In other news.....

As others have said. Well done, that took ages but it sounds like a helluva bike.

Now ride, ride ride, (and take some nice pics of it too please).

:)

need to change a couple of bits, pedals for a start. In winter I'll put off road tyres, brake and mudguards and it will be my getting to work in the snow bike. Great fun :)

Forum ride to Norway?

We'll be there at christmas time: Snow Ride!

Hello guys just finished my colnago and half way for my rossin since some parts didnt came on time ;( but here's the final setup for my colnago

+1 to the fireworks- looks great SF, looking forward to the ride reports.

I ordered some new cranks for the System Six, should I get standard or ceramic BB bearings?

dont bother... had enough of the Sram RED ceramic BB and its special grease requirements. I have found the lower spec force bb to have much better weather seals and spin much better over a longer period. Save the cash for something more important/ benificial.

^^

i couldn't confine it to my pants :(

that Colnago belongs in porn

fugking stunning-well done +73

That Colnago is one of the nicest bikes I have seen. Ever.

Is that the Campag saddle you can pump up?

Does it work?

+1 (If only a blue hue)

Yes its pneumatic Campy electa , i've try to pump it with blood preasure pump since the original one is missing , the surface is harder after pump but it didnt work with the electa on my rossin , my guess is the air bag inside is didnt work anymore..

Cool.

Lovely bikes.

Then ride it with one of those inflatable shorts...

I think that steel is the way to go after doing a little research.

My frame is BB30, so the cups are the bottom bracket shell, in a way, so it's not a great idea to replace the bearings every month as some have had to do with the Cannondale ceramic bearings.

And this decision saves me £40- which is nice.

my old forks (previously nuknow's) on plastic pedals bike! great to see them being used again. + bike looks really fun to ride

^this. That bike looks like an absolute blast!

Ceramic bearings are fecking hard. If the BB is poorly designed. They will trash it. Cup/bearing alignment is more important than bearing material. So if you needed to go for a non-cannondale BB to get relible ceramics. You'd want to be bloody sure they would fit with at least as good tolerances as the stock dales.

Realised I never got round to posting this up. Bike I put together for commuting on this summer.

Really enjoy riding it but I think it'll have to go soon to make way for something a bit more practical once the weather starts to turn...

I really love that Rossin frame!

Why does it only shows the link instead of my pictures?

Becuase they're too big to embed

Pictures are bigger than 1024 x 1024

I think
