eddie is that a cassette on the back wheel?

@ eddie. Wasn't convinced by the orignal posts but the copper/silver finish is rather tasty.

its just a cog to cog stretched chain atm

Finished my new one...

bike looks lovely, but that saddle looks painful.

Rear wheel is temporary until I get another 17t or probably 19t cog. Pedals off Cuntster. Then just fiddling I guess. No one will ever spot me again..

@hippy: isn't your riding position a bit:

A bit what? High? Prayer-like? Animalesque?

And nice red tyre, you Hipster ;)
So when does it get the sticker treatment?

yeh i'm definitely going to remove the blue arrows and probably the lettering seeing as some letters are missing. any tips on removing them? is it just a case of peeling them off and clening up with gt85?

Personally I'd steer clear of solvents (white spirits etc) on carbon fibre. GT85 would be safer, elbow grease safer yet.

(disclaimer: comments based on chemical knowledge as apposed to direct experiance with carbon fibre componentry)

Got a couple of black furrets (or whatever they are called, the bits that go each end of the cable) if you need to add to the stealth.

Yes please!!! Will have to grab them off you in the new year as well as those black chainring bolts Tynan promised...
Cheers Guy! :)

@ hippy. that is one ugly chainring. you missing something. where's that other brake cable going to?

That wheel isn't the one I'm going to use.. it's a spare.. not actually bolted down yet.
The tyre is an old one off the road bike. Colour matters not when it'll be skidded through in a week.. "must kill tyre.. must kill tyre.."

bike looks lovely, but that saddle looks painful.

+1 on saddle pain, also I'd lose those QR's asap before you lose your wheels!! Otherwise though, cracking job mate!!! Really really looks great!!

@ hippy. that is one ugly chainring. you missing something. where's that other brake cable going to?

I like the chainring. It makes the most of my awesome power.. ;)

I got the bars complete with levers and cables from Bobob. I'm not sure about running a rear brake (for the anti-hipster look) or just cutting off/removing the rear brake cable?

Which tyres? Rubino Pro? They're fine. I don't actually skid that much and I usually put old tyres on my commuter when new ones go on my road bikes so they're pretty fucked to begin with.

The saddle height is right but I've not done anything to the bars yet.. they're still loose.
I need a 2.5mm spacer I think.

I have some spare carbon spacers if you want.

Are they smaller than 5mm? If so I'd love some.
