Nice frame rak500! I quite like it set up with the rack etc.

Aero jealousy ;-)

My standard 53t chainring was bent so I needed to swap it.

I've not tried it for a long run but i've sure it will make 0 aero difference.

And by the way, the Dolan Seta is doing well:

Lynskey Titanium Custom. Ultegra 6700/Sram Red carnas + BB/Aksiums/FSA K-Wing/PMP seatpost/Aspide Saddle

Before anyone tells me to 'slam dat stem', I like the riding position better this way. Touring style.

Have you considered a bike fit?

Or stretching?

This is my last build, a vitus 992 aluminium bonded frame. It looks like it's been professionnally resprayed (I had never seen such paintjob on this kind of frame).

I built it with campy parts mostly from the 90's (wheelset is early 00's though, saddle pedals and handlebars are pretty recent too).
I'm thinking of replacing the stem, which is a bit long and too curvy imo. If you guys have any suggestions of nice 26mm clamp quill stems, don't hesitate ;)

Vince you should get them to do a track Fibre-lyte for the Seta. That would look boss*

I do need a bike fit. Any recommendation for a London based one which is reasonably priced?

Stretching is for flexible people. I'm not flexible.

Fibre-lyte track chainrings are £125 so I'll hold off until I get some Sugino 75 in black then get a 49T one as these aero ones are made to measure are not interchangeable.

Ace! Vitus was the other brand I was searching when looking for my new GT.
Great build!

Thanks! I was lucky, the owner kept the bike in mint condition, the groupset works so well, all the bits are in top condition, mad bargain!
The rack is practical but I'm looking for a saddle bag as I never carry too much...
The idea was to build a "neoretro" as they say on PF, but considering the very good condition of the bike, I might just keep the silver/red theme and put Ventos/shamals on it...

Starting this summer beater project; all black components;
black front velocity deep v wheel with braking surface,
black seatpost,
black blb fly saddle
rear purple halo aerotrack wheel that will be sprayed black.
Apologies for the instagrammed picture:

Not sure if serious, but stretching is what makes inflexible people flexible...

This is excellent

Finished up my pre cursa, much better than the Charge plug. Needs a better wheelset though, but the Dish wheels are solid and I don't have the cash. I reckon a set of H+sons, a shorter stem flipped and on-one cranks would do the job.

Yeah, as you say, a straighter stem would make that so porn.
^^(not the dolan)

Final piks with my new camera ,I do not know what I'll do with this bike, it's done...

10/10 would ride

I want to detach myself from material things, but the passion is stronger than reason...

You wanna get your head out of your arse and ride the fookin thing.

At least don't sell this piece of art to some ebay millionaire.

Seatpost is the wrong way around.

No matter if he doesn't ride it eh?

Hold the front page:

"Gaston in correct positioning of seatpost shocker"

Je dois pas etre le premier a la faire...

I will not sell it on ebay ... not this one. What matters is that the Mavic pinsello have maded dreamed converted motorists...

hahahah thank you veLLO :- )
What's funny is that I wrote a book: "Generation transition".if you want I can send you the pdf if you give me your adress by PM.

Thank you guys.

^ Needs risers...

It's a beautiful work of art.

I fully support the "neoretro" approach, that's what I did with mine. Would look good with classy silver too and if the group works well enough then why not. Keep us posted either way.
