of you could just get some new ones for £35 odd https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-shifters-rapidfire-trigger/?brand=sunrace

Sunrace shifters works just fine imo.

thumbs up

I actually quite like that green

I don't mind the green itself but imo it's a nice colour for functional bikes, not so much for hhs-ish bikes. And I don't like the fact that it has no decals.
p.s. the geo seems similar to your elin.

How about a level saddle too?

That stem is awesome. I'd take it if I were you.

I am defeated.
:(

Thats a lot of rubber to be pushing around all week. For a work bike I'm all about comfort but that level of drag would kill me. Kojaks are popular with messengers here. +1 on small frames.

My entire cbd is criss crossed with tram tracks so you couldn't get much more wet metal to navigate. I had to work on my cross bike with 'commuter tread' the other day and it sucked. Was glad to be back on slicks. All personal preference. I'm lazy and wanna roll as effortless as possible. Peace

bought myself a seqouia - which racks will fit. Pizzarack have an issue with tilting up. Suggestions?

The seqouia isn't designed for a front rack; the fork will fit bottle cages or anything cages which you can use with dry sacks. I've seen someone on Facebook who bodged a Surly Nice rack onto it but if you want serious front loading you should've bought an AWOL

If you have the steel fork version; anything goes of course

New fat tyres. Pretty much done except I'm waiting on a double seatpost clamp as this one keeps slipping.

singlespeed cyclocross disc? That's something I haven't seen before.

Well @Thuekr has always been light years ahead of the rest

I'm only stretcing the tire, but it does look amazing. Wouldn't fit the bike anyway. But I did finally manage to get the vintage disc rebuilt and dished from 126mm 7sp to 120mm and ready for fixed cogs.

Here's the more intended setup mocked up. Pardon everything.

RIP Skovlos

Got the crappy disc hybrid up and running. It's hilariously/obnoxiously loud.
The black coating is just thin vinyl so will be stripped off the braking surface in one ride I think.
