i want a DEALWITHIT sticker in the specialized font. who could help me? will pay

BMX pedals and a mudguard! I can see why you need the sticker

If you can see past 'period correct' gumwalls, try Veloflex Master (cheapest £30 at Planet X). They're light, grippy and fast and they look right, they're not particularly sturdy or hard wearing but they behave much like a decent tubular. I've put them on the Goff for summer use.

found the right humbrol colours to re furb the tri color gruppo


should be finished soon

Paint codes of those humbrols please?

What you all know about these?

I have to get tubs for the saronni build, if I were using Vit's I'd go to Decatholn, they are 16-17 euro's a tyre there

That's not a tubular

so it isn't

My Colnago is finally rideable after months of finding and saving for parts.

Not quite finished, there's a few parts I still need to source/change and might go 8speed at some point in the future too, but I like riding SS so will sick to that for now.

Have you got magnets installed on the saddle nose?

The bike looks sad

Vivalo looks great Swedee! I might be able to help you with stickers. I have some yellow vinyl at the moment too that looks like a pretty close colour match.

Testing out a new front end. Swapped the 1" threadless set up for a threaded set up with some 1" steel track forks that came on a Tokyo Fixed frame and quill stem. The silly narrow hipster bars will be swapped, it's just the only bars I had lying about which were 25.4. Next job on the list is paint.

Shite phone pictures...

now,

Looked better before IMO.

I like it with the quill stem, but would be great if the forks were matching red, as TM said.

What about some horizontal straps? always found those diagonal ones awkward.

That is a perfect frame win perfect wheel set.

Gears are a necessity.

That is a perfect frame with the perfect wheel set.

Gears are a necessity.

That 'Nago is lush, saddle angle sorted and some gears and it'd be perfect.

But bikes are made to be ridden and if that's how it's best enjoyed, so be it!

Cut me some slack dude, the saddle hadn't even been set up at that point.

That'll teach me for being hasty with my photo taking aha.

nice looking frameset

^^ I said it in as nice a way as I could! ; )

It is a lovely bike and its got some sexy accessories. Enjoy it and ride it as much as you can.

+great photography too

very good composition, mines always pony (
Is that one of those slr types?
I have to get a new camera, dropped the other and my bb's worse than my compositon

^ 'bro' is kind of like 'mate' but for americanised hipsters; Kind of like a pabst version of 'fam', It has its roots in predominantly black culture but has been appropriated by the white middle class. Wear a checked shirt to a Bodeans and you will hear this address being used in the wild.

Round my endz everyone has been saying Bro forever, at least since the 80's that I can remember. But it has its routes in people of a Islamic sort of background calling everyone "Brother". I got into the habit of saying because I have gone to school and also go to gym's with these sorts.

But when switching to "white middle class" social settings and I drop the "Bro" bomb, chortles and snickers all round like I am some kind of fucking Guido.

+great photography too

Thank you :)

Aha yes I use a dslr. Probably slightly unnecessary with the quality of some of these little digital cameras now, dslr's can be a bit of faff if I'm honest.
