^^^yes I was, I work nearby... the Ring, decent pub!
Cheers for all the help/advice/inspiration Colin, much appreciated! For a while there is it was looking like an exact copycat build was on the cards!
I agree on the tyres - if/when it is blasted I'll switch to gumwalls... black for now though...
that omni race clamp does come in red... could look cool if it is an exact match, but will look shit if it is the slightest shade off... hmm... the paint under the clamp is chipped so any clamp that doesn't cover it will look a little shabby anyway...
I'm going to get some touch-up paint from a friend who works for a car dealership who stock this Chianti red, which I have found out is a $895 extra on top of the 'custom' package from Lynskey!! so I'm not stripping the frame...
I plan to pick up a pair of the king cages from Condor tomorrow... these ones in stainless -
I'm going full SRAM red 10speed on this build but currently have the campag fit rear hub and no one sells the shinamo/SRAM 10speed freehub body anymore!
So I either buy the 11speed body and a spacer at vast expense, or run a campag cassette, or sell the wheels and buy some deeper chinese carbon clinchers...
decisions, decisions...
