Ghetto £140 China beater.

Fugly welds and such. But feels pretty solid.

'very light 10.5kg'?! its a bargain but aint very light.

'Winzip' brakes! Takes me back. Does it have Limewire cables too?

I think you've done a great job with yours, and you can't really make out the welds in the picture.

Chain's a bit slack though! And are you thinking of changing the forks?

swapped in new built rear wheel, and a longer stem.
lots of fun to ride.

My HHSB has just had its winter filth taken off, now i'm off to town to get some new bar tape so i can treat it to its upgrade

Were you crossing the road just south of Southwark bridge yesterday?

I commute down that way, so very possibly. Hi!

Lots today/ yesterday.

Lots still to do.

"Finished" my Fuji. Maybe it still needs crabon fork. Also considering a different stem and bullhorns combination in the future.

S'nice.
Big drop.

Think it look very nice.

bullhorn may required a slightly shorter stem, or try brake hood lever as they're likely to be slightly cheaper.

As my Lo-Pro is going to be taking the role of super-sled in my stable I've decided to 'sensible-up' my previous HHSB a bit. Gave it a damn good clean, totaly stripped and re-oiled the chain and got the magic three; Bont bars, Fizik soft-touch and sram s500's.

Saddle position needs tweaking and I need a better stem too, I'm open to suggestions (must be 26.0mm though).

If anyone wants to do the biro spring trick on with the S500 levers I recommend taking the small side panel off first on the inside of the lever so you can cut the cable shorter and keep the whole movement inside the lever.

God damn that is nice. Well built. Now i want crabon forks and a fast front wheel too..

Spotter that looks sweet!

Some changes to the Dolan...

New bars, 3rd hand tape, and some brakes and levers i had lying about. Went on a killer hilly ride this afternoon and I've fallen in love with this bike. Such a nice ride, and so comfortable...

And sorry Regal, saddle is dead comfy I'll be keeping it on there.

^^that frame and groupset are a perfect aesthetic match imo

What length... I have Zipp one... 120mm though.

Sounds good but 120mm is way to long sorry, that current one is either 90mm or 100mm and its just about right.

Now lets see if we can change gear swiftly and smoothly at the front.

Treated myself to a Vigorelli frame with the 20% off Wiggle had over the weekend
