If you're going to do that, buy an actual shim for it. Thomson make one.

it came with them

as well as spinergys or mavic ellipses or something.

If I were thinking dropping that kind of dolla on a wheelset, I'd probably change the frame from a visp first.
But that's me.

Oh right, what did? Your new oversize stem? Then it's probably the shim kit to use standard bars.

For the record, Profile Design also do an OS Airwing.

The shims came with the bars, I think, maybe with my lever. Either way they're real shims.
Don't be dissing the visp irisque, you try and find a better Alu track frame for under £100.

the point isn't that you can get a better frame for less than £100, it's that you could get one quite easily for less than the price of a pair of ellipses.

But then I would need wheels to put on that new frame?

If they came with the lever they won't work.

fucksticks

true and it's none of my business how you put together your bike anyway, so as you were. looks like a nice bike too btw.

Spinergys and bright pink bartape was my idea! All part of my master plan for the Fauxser!

I'm all for input, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it here. Looks like I'm going to be buying some OS airwings.
Haha, go on jamie, ill get spinergys if you do.

Its a deal Henry!

also my bike will defo be lighter than yours when my carbon forks turn up. No more steel steerer tube.

Pff whatever, keep kidding yourself

Don't tell me the Visp is heavier than the lugged gaspipe steel Moser?? ;-)

Fuckin hell max, thought you were poor but apparently you live in a mansion with columbus SL gas pipes ;p

christ sumo, what happened to the chas roberts aero? i swear theres too many purchases to keep track of! plus i thought me and jamie were gonna pimp the visp? all sorts of betrayal

the chas roberts is sitting at £70. I've put in my highest bid and we'll see what happens.

I had a lot of stickers, and I still have a lot left. I got bored last night and stickered it up. Got the idea from The Lush. Yeah nice cranks would be good, they're next on the list, as well as spinergys or mavic ellipses or something.

Spinergys + Visp = match made in Heaven, they're as bad as each other.

Don't you already have decent wheels?

it's very plausible to find a decent frame for under £100, even conversion is plentiful enough.

Whats wrong with Visp's?

Cheap and practical modern track frame. Everything doesn't have to be a shopper you know.
