Current Projects chat and miscellany

I like them too. Much handsomer and lighter than I expected with nice Miche Pista hubs - well worth the price. I think I will leave them and erase them damn Aerospokes from my mind. I'm in two minds if about fitting the front brake, as it would ruin them. Maybe cork pads?

I'm going to fit Shimano Nexus cranks for now (wow, it's going to be loads of cardio - 38/14!), because they're cheap and perhaps later on stick on bigger Miche chainset, but have to do some paid work first.

Saddle is Sella Italia SLR - hope my arse will not hurt much. Stem is a budget Ritchey WCS and some cheapo aero Alu handlebars with carbon wrap and Deda tape. Tyres are Continental Sprinter Racing, as it's not a commuter. Will do for now.

I'll post something when's finished

Yep they are pretty swish in the flesh. They work OK with a front brake but it can mess up the stickers I guess. I also went through a brief period of aerospoke lust...thankfully purged myself of that.

Couple of people here swear by stripped SLRs...look like gooch-destroyers to me but each to their own!

The Miche Advanced chainset is my favourite chainset so far (although I've never owned Campy, Dura Ace, 75...). Well worth it.
