another fail, I never owned a kagero
plus nerged for patronising tone, just to piss you off a little

here you go, son, help yourself, never too late, you know!..

^didn't realise those kageros were so pricey, fuck that for one of the most boring framesets on the market

Is it bad i'm thinking about getting the Leader 722 Herritage in the future? i wont be proud of the name though...

I think it would be a strong play for you.

hey apollo, i was expecting you to come round nerging me for your offended friend a bit faster than that! you kids are like team, where were you for those long 32 minutes? )))))

Explain?

For Cross Check build: Hope Pro III / Mavic Open Pro Ceramic / DT Swiss wheels & Panaracer tyres. £130 off eBay.

Just need BB, cassette, chain and brakes...

Also, can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere which has Kool Stop or SwissStop V-brake pads in Green (or "Blue Sky" for SwissStop?) for ceramic rims, in stock and in the UK?

Bargain!

Bars & small parts box contents: Chris King pewter, Salsa pewter, XTR skewers, SRAM Force F&R, Cateye Strada, Fizik white tape, Thomson X2, Zipp Service Course... Along with the rest of the build as it stands right now.

That's a spoilt Surly!!

2 different stems there?

Older photo. X4 is on the Pompino now, and not using the Goldtec hub and spokes.

Looking good Chris, looking forward to final build photos.

The component spec is looking awesome!

Selling the x2?

If I did that I might have trouble steering this.

Thanks. It's gonna be sweet. Some parts are used second hand, some new second hand, and the other new stuff I only bought reduced in the sales. Total price so far for everything is £762 I think. BB, cassette, chain, brakes and pedals to finish it off. Will change the tyres, and want some Ringle or King bottle cages too. Have an Old Man Mountain rack for later, which I need to get some bags for.

Any one here use a Flip-flop fix-fix hub? Just wondering if its worth having one

The fuck is that?

I have used a fixed/fixed, a fixed, and a fixed/free (aka a flip flop).

Goldtec for sale?

How often do you swap between two gears? If it's more than a couple of times a year, a double-fixed hub might be worth having. Since they build symmetrical wheels, it's never a disadvantage to have one even if you don't use the other side, and it's always there as a spare in case you strip the first side.

Why buy a hub with one set of threads, when you can have two sets for the same price and weight.

Can I just say, nice Cross Check Chris. Nice to see you bought the fastest colour.

Cheers man. Can't wait to get it up and running.

Goldtec for sale?

Not for the moment. Wanted to try and find a rim for it and maybe practice building it up myself.

Cross check is lovely. Have you got a thread for the build?

That Surly looks like it's going to be great.
