Current Projects chat and miscellany

Wood that be a good idea or would I get some stick for it?

Nice, plans?

Put an 'AerospOAK' decal on it and I'm sure they'd leaf you alone.

I don't really know yet I have some spare dura ace hubs (high and low flange) as well as anodized rigida rims, a nitto sp72, a black chris king, a nitto m196 and a 3t titanium stem

hahaha would rep

Hmm, only had a mild shower over here.. Today is horrible though!

I might be selling it. Give me a shout if interested!

Nah, got enough projects at the moment. Feel free to tempt me with sizing and prizing though :)

I hadn't twigged that that was a possibility. Maybe I should branch out into a new design of wheel.

Looks like it's in pristine condition, good find. I'm not even gonna ask about the price tag on that. The ones sold over the last few months have been ridiculously overpriced.

Did lol!

Serious bike envy right now (in a good way)! Congrats and enjoy, looks like loads of fun.

Honestly I'm pretty stoked about it, just waiting for the big old hope order to go through.

It's such an upgrade from my last santacruz even though that felt like the ultimate bike back when I bought it.

Planning to just spend this summer camping out of a van and riding bikes.

Awesome, sounds like an excellent way to spend summer! (might be slightly envious)

A few tweaks: Campione del Mondo bars changed to Giro D'Italia, saddle changed to a Romin (not 100% sold on it, wings are a bit wide and chafe a bit), 25 year old 20c tyres swapped to more sensible GP4k IIs. Gave the frame a good clean and a wax for good measure.

copped some S Works lo-rise handlebars from ebay and cleaned it up a bit, rides great!

Super rad. Im jelly of that frame

I think black cranks and a slim saddle would top it off for me

Well done, we should organise a common ride with LeSournois when you will be back..

Found myself some italian branded MTB today, as picked up:

Also receive this in the mailbox

So good! I really want a steel Force. My al Force is uncomfortable, but in a similar config as yours... Let me know if you're getting rid of it ;)

After all this time I've spent on it can't see it going any time soon soz. Test ride today, all the changes have come together really nicely and it's sprightly but solid to ride. Just waiting on 44t NW to finish it off (42 sold out everywhere in 130)

I'm very pleased it went to you and it's getting used so much. Looks good man

I think you're right, but it came with those parts so not inclined to swap just yet. Although the mrs' Rapha Condor has black 75s on it and she doesn't care as long as it rides nice so might politely swap over.

Aye cheers for sending it my way, it's been quite a journey so far and hoping it will accompany me on a few adventures in the future. Really does ride terrific.

Perfect, do it!

Slowly assembling my new Vagabond. Just need to swap some parts around and then mudguards and a front rack.
