Ooops - hadnt even bothered reading down the rest of the thread - great minds and all that

hubbas hubbas hubbas;

I think the fork is a bit bent.

Hubba hubba indeed Eggwad! <3

i guess this is a project. well it was for the doctors.

had a car pull out on me and my elbow landed in a pothole.

OH HAI, Popeye

Ed, your Holdsworth looks like the TT is super long in relation to the ST, is it comfy? - good looking ride though

All black parts + any bright secondary colour* = piss-your-pants epic

*for the knowledge-impaired these are green, purple and orange

Light periwinkle blue?! What the fuck is Light periwinkle blue?** !

Light periwinkle blue?! What the fuck is Light periwinkle blue?!

Somewhere between Gorgeous Baby Blue™ and Cornflower, by the looks of it

actually the TT is 56cm, and the ST is 57, however the frame is somewhat unusual as the TT is slighty sloped upward, I think it's design for hill climb, or simply have the wrong fork (Hillary Stone said that the fork is probably not the original), it's nicely comfortable especially with 28c tyres (will get 30c Grand Bios soon).

Right now I got this just for now, super super comfortable;

thats the exact color i was thinking.

Fair play, light periwinkle blue is lovely.

Have you considered deep knickerbocker mauve?

thats the exact color i was thinking.

Me too, you described it well.

i'm very descriptive.

Those Argos forks look like something that frame would like.. :)

Looking at it from the front the tubing of the frame is thin and aero. I would guess it was build in the period Obree was active in hour-record'ing.. :)

Things to get-
Nitto Pearl
New pedals (these are fucked) some black Times
Was thinking of getting some Open Pros but the main reason I stuck with the CXP 12s is the feel of them. Nice and rigid but not overly stiff.
Maybe a Zen ring??!

Those cannondales look even fucked up-erer in that lanky size.

in the best possible way of course.

66cm yeah baby!

Max my dear boy, we need to put your 66cm behemoth alongside to the missus' tiny 48.5cm Bob Holiness.

Big Fucking 'dale!

That's great Max, what a treat. Isn't the stem too short though?
; )

(*amazing that you still need that much SP on a 66!!!cm frame...)

Mr.Edscoop, your 2 bikes posted are the shizzle!
I'm getting jealous.
Meh.

I rather like how this bike look;

so i ordered decals for my bike and got the silver outlined ones, no fill so the paint color serves as the filling color. they look like this, but the black is silver and the white is clear.

seeing that bike up there makes me think that a black frame with silver outlined decals might be pretty fucking sweet with all black parts.

My next build, looking for tatty track forks!

Things to get-
Lawnmower
Edgetrimmer
Varnish for shed
Maybe some scattered pots to soften the edges??!

Fixed!

but you have to rewrap it every five minutes, cos its too thick to stay all nice and wrapped up.
Most people you see riding with brooks tape have it all loose and comming off.

Wrapping bar tape fail.

If you put it on properly it stays on. You have to stretch it tight as you're going, and then you get a lovely neat end result which looks better, lasts longer and wears in a nicer way than any other tape.
