I'm probably going to get a Hirame crack pipe eventually anyway, when I get some new wheels.

Lordy!

Lordy!

That's what I thought when I accidentally stumbled on it while searching for Hirame frames. The logo script is actually the same as on my Hirame frame, which suggests that it might also come out of the Kuwahara factory.

Since this morning, SKS^ have exonerated themselves, admirably! They have offered to send me a replacement head and hose that works better with presta. I always loved their mudguards. Now I love Nadine at SKS too. And I think I'm going to love my track pump when i get a good connection sorted with the valve.

skully and pump love

so great a potential for inuendo

so... about those pictures of Mather Decals... that's not your frame is it? Just some inspiration? Some people were posting as if it's yours...

Jame, your a Civil Servant right? Does that mean i am paying for all your Rapha, Titanium Fetish, and top end coffee kit?

They are pictures of Robin Mather's own bike. James has been getting excited over the photos in preparation for his own which Mather should be making next.

In your endo.

Should I get my Cannondale painted black? I've been tempted to get it painted a more low-key colour then maybe replace the decals ontop of the new colour.

no no no no!!

I'm actually a little disappointed you're not Uncle Ben, i could see you in a crew with Colonel Sanders throwing chicken legs at people whist styling out your fixieskids

This could look awesome.

Would have to be matt black + grey decals though I reckon.

He used to call himself that a long time ago. If you were he, you'd have got the reference. And you wouldn't have said lol, one would assume.

didn't know that, thanks for the information

lol

That is a cool combo but I think it would be too modern. I think it'd have to be a normal glossyish black with white decals. I also like the idea of a gunmetal finish with polished decals, so like cut out so the lettering is actually the aluminum underneath.

That could also be nice.

I always loved DMCs gunmetal bike. Can't remember what it was now. Had red rims.
