  • just a preview, waiting on the chain and pedals to arrive...

  • I assume there are easily 1000 suckers who will have hoovered up the numbered first batch at €145, so you'll have to wait for the general production ones at €125, which will probably be £119.99rrp

    Yep, I was one of those 'suckers'. I'm very happy with the saddle, it cost me about £125 but I think it's worth it. So well made, so comfortable, so beautiful. The only thing I will say is that it is on the wide side. I think the slimmer, narrower C15 when it comes out will be more popular with road and track bike riders. But for my mtb the C17 is perfect.

  • Two crap excuses for more bike pics: 1. New tyres; 2. Getting tipped off about a fantastically coloured wall just a few miles from where I live.

  • stunning, best guise yet!

  • are they pro 4 tyres, which ones? and how do they ride?

  • Thank you! Yeah, Pro4 Service Course. I've had ~2,000 trouble-free miles on the Pro3 through all conditions on my other bike, and these are supposed to be an improvement. Just 30 miles done today but they feel great. They're supposed to be good in the wet but I've got no intention of testing that out, not on the Sunday best.

    Excited! Picking a colour scheme is proving the hardest part.

  • Today was a good day. Moved into a new flat. Finished the Roberts (almost)

  • same day?!

  • v. small flat - not much unpacking to be done!

  • ^^^ that roberts looks great, good job

  • ^^ well done on all counts

  • ^^^^^ Front lever QR, rear brake outer to too long, and chain on inner ring... :P

  • ^ just spotted that. problem with the rear cable is that the TT guides are on the right hand side. (Weinmann 500's apparently)

  • +1. whats the wheelset?

  • did some bike stuff for my own this weekend. first, as already mentioned a couple of pages back; the racking up of the graham weigh:

    from this (1,5y ago)

    to this:

    i reckon im not gonna please any aesthetes, but i reckon it compensates in rad factor. customized the rack from a 20 euro bouwmarkt generic dutch omafiets rack:

    took me the better part of 3h in the faculty workshop, but happy with the result

    [[/URL]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11296434/weigh/2013-08-02%2018.21.03.jpg

    the fitting needed some customisation, for which i bought some standard 32mm pipe "fittings". the white is ugly, maybe shouldve done a quick rattlecan, but heey, it ads to ratness.

    final result:

    love it. do think though that handposition should be lower (only the low syntace stratos), so may need to swap to airwings or so in the future.

  • on another note, the "garden" looked like this this afternoon:

    actually a sad story. this project, a '77 Gazelle Champion Mondial from Reynolds 753 (quite/very rare in original '77 livery) has been lingering since i acquired it like 1,5y ago.
    have been gathering parts slowly without any priority in time or money. now ive got everything, i have had to decide to sell the thing due to financing my last semester of studies.
    but, NOT before its built and ive done a little ride on her and made some nice pictures to sob at.
    enjoyed rubbing her and making her look pwetty. im really loathed to sell..

    now looks like this on the wall next to '77 twin brother Gazelle Champion Mondial track bike. theyre mixed twins you know..

    and 753 goodness:
