months, but it's just a stop gap til i decide what to do with the frame really!
i'll post some close up pick in a min.

@Rosmal

T'was me. Couldn't resist the freak. Like the puppy with three legs, differnet coloured eyes and loads of personality that you want to take home from the pound. Pity, curiosity and the polo plan got the better of me.

Did you also want to give a good home?

Looks nice up close. Well done.

thanks, man.
I'm quite happy with it.

thats nice, needs a brake tho.

waiting for an extra long brake nut to arrive.

oh ok.

That soma looks great, i really like the hubs

thanks. It's my first fixed (had an 06 Langster, but ss)... looking forward to learning to ride it properly.

I work on Clerkenwell Road so I will fit right in. :D
