Oh hai you little tease ;)

Just how bad are the MKS Urbans? I guess I'll have to see how I get along with them... how bad could it be? (famous last words)

Depend on the shoes, I find them very comfortable and very easy to flip round.

they're great with clips but wouldn't be much cop without.

Thanks for feedback regarding the Nittos... you may have made the import duty from Alex Cycles more bearable!

Uglier, lighter, better. MKS MT FT
Also, I wouldn't ask a seller to lie about the value of an item, it's a huge risk for them. If they do it of their own volition though...

Ebay listing

I got 1m x 100mm and it worked a treat.
It has some flex in it so you can stretch it to fit a bit, but once stretched it stays like it.
I was being finicky and trying to keep the logos and yellow on the inside of the fork, so took me a while with a scalpel to get it right.
Quite pleased with how it came out.
Looking to try something similar in red to my rear mud guard.

Awesome thanks man.

bought mmyself some omnomnoms and a campag titanio 9 speed gruppo for my nago :D

I love mine, I got some on my Vivalo, double straps and Vans, happily do long rides with them in comfort, might get a second pair for my road bike.

Haha nah those cdales aren't mine unfortunately. What is mine is that wrapped up number being delivered any day :)

So you're replacing the Roberts with a C-track?

Maaaaaybe...! Yeah I've wanted one since the beginning and seeing I don't get on with the Roberts I thought I may aswell use the opportunity..

Cdales are so shit. You should sell it to me.

Awesome c-dale madness!

Who do those frames belong to btw? Is the red one the same that was for sale on here?

How do they even end up in the same room like that are you smut peddling them?

Done, at least for the time being.

• I'm still unsure about the brown bar tape. Black would have been the obvious dogmatic choice.
  
• Regal was right about the Nitto M106s, nice, stiff and for me a nice shape. I ordered them 2cm narrower than my usual 42cm and am quite enjoying riding with narrower drops.
  
• May have to tweak the lever position but it feels just about right so far.
  
• With double straps, the MKS Urbans are (thankfully) fine, comfortable and not slippy for me.
  
• The saddle looks slightly off in the photo but it is (and feels) quite level.
  
• There is a part of me that wants to replace the Open Pro / Goldtec wheelset with wider rims and blingier hubs but if that happens, that will be in 2014.
  
• Regal's is still much nicer!
  

Lovely looking frame. The seatstay toppers look grand.

Does your saddle need to go up?

That is pretty fucking awesome, especially the direct-mount centerpull.

RE levers; you're missing the shim for compact drop for that brake levers to give it a flatter hood.

Looking good Hin. I definitely prefer the drops & Concor to the bullhorns & Brooks it had originally.

I especially love how the front brake cable route perfectly to the rear's as if they're connected to each other.

Real classy! Would some Campag aero levers suit it better? Like these...
