integrated fork + non integrated headset

You'd think they'd have a better arrangement on a $$$ custom build.

It's the client's choice.

They could've ordered F&F and then built it themselves using their own components.

The King simply does not make a neat job of the transistion to the Enve fork as it's too rounded. IMHO because the design is still based on year dot and conventional forks .. look at Baums, Crisp etc if you want to see more examples! The Tune headset makes a better job of the transistion.

This is perfect . . .

....? Why Indeed ..

Flites are a total design classic, don't see what's ugly about them. Classic concord profile, really comfy, lightweight.

Most winningest saddle? - The Flite 1990, forerunner of todays ultra-lightweight saddles, weighed less than 200g. It won more victories than any other Selle Italia saddle with no fewer than 24 majors (T de F, Giro and Vuelta) and over 950 prestigious international races. It was the first saddle made with titanium rails and co-moulding technology that incorporated vibration dampening elastomers. Selle Italia Saddle - Flite 1990 Saddle Use Road/Off road Rails: Titanium W 139 x L 275 Weight: 200g

This doesn't include scores of x-country wins...

Who gives a fuck? It's not the saddle that wins the race.

Just an interesting bit of trivia, settle............

aye, my stable has always been slr/flite/swift in rotating order, tried fiziks on the past but always go back to the classics

Flite's are so ugly..

Well, that's you on that list .

You mean the track ends?
Nothing fucked up dude. There's a bit of plastic fitted, to prevent the frame to go untrue (when moved or stored).

i meant the style of the track ends. in my opinion they dont match the rest of the frame. they should have made em cleaner and smoother. know what i mean?

Oh fuck off. Compare your comment with bmxconan's; his is interesting and yours makes you look like a twit.

Yep, I do. Those are (or so they seem) Campagnolo track ends and dropouts (could be Columbus as they're pretty much the same shape). To me they're the most well designed ever.
Nothing wrong there AFAIC. I do see your point, but I reckon that frame rocks just as it is.

Boom

I feel sorry for the poor apprentice who was saddled with that ^ job. >_<

I feel your pain dude. clenched fist held to chest

With a threadless carbon look fork and a different wheelset, this is my dream "nice fixed".

that giant is lush, but a weenie build with a 220g saddle? Needs

What's it called and where would you get one?

I stripped a flite and it weighs about the same as a piece of paper.

Do you have any pics of it stripped? Stripped flights are hard to find on the web.

Joking, right?

What's it called and where would you get one?

Selle Italia Flite Evolution, and you need a time machine to take you back to 1993-1997. They do occasionally come up for sale without attracting silly money. IIRC, I paid £95 in 1993

not for street ridding

No way.

Something not quite right about a B17 with Speedplays...

Pentagram chainring is kvlt as fuck
