the Honjos definitely represent a biting of the bullet. I shall not be regretting them though, unless I can't fit them between my close-clearance skeleton brakes and the 25mm tyres (though I'm assured it's possible). They're really well made and light too. mine are the non-fluted narrow versions.

Definitely a biting the bullet time, I bought a pait of c-record pista cranks for the same price I paid for the mud-guards the same week, but they are definitely worth the money. I have never seen people so interested in mud-guards before, me included, they are quite a focal point.Looking forward to seing yours built up, I'm sure it's gonna look very classy.

Love those Honjos, might get them for my Raleigh when I pimp it for the Tweet Run.

I think I am getting there now I wish I had laid it out in a picture first though.

Waheyy! That's looking funky fresh KC - good work.

the front wheel looks like a 26 with these fork. and the stem is really loooong

[OMG WTF]...yeah the wheels look really round too. too round! and what the fuck are those metal bits coming out the rim the shiny ones [/OMG WTF]

you could always take all the parts off and start again,,, easy.

then do a single frame animation (is that what its called) of all the components going on...........

think of the big propz, do it!

@ Superprecise claps

and the stem is really loooong

So? Clearly put there for the right fit.

Yes it's called the low pro effect takes years to master.

Nice work KC.

How many 14-ish cm 1A stems with wrapped handlebars do you have?
I cannot imagine that you spoil another set of bar tape each time you change the colours/setup.

Scared sh******** about cutting down my Maes handlebars to make bullhorns, any tips?

Working on Ribble TT frame and Carbon forks that I got from ebay (boo hiss) will be great when I pluck up the courage to chop the stubbies!

The secret is I dont tear off the sticky strip till I know I am going to keep it on.

You could do the same with the red stripe on the seat tube...

don't be silly, he doesn't ride them.

I think it looked better with the brown regal. Maybe go for the brown suede finish fizik bar tape to get a better match to the saddle?

why?? he's only gonna sell it

I'll have it off him for £10

£25

Mystery road/path frame.
I just need some french threaded pedals, bb nipple, seatpost bolt and white cloth bartape to finish.
If I can find out who made the frame, i'll get it refinished in more period colours.

^ whats the stem?

really nice
