Nope! I'm just shining a light on the carbon weave which you must follow young padawin...

Finally got my favourite frame built up again:

The glossy black tape looks insanely tacky and I regret going for it but it does match my glossy black Sidis so I guess I can live with it. I have a brake and hoods to be fitted but need a shorter stem first (they will be on different bars with more reach). It will also be getting a Spinergy then as it's the only wheel I own with a braking surface.

Incidentally a wet rush hour was probably not the wisest time for MyFirstRoadPedals® but my feet seem to have learned to clip in pretty quickly which I'm putting down to the abject fear.

can't find any info online

Because there isn't any, i.e. nothing to worry about on

They probably warrantied a few which got broken by twats using track frames on the road. At this stage in the history of crabon fribé, I think I'd trust a monocoque fork more than a built-up carbon/Al job.

^^ Love that.

You not bringing Les to the seaside?

^^Thanks, so do I :)

I named it SIEGFRIED VON ALLEN.

Malaysian yes I am, this is not HHSB it is totally sensible bike.

Glad to hear it.

^^That was the last year.

Owen snapped his

owen could snap anything. will keep a close eye on them, and not jump off any curbs.

He did frequently do endos on it. And crash. And he's owenreed.

Original ones were drilled, replacements weren't. He probably still has them.

The glossy black glossy black. I have hoods fitted need shorter surface.

Incidentally a wet rush, MyFirst feet putting down fear.

FTFY

I think it comfortably slots into the S & M category.

Never had something I wrote turned into avant-garde BDSM poetry before, not sure how I feel about this.

Why is it a secret?

very nice, cheers. i've been using an Acor 4 piece shim (http://www.dotbike.com/p/8056) - dearer and and it's an absolute pain in the arse to install :(

2 piece makes much more sense.

Just picked this up, 653 frame, mostly Dura Ace....

Are the DT shifters 8 speed? put me on the list for buyers if you want to use brifters.

Cheers; I usually work with maps and furniture.

Well got something new ... couldn't stop myself :(
way too small for me though.

NOS Somec with Columbus EGO tubing ... i guess it's from the mid nineties. Has XL91 stamped in the BB, but I don't think EGO was around in '91.

Noticed the Rolls on my Concorde was a bit discolored, now i know why...

So i stripped it.

Doing that made me want do change some other things on it. Does someone have some black grips or a 110 BCD 46/47 chainring lying around for cheaps?

On a scale 1-10 how bad will the test-drive be with this seat?

Wow

Moldy Rolls is yuckie.. Anyways, profile now looks weird, and not to comfortable, but one can only test right?

Schnitter, that Somec is off the charts.. Off-the-charts.. Wow..

wow what size is that ?

needs risers and crabon

Just completed, saddle/rack angle need a little adjustment.

Unsure of the frame maker, apparently from mosquito bikes in early 90's made from 531st. Fitted with Sora/105. Will be taking me on my summer holiday this year if everything goes to plan.

Taking shape
