a-poh-loh I thought this was your beater ..

hence the stealthy black on black, right?

but chris king and edge/enve on beater ....

^ in good sense :P

#Would

Well it was never supposed to be a full on beater that I lock up and not care about. If I had a bike like that it would look more like my old Raleigh with mudguards/racke etc. Other than the small tt dent and a few scratches and battlescars, it is in great condition.

This is more of a more stealthy nice bike and still gets double d-locked wherever I go.

And it rides mint. Drivetrain is Omniums, SG75 chainring, EAI cog, Goldtec hubs....Aren't beaters supposed to be held together with gaffer tape?

my posh bike is held together with leccy tape

nodder bikes >>>>

yes! internal routing, forks are already columbus MAX, lovely finish - I totally would.

Could someone let me know if this frame worth £200 quid? Tempted to get it as a winter project, but not sure if it just the lack of sleep talking.. Should prob sleep on it

Cool frame, but it'll cost you another £200 for a Columbus Air Seatpost...

well its lucky it isn't columbus air then isnt it!

really? i find it too garish, i would like something more colourful, but its too difficult picking a colour and I don't think I'd like anything that fluro.

maybe something more pastel: http://cl.ly/image/161Z1a3u043z

Is that the join on the outside of the stay?

Pug 653 Athena to go with the Ultima 653... Swapping out the saddle, tape, tyres and pedals, and should be good to go.

The original set up as new, or how it is now? Yet to see which group set it has fitted and if its full Athena. Crankset looks different for sure.

how it is now that is, I am sure originally it looked pretty sharp. yeah cranks are not athena, not sure what from that picture...

forks are already columbus MAX

Orly?

Should have put the join on the underside of the TT and the rear of the ST IMO.

Looks really good! Agree with Fahrgestell tho. Would be better with the joins tucked away. Where did you get the vinyl?
