This frame is gorgeous! Gliko is like SL ?

It’s kind of custom drawn in various areas, like the Colnago Tecnos. The downtube notably is like a squashed diamond shape. Cheers Gaston, I’m really happy at the moment. A lot of Fanini’s are licensed Alan duralinox frames, some with crazy spray paint finishes. When Fanini, erm… pull their finger out on steel frames they are full of lovely little details. Seen a panto stem I fancy, but that’ll be next month!

Had this a few months now. First plan was to get a full respray and chuck a load of DA on it but the chips and the remains of Max's rattle job should stay I feel, plus then I'd be too precious about riding it. So for now it's going to stay roughly as is other than having the wheelset rebuilt and the gear being changed as although it's fun in town and wheelies easily, it's spinny as fuck.

So minimal

Has anyone got suggestion for silver, not awful looking, cheap cross top brake levers? Or even better, does someone want to sell me the above? (Posted to Leeds)

Tektros are cheap, some call them nasty but I like some of their cross top options.

silver, not awful looking, cheap cross top

Tektro RL720 (24mm) or RL721 (31.8) are cheap and available in all silver if you shop around, you'll need to come to your own conclusion about whether they defy the odds and don't look awful but they're no worse than any other cross-top.

Eee SHOTS FIRED

Some wacky angles going on here but last night I moved my light from being mounted on top of the rack (where it's angle was limited by the back of the housing hitting the basket) to below the rack.

10/10 wire routing too.

Finally got my dream bike.
