Great stable!

With the collective excessive steerer you could scaffold a house project.

I've got a tip for BB issues which has held me in good stead, 'ride through it, it'll go away'. So far, no problems 👍🏻

Thanks babes!

I'm going to reply to your snark in all seriousness. Steerer on the SuperSix is going this afternoon, but then probably not dropping much as ideally I would move up 2 frame sizes.

Otherwise, my LBS has a bunch of low stack headsets for me, so it'll be a no steerer zone ASAFA

srsly great stable. Tumblr would bang.

Need to paint the mash decals (primer grey) and then will try and take some proper glamour shots. Need to buy a 2016 S6 and get it painted up really, but I need loads more money.

I kind of fancy getting back in to Tumblr, might reactivate my old acc

There are a number of other options. Mostly 3 speed Sturmey's though. But they've got a decent range and go for ages with little to no maintenance. Its not a bad option but I always found the gear jumps way too big and the drive feels clunky compared to single gear.

The W in AW stands for wide. If you want to go racing, the medium range AM or close ratio AC are a better choice. The AC is like having a 3-speed dérailleur with 14/15/16 sprockets

I knew you were going to say that.

You never fail to amaze tester!

Is that the statue in front of the Observatory?

For a multi-speed hub I always recommend older F&S.

That's the chap, Wolfey.

Got a bit bored and had a fork with a terrible Matt black spray paint job so I thought I'd try a little homage to Death Spray Custom. Surprisingly didn't turn out terrible.

putting the death spray logo on them probably isn't the best idea

Your right, although it's not painted on just a sticker that I already had on there. Gonna take it off and come up with something personal instead.

Looks well nice. How much to do up my Dolan? Similar stencils but different colour combination.

Haha trust me, you do not want to pay me to do any painting period. This was just a couple of hours fun with some paint pens ,no stencils involved. I started by using masking tape but between the time it took and the paint bleeds I gave up so just drew it on with pencil first.

I don't think you could fit that onto a Dolan FXE without some bodged up cable guide, the 2 speed has no cables so would work, still wouldn't recommend one over a normal hub though, just flip the wheel

So this just happened... It's going to be a full Campy SR Pista gruppo build for occasional sunny rides but mostly a wall hanger.
