what you need erection?
I got an OS 120mm and a 26mm 120

What stem is this?

I have a silver one of these available.

Enjoying the ride of this, very stiff.

Want to sort out a seat post fairing as the long skinny post looks out of place and finding an aero post long enough might be expensive,

whats going on here?
No mielec no more?

shame you missed out on this Aero (probably Mick Burrows) carbon seatpin 27.2, note: very long, at least 28cm from round section to rails. £20: http://www.lfgss.com/thread110836.html

They're forever popping up on eBay, long sizes aren't that rare. Besides, you don't have much seatpost exposed on that frame, so won't need anything too long.

Hmm maybe find another.

Will keep and eye out, the pic was taken before I'd ridden it, needed it raised a fair bit more after that, not too much mind.

Haha that was the original plan!

two functional projects:

the one in the back is for my dad to take up commuting again. well aged c40 with early millenium ultegra. it's nothing too fancy so there wont be more photos in a while.

the one in the front is replacing my kona unit monsteur dadmobile and porteur bike. I just fitted a top tube child seat today. it will get a porteur rack too and some mudguards come winter weather. also debating puting a 1x10 downhill transmission on it à la shimano zee/saint or sram xsomething, but currently SS.

What is the front frame?

Also how come you decided to replace the Kona?

it's a rawland drakkar. the kona was stolen. and the shop, didn't have another in the right size.

I did a frame swap last night from my old MBK conversion to an Affinity.

Wasn't built at my house so didn't have any outer to recable the front brake so will be doing that at the weekend, and all my friends keep bitching about the saddle angle so I'll take a look at that too.

New wheels are gonna be built probably end of the month, then might put drops on it, but apart from that I'm happy with it, been lusting over a lo pro for too long.

nothing wrong with the saddle angle in my book, it's the bar angle that's wonky

Looking pretty nice man!

How're you liking it?

@B0N0R - how do you suggest I set up the bars? Genuinely open to advice as I've never actually bothered sorting them out, just always set them up "flat" and that's been alright.

@Indra - Only ridden it to work and the saddle height wasn't quite right but - as much as I hate the phrase - it felt fast. WIll see how it goes on the ride home.

Yeah flat with the ground i'd suggest or tilted up a tiny bit. Look like they point down in your pic

Awesome, first one i seen that wasn't a stock pic on CRC

did you buy it complete?

Cheers, it had been sitting in the shop I work at for a a few months so I asked if I could just take the frame, they said yes.

take another pic infront of a garage door or something... that doesnt do it justice

^^^
It very well may just be my eyes/picture angle etc, but does the front wheel look a little oval shaped ?

yea its bang on trend

ah balls, back in my day ........

I will go out and take some proper pics soon, just playing about with the garmin now.

Made a thread for it now but for those of you that aren't gonna visit it, here's a better pic.
