Are three of the nicest tall-person bikes I have ever seen!

what about london roads? at times its like riding off road.

It isn't really though is it.

It does look like a very big single ring on Jammy's intercontinentalbike. You can get 44t 144bcb rings which may mean more riding around the middle of the cassette.

Why thankyou. I do try

you ride in the same london as me?

They weren't that bad when I rode there yesterday. A little rough in places but better than other cities I've been to and not even half deserving of a mountain bike.

you ride in the same london as me?

You riding the same off-road as me?

im not saying its like riding down a dirt road, but i do hit potholes and have to swerve out of very uneven surfaces. just swapped to a 1/10 gear set up. would it be best to have bash guard ect.......the answer seems to be no......

and i have been riding bmx / trails /dirt since i was 10....... im sure its not quite the same.......but close.

^^ It depends on your chainline, chain tension and other things. Make sure your B screw is set right.

tl:dw

Here is just one of many websites out there on the subject of filling holes.

:)

ha ha, you must be on the roads with the filled holes. the gods of tarmac must be on your side........

set up seems to be good so far......will just ride it and see how it goes.

New bars fitted.. Not had time to wrap hence makeshift TT protector...

Nice, man. Those T2s look good. Nice and comfy?

How you getting on with the HED 3 rear?

I count this ride of spotter's as a tall bike, a fucking sexy at that

Cheers. The bars are a really good shape, never really used the middle section on my airwings, just stuck to the extensions, but the aero profile makes these realllly comfortable in that position, so should be good for longer rides. Need to get them wrapped really don't agree with untaped bars, just been working all the time...

Rear is alright... Just wearing out a rando on it which isn't helping the speed side of things... This was taken on the way home from work the other morning, had to swap Corima out (I work at a hospital, not sure about leaving a bike with a Cunt. sticker in the racks...) Actually quite like the shallow front and hed rear look... Twin Hed should be coming this week, need to procure a fat Sharpie and get colouring....

no drive side post yet as got ugly cranks on waiting for new cranks
thomson still in post and dont no if i should keep saddle or change it

Is it in danger of going anywhere near a track?

Could you take one from further away, the bike is blocking my view of that industrial ghost town.

new tarck, cheers for the wheels B&D

Still need new stem, bars and seatpost.

No worries - looking good!

Can I have first refusal to buy them back if/when you decide you don't need them?

course! don't think that will be happening soon though :)

I was thinking a couple of years at least.

Best wheels I ever had.

My 4-coloured Pinarello

full Shimano 600 Ultegra Tricolore gruppo except Seatpost and Stem, but it fits the colors of the bike.
Dunno if i shall replace it with a Dura Ace 7400 maybe? Campagnolo? Suggestions?

That little giant is hot.

thanks
its a 57cm frame. I'm 6'2'' but I've short legs and long arms XD

... and dont no if i should keep saddle or change it

Probably just needs levelling off.
