Didn't stop people from buying Thomson.

if you think £80 is a lots for a stem (and I agree to a degree) don't have a butcher at the Tune stem.

Really love the gloss finish of the CB (carbon fibre);

Or the moots Ti stem, http://www.rememberdelaware.com/p-83031-moots-open-road-ti-318-84d-stem.aspx?gdftrk=gdfV21133_a_7c351_a_7c2656_a_7c83031&

I run a centaur with my 75 and a chris king up front and it's a killer combo

Sounds good, cheers for the comments, the Centaur is pretty reasonably priced too :)

Another thumbs-up for Centaur here. Three years of trouble free spinning so far.

does anyone know where i can get a campag compatible 135mm QR rear hub axle?

pm colnago costa

now with porteurs

Also, anyone know what this frame might have been built for? It's a bob Jackson from sometime in the 70s I think. 62cm ctc seat tube. No bosses. Tight clearances. Feels real nippy. Is it maybe a criterium frame built for a giant?

riding?

I think he meant, why go for the additional stiffness and weight of 60mm rims if you're going to use that many spokes?

Yeah, I was thinking they'd be over-built. Not a problem of course. Just a shame on such a carefully thought out bike.

loosing a few kilos of fat is cheaper ;)

But you wont need to rotate that fat, as well as propel it forward. So you wont feel the same benifit, when accelerating.

Anyway, I'm sure it'll be great.

Just dialled in the position using the Bike Whisperer sheet, and the stem is flip the right (according to you lots!) way round;

Tell us more about the noose. You fucking perv.

I still can't decide if I like that BMW or not. Curious to try one though.

The noose is in case DJ came back.

Is that a red stripe sticker on the seat tube?

Brixton Cycles sticker.

The BMW looks like a hoot - is it fun to ride?

I'm not sure what I've seen more Max's fucking Cannondale or Ed's fucking BMW*, either way I'm piss bored of both.

I'm sure the BMW will win in the end he's only had it a week or two and I want to burn it.

*bad day at work.

Give Ed another 2 weeks of fitting Randonneurs and trying different shades of Orange for the bar tape.
Only then it'll be ready to be posted in Final Current Projects.

Looking good Ed.

Did you try out the next size up?

I remember being told that it was illegal to own a noose. Is that right, or was it rollocks?

I know it's legal to own rollocks, by the way, smart arses...

Illegal in the states to hang one somewhere as a threat. Owning a piece of rope is fine though.

What Ed does with it and BMW... that may not be entirely legal.

I'm still confused about the brake hoods.
