  • That Roberts is beautiful. Why are you saying it isn't finished? To me finished is when a bike has all the parts required to make a bike ridable, and that's usually when buying parts stops for me!

    Thanks BD! It's built but not to my liking. Changes that are likely to be made are as follows:
    Cranks - currently Origin 8 but I want Campy.
    Stem - currently Nitto but I want Cinelli.
    Saddle - in pic Kashimax but have just changed to a Fizik Aliante with blue detail as my arse can't survive with no padding. will change again to something older (possibly a turbo, eh Kam?)
    Tyres - currently all blue CST's loved these when I got them but now want something less bold. Probably black for now and maybe gum wall later. Tempted by a Brooks saddle and I think gum walls would look hot with that vintage look.
    Brake lever - currentl a Dirt Harry but as Kam said, it's too chunky. I need to find a something smaller, maybe a cross top?

    Come to think of it, by the time all that is done, I'll probably have changed my mind and want to start over again! In my eyes, I'll probably never finish building anything! I'm too fickle!
