It's a flat generic looking saddle, it's like calling a plank of wood ugly.

I disagree

Long time lurker, thought I might contribute.

My Nakagawa:

It has a full black King now though.

There's nowt wrong with an Arione!

I got some flashy new bike jewellery for the Ron:

Cheers. I'll be upgrading with a "Friends of Herne Hill" bottle this season. ;)

Smalls updates on my daily.
Look Ti and mutant ergo handlebar...
Slam on a daily ???

Changed a lot of stuff on the VN. Wheels/Pedals/Pump and Saddle which has a different kind of setup option than my old saddle which forced me to put it so far forward. Not pretty but damn comfortable. Only thing left to purchase is a spare tire so carrying a pump might actually be sensible ... Oh yeah never lean your bike on such a wall my Sti's got ugly scratches from doing so -.-

Put the whole thing in the bin and start again mate

Welcome to the forum.

Looks great Nezumi!

How well do these brakes work? I rather like the look of them.

What are those wheels? I googled Speed 4.0 but to no avail

Really?

I googled and found out that they were veltec speed 4.0 carbon 40mm rims.

Probably clincher.

Stronger than the Dura ace, lighter thant the Mavic and Very well finished.
IMO a good compromise as Bontrager allway do...
By the way I did not test the skeleton campy one to compare.

I notice that there are some second hand ones going quite cheaply, I wonder if they'd be a better choice than the silver SRAM Force ones I just bought...

^ wow! stronger than the dura-ace ones?!

What's it for? They look nice but not on everything I suppose..

I'm rebuilding my roadie, changing from campag to SRAM Rival in silver. The silver rival brakes are hens teeth, so I bought some 2006 Force ones, the silver is not quite the same colour and its annoying me. I think those Bont ones may well be a good fit instead

Got some new commuting shiz going on…

Ultegra 6600 SL is at least three different shades of grey across the groupset.

Thank you psee it is kind of a long term project with a lot of fiddling here and there but finally I am happy. Just need to try those Speedplays out a bit more before I buy the stainless steel version.

mk1mark they are indeed Veltec Speed 4.0 SL full carbon tubs with cheap 25c Vittoria Rally tires because I was skint after purchasing the wheels.

hey senor! I have a concord with a basket and bars like that! nice

I know NukeProof are awful at getting colours to match, maybe that canary yellow is hard to match. SRAM seem pretty good at getting colours to matches, so its just something small that will niggle at me, unless I decide to get the Bonts.
