nice and simple, i like it

36 spokes flailing away in the breeze are going to kill any speed you've gained with the tyres...

Which is a bad thing for training wheels, why?

For a budget track tubular, I'd take the Vittoria Pista CS, which is only £5-£10 more than the Milano.

Strange, because I would avoid them like the plague. Once of the worst made tubs I have ever tried.

Just seems odd to put a super fast tyre on a slow wheel. If they're for making life hard in training, why not go for Zaffiros?

I bow to your superior knowledge, I was basing my judgement on hearsay rather than personal experience. I gave up tubs many years ago, and if I ever go back it will only be on the basis of having more money than sense and I'll be picking over the nuances between different tyres from FMBoyaux.

Treated myself to a nice set of wheels for the Bob Jackson

shallow rims on classic lugged

scuse my ignorance but arent they tubs?

Are they Dr. Chan's Atlantas?!? Was it you KC??

dibs

i don't why, but every front wheel at that bob j. looks like a 26".

Was it made for 27" wheels?

BJ Vigorellis are track/path frames build for mudguard clearence. And then some.

bj vigorellis are grasstrack frames actually

kingcutter, good look

Finally got going on the Gitane CHrono+ frame I picked up of our own White Flower last year. Its been pimped round the forum a fair bit before, this F+F. It's going to be a training machine so not bothered that its a little heavy (Columbus Cromor) and looks wac.

Found a use for a 1" carbon fork I've had kicking about for a bit. Better clearances (chrome one marked 700C but brake drop seemed large) and 300g lighter... ...should be rideable this week.

Sorry bout pics light was failing.
