yeah worse bar angle ever, far better angle before!

also that saddle is bound to hurt and it looks shit.

looks like that again now...I took the pic before I had ridden it much...

also that saddle is bound to hurt and it looks shit.

it is... its a rubbish saddle that was on the frame when I got it.. any suggestions for a nice replacement?

Your bars need rotating and you need to get rid of that rear tyre. Apart from that, the frame looks nice cleaned up

I thought it looked decent...at first... gonna grab some gatorskins soon. cheers!

There are a lot of replacement options for the saddle: Flite, Rolls, Turbo, even a Brooks wil look good i guess. Just something with a faster look.

nuknow were you thinking of welding canti mounts on front and rear and then putting drops/cross tyres on? because thats exactly what i was thinking of doing. an idea is like a virus etc..

i just won a colnago Ct-1 from ebay , is there anyone know which threading and the seattube diameter for ct-1 ?

Thanks

Finally got my new (old) frame back to my house. Needs some nice new wheels, maybe a nicer seatpost, maybe some drops, and a bigger chainring.

Also I'm going to get the top of the steerer tube filed properly and the star-fangled nut levelled; it seems daft to have a CK headset coupled with a blunt hacksaw/hammer job on the steerer.

Man, that Colnago Pursuit with double discs is insane! PORN!!

No where near as flash as the Colnago, this is my current project. Just got new wheel-set built and put on. Mavic Open Pro CD x Campagnolo Record 32H. Good bye to the Campagnolo Pista wheel-set which I had on before..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Christ on a bike that looks special, in a good way.

New wheels definite improvement.... niiice!

Fake Tiffany Dunks for bonus point

My daily commute

Still got a couple more bits to do.

Geoff Butler lovin. Never seen one the same as mine before

think this would be overkill on the yellow?

I guess it will be overkill. A black Flite, or a Selle Italia Turbo, they make replica's now, they are like 25 euro, so 20 pound orso. And they are beautiful. If u go for the rolls, go black.

I vote black rolls or turbo.

Rolls is a great saddle.

Haven't sat on a turbo but they have a good reputation.

i have turbo's on all my bikes

My latest build. Korean Keirin InterPro .
54 c/t seat - 54 c/c top tube
Keirin brake set up , need to find my front.
Flip flop hub Fixed/freewheel.
Grear in pic 48 x 16 but will be 44 or 45.

Yep Tubulars , the only way to ride.
S/F,
CEYA!

White Interpro's rock!

Thanks all... sounds like a debate! What are the pros and cons of each? also what do you think will look best on the banana? I agree that yellow might be overkill...

Black. Most colour coded bikes look shit.

Saddle/bars the same colour. Black tyres, silver/black rims. Those are my rules

While I'm here. Most recent build Pinarello Paris Pista

The Rolls and the Turbo are both held in equally high regard. It's really just down to you.

As long as it's black, like the tyre you'll be putting on the back..... (:

Pinarello Paris Pista is a beauty.

I know this is just my second post, but here are some pictures of my ride and project (i think every part can be upgraded.)

soo, drive side view?

heres my new car:

you know it ! although even in a cartoon/joke sense do you not have any love for the yellow rubber ?

by the way you reminded me of Henry Ford!

I see the yellow tyre and I think you might be riding around on a home trainer tyre. Not good.

Also when you get the chance you should try a larger frame.

You know what I think?

I think he should build the bike the hell he want it to look.
