  • Considering your geometry is not compact, I'm not surprised.

  • Finally finished....

    Was that built up by Condor? I'm sure i saw it awaiting collection.

    Enigma do full Ti forks for £200+

    Ha, I mean just imagine me riding a Langster or something...

  • Thanks for the compliment.

    The geometry is actually less tight than my previous pista for a bit more comfort on road.

    The guys at Condor put it together in the end rather than me forking out for a Royce BB tool.

    I have to say, compared to my Condor it rides like the roads have all been re-surfaced.

  • Nice Burls

    Condor need to hold back on the spacers, every bike that comes out of there is over-spaced :)

    they do that to give you leeway and you can try out different heights and then cut down the steerer to the desired length.

  • True, but not many bankers cut carbon steerers ;)

    Fail rate for carbon steerers increases with overspacing

  • Finally finished....

    thats making me really excited for mine, hopefully i will hace mine finished by mid december or early january

  • We do the same thing at BC with the spacers, but offer to cut it down for them when they come in for their first free check up. Seems to work ok, as there is nothing more depressing then cutting your fork too short and being stuck with it that way forever.

    Bankers would obviously have the shop cut them.

    Got the stats for that failure rate claim then?

    Who needs stats. An irrational fear of carbon failure seems to be enough for most people.

  • the new frame has been finished 4 weeks ahead of schedule!!

    im very excited, but i dont have the money to buy the forks or any of the parts :(

  • there is nothing more depressing then cutting your fork too short and being stuck with it that way forever.

    Really? Nothing more depressing?

    I beg to differ...


    ;-

  • Is that your Wilier?

  • Was...

  • Sad. Crash or carbon rot?

  • PM'd.

  • what the hell happened, gutted for you

  • Ouch, that poor Willer! What happened?

  • Ouch, that poor Willer! What happened?

    'Wilier'
    White van, basically.
    Drove across the main road right in front of me...

  • Bloody hell mate, hope you're alright thought, better the bike than you.

  • Coming from you that doesn't exactly surprise me.
    Still needless and unfunny.

  • You ok? Did you get the fucker's details? Getting a new one?

  • Coming from you that doesn't exactly surprise me.

    Hahahahahaahaha. Even through the internet, I can smell the hypocrisy.
