I've just been gifted this mavic ksyrium sr wheel set...
and this tokyo fixed road rocket f&f (columbus max and spirit + carbon fork)
So cue first road bike project and 'gateway drug to all forms of cycling' accolades.
Only slight problem is that the frame came with baggage - previous owner decided to insert 8in of aluminium seatpost without grease, which didn't work out too well - frame was labelled irretrievable and post was stuck.
AK47 at the bicycle ambulance worked his magic and out it came. Only problem being the damage to the OG sparkly paint job.
Need some paint to prevent rust, so with the white mavic hubs, thinking plain white all over respray with back parts. Haven't got a fucking clue when it comes to roadiness! But should be an education.
