that to me?

yeah.

this is for a frame i just paid for, but i don't like the forks so id like the ones from tokyo fixed instead, haven't even got them yet

whatcha git?

Riser time, and much nicer ride now!

taking a break from drop bars my self... sorting out a good gear for 660 sprints

shop told me 80 GI...

what size frame atre they going on? i have the TF ones (assuming you mean the chrome action threaded forks) that im replacing with my original forks soon...

53cm frame

do you know how much steerer you need? my frames 52x51 so it might work

not yet no, but i can get back to you when i get the frame, its not urgent, just for aesthetics

actually i got a question if you already have those forks, whats the clearance like? id like to fit 25c's

i run 25c gators fine, i think you'd fit 28c no problem too.

cool just let me know

A&P that new frame of yours has really nice forks! whats wrong with them?

Current project that I have done no spannering on but have been waiting very patiently for:

Geekhouse Brentwood which was featured on the Brooks stand at NAHBS and is now winging its way to me

I've wanted a Geekhouse since I first saw dogsballs' low pro years ago on here.. I ordered a low pro to start with but then realised that a geared and practical bike would actually be much better in hilly Sydney, so I've gone for an Alfine 11 and discs, as well as a touch of lairiness with the paint..

Can't bleeding wait!

Nice looking ride, custom racks or oem?

They're both velo orange.. One thing that I wish that I had asked for is to have a D-lock holder integrated into the front rack, like this

This is on the way to me

Got a Chorus RS group ready for it, but can't decide on the tape. I like red on a grey frame, but not so with the yellow decals.

Yellow is the obvious choice, but I saw this and thought "meh".

So black then?

Lovely. Lucky you.

The Joe Waugh? i guess i just want them to look a bit 'tighter' and to fit a larger tyre to.

Scilly Suffolk- maybe a yellow Flite or rolls could look good with yellow tape?

tape

red is faster
purple is braver

Pretty sure a yellow saddle would be OTT being as I'm not that keen on yellow tape, but I'll have a look for some builds with one. I was thinking of a black saddle with some yellow detail.

Sure everyone knows red is faster, but isn't purple more papal?

Did some front end adjustments to the BeeMC last night. Chopped a good 1/2" off the steerer, fitted original campag hoods, and rewrapped the bars. It now has a white'n'carbon saddle. So I was going to do the bartape in white 1.8mm lizard skins. But then I found some yellow 2.5mm lizards skins. Had a brain fart and decided to do the drops in thin white tape, and the tops in cushier yellow tape. Looks really silly. So I like it.

to use colour you need a clean build

They're both velo orange.. One thing that I wish that I had asked for is to have a D-lock holder integrated into the front rack, like this

That will rattle like a mother, even on the Globe with it's integrated D-lock hanger, it's very annoying.
