my city bike. équipated with french designer mavic and a go sport riser black version very rare.

It was all going so well. :(

well that's a mess. Fancy selling me the Mavic groupset?

I love it.

And I love these little visits from the french.

I tried nitto s66 but so much short position :( . cheers

Don't forget the new H+Son Archetype which is as wide as the TB14 but in a lovely aero shape.

Unless I needed the shiny shiny option, Id go Mavic.

Mavic not as wide sadly.

go sport riser black version very rare.

The world would be a better place if it were extinct

Are they doing silver CXP-33's again? They were impossible to get hold of new ones last year

I think I am in love with this, shame about the risers at least get shiny ones

Just about finished, undecided on the porteurs, need a dif stem anyway as its shimmed to buggery at the mo. Got some drops I'll prob use instead(also taped white cloth)
Taurus frame w/campy headset from Jogger
Campag hubs, Ascent rims
I had the Zaffiros lying around but will get something nicer for summer when funds allow
TA chainset 47-18, might go 19 on the back to tuck the rear wheel in a little tighter and to save my knees, nos TA cups and axle
Gr9 pedals/blb clips and straps which have lasted a couple of years and are fine
Dia-compe clamp on brake
Brooks I chopped from a complete wreck years ago and feeling wonderful
600 seatpost

Still need to give the hubs a service and would like an 1/8" ta ring in 47t ideally to beef up the drivetrain as my cog could do with replacing as well.

I absolutely LOVE this!!

Now we can just pretend its work in progress

AFAIK, the 2012 one is only in black.

No, the current ones are black/MSW only. I had to get a pair of silver ones from Starbike at the end of 2010 as all the UK retailers were already only carrying the black version. Super annoying because they're fantastic rims and look great de-stickered.

I'd still have them over the H+Son, personally.

Im thinking I might get H+Sons as my next rim probs the mirrored super deep section I need more hipster on my bike

this?

probs, I think they will match the silver bits on the woundup track fork I also cannot afford

Now we can just pretend its work in progress

It still is ;)
Need a slightly longer seatpost as it's about 10mm short and I don't want to go past the limit mark. Also want a longer stem for the drops I've got on it right now. It's pretty fun with the porteur bars but I'm used to riding with drops and Weinmann levers so will prob only put the porteurs on for lazy rides. XH was calling for a front rack but being undrilled and with a short front end I think I'd end up eating pavement pretty quickly.
Also need to go 1/8" drivetrain still.
Anyone got a 27mm seatpost(something nice and with a bit of length) they want to sell? Campag would be nice ;)

Wait this is confusing two people claiming the bike is theirs??

I thought you were referring to McFaulonBikes post about my purple Taurus?
If not meh. Who cares.

can you not see the picture in the post?

It was supposed to be this

It comes from a long line of ridiculous builds, remember.
