How come? (replacing the S-Works that is).

Cool...thanks

Nope - replacing the S-Works. Canyon/utility bike is here to stay :)

Straight parts swap onto the BMC?

And you still have the Merckx?

Very nice collection bro.

Ed: Bit of practical stuff (geometry wasn't quite right for me, too many proprietary components, and I want something more aggressive), bit of need for change after 3 years, bit of vanity... Blah blah

Loin: nope, have a 10spd sram red group going on to it- freehub change on the rovals and we're good to go.
Merckx is on the wall at present, but may sell due to 'better half pressure' :)

Oh and thanks :)

Fair enough, it's not like I'm asking you to justified yourself! nice to have a bit of change.

reads Dans post, pulls trigger on TMR01

Which s-works?

really shouldnt be thinking about new frames....

why are your cranks on the left?

have you also wondered what kind of weird language is written on the license plates?

Have you ever seen Greek writing ;-)

^ If that's meant to be classical greek, it should have a smooth breathing on the omicron thusly:
ὀ

It's classical Anglo-Saxon :-)

I can only do the bits of Greek which are the same as Cyrillic.

Fuck off

Charming :-)

this is coming along,

think i'll lower the levers a tad
and i re filled the detailing on the calipers

[QUOTE=saarf;3560560]this is coming along,

Jesus, ahhrrrrrrr that is niiiiiice.

You won't want to ride it when its done.....sell it to me ;)

i'll think on it ;-)

Take a look at Salsa Pro Road bars - they do three varieties of drop, all with a tight-ish radius up top. Guessing the Large or Medium might suit you. Come in 46cm too.

Yeah, I've checked out the Salsa bars before.

I'm using Deda RHM02s at the mo, and as far as I can see, they are identical in profile, reach, and drop to the Salsa Pro Road Med.

Mind you, the one thing I don't like about the Deda bars is the lack of any flare out at the ends of the drops, so the Salsa Large could well be about right.

Saarf that Colnago is beautiful !!

My Pub Bike project is coming along, two primer coats and a base coat of white then Pearlescent White, put the first few labels on today with clear varnish so once the rest are done the laquer will go on.

/\
Thanks )
still not sure about lever position, the bars are crit bars, I'll check against another set up for reference tomorrow
hubs need a little buff also, panto'd Colnago

Where υ=i, giving "fik off"

Surely you mean "άντε γαμήσου ρε μαλάκα"

lusting over low//'s today. dam you 1000aa

I finally got round to changing the decals and bar tape on my track bike, and today I took some wanky photos of it. So here they are. Yes, I removed the brake for aesthetic reasons.

It ought to be the final final final final version, but I kind of want to a) get some gumwalls, b) get a slightly bigger chainring and c) re-lace the front wheel to match the rear. Then I might do a longwinded, self-indulgent thread showing the various iterations over the years (it's still the only fixed gear I've had).

As I said, I can't do Greek. On the other hand,

In early Greek it was pronounced like English oo [u]. In Classical Greek, it was pronounced like French u or German ü, [y]—a sound that is not found in most dialects of English. This was the case at least until the year 1030AD.[1] In Modern Greek it is pronounced like continental i or English ee, [i], and in diphthongs, [f] or [v].

so the vowel change in Greek is the opposite of the one in the move from German to English, where ficken became fuck.
