Reflectors in a campy wheel set. First for me :D

My Pinarello Asolo and my '77 mercier, fully renovated

That Pinarello is fabulous

^this, awesome looking bike.

Is the rear brake cable a bit short though?

Love that Pinarello. Very tidy.

Is it? look fine to me.

It sort of adds to the sweden theme. Safety first! ;)

Yeah you're right, it looks short, but it works fine. Thanks for the comments anyway ;)

His stuff is great, but I have totally given up trying to buy stuff from him due to the communication issue.

what do you need?

Dammit, contact has been estabilished.

smaller things, like set collars can be had shortly, otherwise there is a queue for seatposts and saddles.
if you're still interested, holla

I shall have another look at his site in that case - I've been using two of his bottle cages for the past couple of years, very happy with those and they are insanely light.

I'd be in for a couple of cages.

noted both

Pretty much decided on just getting a Dart now

after seeing this however (https://sslcache.se/4bafcaa0bdbc164d401abcf70fb0730ba1bb6271/687474703a2f2f7777772e706564616c726f6f6d2e636f6d2f702f746f6b796f2d66697865642d646172742d31303936355f312e6a7067) I'm tempted by a silver headset, also still tempted by CK Mango for internet points

well gotta save the internet points wherever you can seeing you're putting mudguards and brakes on it

Im going OTP now so no mudguards and front brake will be obtained most likely ;)

Stick to mango, they'll look awesome when you finally build it up.

Most importantly, it's a steel frame, you can easily get tab brazed for mudguard (or drilled a hole in the track-end) much later if you like.

Maybe in winter, but ill have no need for mudguards for 6 months now will i?

what makes you think you wont?
you're in London.

Its going to be sunny for 6 months

Summer rain are worse than winter rain.

sorry for being a dick and posting my stoken bike all over the place. i found it! some dodgy looking guy was riding it down a little back street not far from where it was taken. he gave it back without any fuss. so happy.

wicked!

Brilliant - Glad to hear it
such a splendid bike too

Good to hear you got it back mate!

Bike thieving is awful and know what it feels like.

I once managed to get a bike nicked three times before losing it permanently... CSB an all.

ha thanks guy. was so pissed off last night. my walk home took me 2 hours. the bike maybe rough around the edges, but it works just how i want it to. could not believe my luck when i saw it today.
