Psee what wheels/seatpost/bars/tyres are they?

Look like PX wheels?

Thanks fellas. Pretty happy with it.

Tendergroin, PX AL30 Wheels, China Crabon post & bars, Vittoria Corsa Evo tyres.

Finished! I deplore the clearance of the fork, because I can't put my front sks.

current daily..

mishmash of parts and nearly done just gotta tilt that saddle back a degree or so and sort out the bars.

Sadly the stem is utterly blocked and a little too short for me to be riding drops so I'm trying out other things. The last three weeks I rode some cheap ugly BLB bullhorns, and the bike is pretty awesome set up that way, I'm just waiting on some RB-001s to try out. In the mean time figured I'd cut down and try out this riser for a week, if the snow stops falling enough.

Love this! What do you mean stem is blocked? Stuck? Of so just cut if off and pop the forks in caustic soda for a couple of weeks.

But what you lose in dry feet you gain in having a great looking fork

Right de-stickering the fulcrums and ordering some tan wall tyres next month.

Totally stuck yeah. It's had weeks sat upside in all manner of stuff, it's been whacked, shouted at, sobbed in front of.. no budging. Not tried cola or anything more caustic like that yet and if it rides nice (it does) then I'm loathe to start chopping bits up - this is a steel stem (Nitto Jaguar Steel) which would be a real pain in the ass to cut (and a shame too).

By all rights it ought not seize (certainly not in the same manner as an aluminium stem), and the ways to unseize it may be different too. To be honest I think the previous owner tightened it so far that it's deformed the fork slightly and it's in there for good bar getting a hacksaw blade down there.

new project.....

Yeeaahh! Look 595 forum ride? Can pretend we are a pro team innit

I am team leader though, and you will do as I say, or I will bully you, and force feed you EPO. And then deny it, and sue if I have to.

Does anyone have a magnet from a garmin cadence sensor with mount/one that goes on your pedal spare they can sell?

I picked up a sensor cheap but it came as the sensor only

Use a ½" diameter disc magnet attached to the end of the pedal spindle; much neater.

Read about those, how deep will it need to be to get close enough?

• 1 what Tester said Neodymium Disc Magnet .. bit of epoxy if you've got Ti spindles
  

The field strength is huge compared with the tiny Garmin iron magnet, so it doesn't need to be that close. I'm using the ⅛" thick ones, but I'm pretty sure thinner ones would work, as they're cheap you might as well get one of each thickness and just use the thinnest one which works reliably.

cheers, ordered 1/8 and a 1/16

why obviously? looks hot

Pistoffski, if you ever want to sell that bar/lever setup let me know. :)

They belong on my track bike... Would build some other wheels for this. fork is mismatched so it'd probably be re-sprayed too.

A slate grey straight unicrown fork would look alright...seen any for sale anywhere?

you can clamp on the threaded bit.

Picked up this Marsini frameset and Alpina TT seatpost at absolute bargain prices at the Manchester Cycle Jumble yesterday. Wasted no time building it up once I got home. Still a couple of bits I want to change etc but pretty happy with it, and I think it looks great!

Don't know if anybody could shed any light on the frameset? Had a quick google but cant really find much information. ta!

Snowy picture of my Vigorelli, found a 25mm Chris King spacer, I'll cut the 1cm above the stem of soon. Will also change de 10 degree stem for a 0 degree one.

The trick to taking bike photos is do it from further away and zoom in, if you've got room... Makes everything line up and look, well, right...

So you only see one side of it, can't think of the right word for it.

depth of field

Hehe you're right, I'll try this evening.
