this looks incredible. linky to more pics please!

"Cheeky" Holdsworth on the butcher's block....

Look somebody's gonna say something and it might as well be constructive.

The colour I could live with - hell it might even turn out nice - if it was being built up with parts symathetic to the frame. But those rank white deep Vs + 700C instead of 27" giving massive clearances = generally antiporn.

It's not too late to sell those wheels to a hipster and build the (lovely) frame up nicely. I'm not sayin' it shouldn't be fixed, just could turn out looking much, much better.

Or if that don't float your boat, sell the frame on here and buy a cheap modern frame like a langster or plug to stick your wheels on.

New frame.

i started to take off the "miche Pista WR" stickers from the wheels. The stickers left alot of glue. I must "spray" the glue out of the front wheel. Meanwhile the HED wheel will do the job.
The new carbon components reduced the bike weight in 345gr

ps: to all the people who know this bike a little more gray... this gray changes alot (sun/shadow)

We don't want carbon, we want

Any air hardening current projects going on?

Well I have an 853 Rourke track bike, it's not much of current project though. I did change the BB and chainset last week and I'm sorting out a new headset but I don't think that counts enough to be posting up new photos

post it

Just for you MDCC Tester my 853 pro team Vincitore, though I thought you were all about the modern and were'nt interested in these antiquated materials?

Anyway here's my effort, I've had it since last summer but the good folk at Brixton cycles cut down the steerer for me last week so that for me counts as if its had some recent work. Sorry for rubbishly lit bedroom pic but its dark out now and by the time daylight comes I reckon we'll be on 854 and the moment will be lost.
