a score and some männer meat sausage.

Reported for cottaging.

thanks guys. its great to ride. very lucky to have a reliable stoker. as you say Gaz, really looking forward to the summer and some long coastal rides.

Updated Cross Check. Sorry for the shitty photo. King Ti cages, Exposure Maxx-D Mk5, Ortlieb bags & Old Man Mountain rack.

I have a TA 48t 130bcd chainring if you want it.

That Condor is lovely! Small though?

Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp tyres.
Need to find a cheap SLR
Unsure about seatpost

Ready for Saturday week do you think?

That Condor is lovely! Small though?

Thanks. No, it's a medium. Size 55cm.

Blue bar tape...

Or black bar tape...

Wrapping the whole bars because I use this bike for commuting.

Personally think the blue actually looks better in the flesh, I just wish it was a bit darker to match the headtube.

Ready for Saturday week do you think?

yeppppppp

For now keep the black.

hahaha

fuck yes ! ! !

Cross project coming along. Since I had all the parts for the road version, I thought I'd set that up for starters. Roubaix kind of theme with 28c Duranos. Wheels are cheap and heavy but looks alright :)
Can't decide wheather I like the belgian flag think or not. Gets a little to black without I think.

Looks great.

Looks awesome! How's the chain tension?
I'm really liking that frame - how much did it end up costing from Aliexpress?

Thanks guys!

Chain tension is good. I'm using the BEER Components eccentric BB for BB30 shell to 24mm spindle. http://imageshack.us/a/img829/5489/img17121168x1280.jpg

Import duty is pretty steep in Denmark at 30% ish so ended up paying 480£ for frameset, headset, seatpost, clamp and to bottlecages at ICAN Sports.

Still had to remove paint/clearcoat from rear calipermount threading and headset cups. Especially the bottom one. Haven't riden it yet so can't tell on performance.

I'm liking the Belgian colour scheme

That is still a fucking barg.

Currently building a new set of wheels in the original 451 size before tackling that bottom bracket!

Got some better shots of my low pro (bro-pro?)

Still want to try some track/road pedals with a decent single strap, track grips for the risers and a rear 23c Gator, maybe a foldable one? then some optional flat bullhorns at some point, tempted to take some of the stickers off to, looks messy.

Actually really good to just cruise around on, everything is just so effortless.
