  • There's something really really nice about the front hub...
    I think it's a pity the logos on the wheels are so big... plain black with a small white logo would have been so much cleaner.

    agree re the decals, they are not peelable though, bonded in the laminate

  • there's a couple more pics...

  • i hate you. give me your bike now.

  • Must be the prettiest plastic bike I've seen.
    Do the reds on the wheels/frame/forks match in real life, or is it photochop trickery?
    Either way, very nice.

  • those wheels are ace. I want one.

    :p

  • How long do carbon chainrings last? Are they lighter than alu? Stiffer? Anything? Bueller? :)

  • lighter yes, stiffer.........not too sure on dat one der boss, but don't last as long.
    weight weenies only. (so you're fucked :)

  • What do you know about carbon chainrings slag? Are you a closet skinsuit wearer or something?

  • 31's got this gaffer taped to his handlebars

  • lighter yes, stiffer.........not too sure on dat one der boss, but don't last as long.

    life is pretty good. On a geared setup for road racing you'll get 2500miles which is one season. But on a fixed gear with perfect chainline, a thicker ring and no gear change stress can expect 4000 or so miles, doesn't sound much but's a few seasons of TT use so for a dedicated TT bike I reckon it's OK. Besides, no-one makes off the shelf 55T track rings, you have a choice of carbon from fibrelyte or alloy from MDT. The carbon is cheaper...

  • that is longer than i expected, but good as you say for doing TT's etc. those MDT's are expensive

  • Your bike is awesome. Clap clap. Will there come a time when kids of the future look to ebay to snap up bargain aero carbon frames? I'm looking into cryogenics.

  • Bumped and tagged since I failed to find it last time..
