R those tires Michelin Erilium?

Yeah, Love that gum wall!

and also can someone tell me what happened with this headset ? It looks wrong (gaps above and below) but I don't know semi-integrated/integrated stuff...

The gap at the bottom is because the crown race has not been tapped all the way down and the gap at the top looks like it has the wrong bearing or something bad!

You don't know what you're on about.

When I rode metal clips, tried shimano and campagnolo. They would cut into my feet, and were not very secure. Perhaps things would be different if you had the type of shoes designed for the pedals.

I was exaggerating about the disaster it shouldve probably read:

No Braks + Traditional Steel Clips = No Fun

update on the pinkbike...

badass pink colour:

horizontal dropouts for SS'ing

Strong as hell and matching pink Cro-mo on-one fork

that takes disc and V brakes with loads of clearance for the 2.35's big apples that will be plugged in to it!

literally one rear wheel and some disc pads away from completion

I like my clear grips :)

& I know what your saying about double straps but the campy clips only have a slot for single.

that's fine, you can run double with a single cage, especially with something like this;

don't spout till you taste it.

You might want to do that chain thing too...

Virgil, excellent choice on the Big Apple.

balloon tyres ftw
picked this up recently, rare quadraspoke design, and with swept back bars its gonna make one sick fixie when complete.

bigtwin I have a chain, what i meant was left to purchase is a rear wheel and pads, but I appreciate and thank you for quoting my post so the pink gets spread all over this page.

And ed, read something you wrote a while ago about big apples and thought, it was just what this bike needed!

What's not to like. Thank heavens I didn't even go to grips! Actually, hate you as just sold my Apples on here as wouldn't clear my frame, having passed up a free on-one on basis that thought they would and couldn't be arsed to strip other frame. Njoy.

You listened to me?

Are you mad?

Have I listened to Ed and taken his advice on something that may endanger my health and safety?

Yes

Am I a little bit drunk on excellent local cider?

Yes

Didn't they have your size in stock?

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this but I wanted to share.
This is my winter bike - it will be ridden.

respect for riding in winter in New Hampshire

Didn't they have your size in stock?

forgive me, but why do you think is it the wrong size?

a guess would be the short stem.

Done!

really nice ride mate

a guess would be the short stem.

i see where your coming from, might just be his preference to have a short one, although i agree and would personally 100mm stem and if needed shorten the tt. but then i would also have drops on it and make a other things different

Finito

Is that bare metal or powder coated?
