Current Projects chat and miscellany

I've got one, mint, £80 posted... and black.

lol... I'm only being cheeky - After spending more than I'd planned on the power meter and missing a good deal on some other stuff I'm not sure I can afford a new saddle a.t.m.. Not to mention the fact that I actually like my current one, I was just interested to try.

No worries, I have to run a narrow nosed saddle due to a health complaint, have had that adamo in a box for ages and keep forgetting to sell it.

Finally built up my Colnago Pista! Got a few bits I still want to iron out/change:

-Want a more suitable saddle
-Straps/platform pedals

Thanks for everyone who helped me with parts! :)

OMFG my bike is dead, quick build a new one. 48h later I ended up with

Note that this was before adjusting things for comfort (also no air in the tyres in the pic).

Rep to roboto for the frame which still bears his name.

Do I now qualify properly for WNKR?

I've just been putting this one together, it needs a front brake, smaller chainring, and different stem... but I'm pleased so far!

Did you drill the forks ?

Nope, they were already drilled (at the factory, by the looks of it)

My first lesson of losing the chain tensioner is that to the uninitiated, chain tension is a right bitch.
