Current Projects chat and miscellany

Had a few requests for some photos of my Colnago. It is getting there - now fitted with some rather nice NOS 6500 SPD pedals (which take MTB SPD cleats). Unfortunately they are scratched after one 30 mile ride, but that's just going to get worse, what can you do. They have an awesome little tension dial.

I'm currently struggling with tyres. Have decided the Vredstein Tricomp's are not for me, and black and red is clearly the wrong colour.

So it's going to be Maxxis Refuses, probably in black, maybe in 'aqua', 'sky blue' or 'blue' to coordinate with the blue bits in the paintwork (it used to have blue and black tyres, see bottom pic, and that would match the logo sections on the seat/down tubes). But I'm just thinking black goes with everything really. Plus they'd be cheaper...

Lovely.

Black tyres definitely.

Terrible picture, but coming along

Added vittoria evo corsa cx tyres, michelin aircomp tubes, stronglight titanium BB, fsa carbon pista cranks. Veloplugs don't fit :-(

Still need, lighter forks, bars, saddle, pedals and chain. Probably going to be more like 6kg than the 5.5kg I was aiming for, but with good strong components, no weight weenie bits.

Really like that, looks fast.
