Puncture bad.

If you had some bent tribar extensions, you probably wouldn't feel compelled to fit them with those alarming grips.

So comfort...much squeeze. B-)

Yeah might try bends eventually.

I do like varying hand position tho. shudders

@machine thanks, yes 3 speed fixed train.

Toot Toot.

Having seen the above cockpit I feel compelled to post a new bar/stem combo fitted to Gitane this morning.

130mm of Tig welded goodness.
Reduced angle & increased length increased ass comfort no end vs. previous incarnation

I love that bike ^

Makes me want to bodge something together myself

Why did I think this cracked and died last year?

It's still cracked, I'm just going to keep riding it and keep an eye on the welds which is why all the stress points around the seat tube have had the paint removed.

I didn't get an answer to this in the Carbon repair thread, so thought I'd post it here to see if anyone could shed some light on my situation:

So I've got a cracked carbon saddle...

Not a large crack, but a crack nonetheless. The crack is on the edge of the saddle about halfway down the body and is hard to see even if I put pressure on it.

Is there a way I can fix it or is there a magical carbon wizard who can help save it?

I'd like to think there is a way of fixing it. Maybe by layering a couple more layers of carbon on the top of the saddle and some extra on the underside where the crack is. Anyone have any recommendations?

Just keep using it until it breaks :).

WAC! I gave you an answer.

Now with silver post, silver bars, soyo champ grips and blackened rims. I really need to find a pair of mtb sidi's for cheap so I can fit the ATACs.

looking really nice, I think a black headset would finish off the black silver mix !!

at last

blue gazelle

nice build, what size is it, looks about 55/56?

^^ Nope, keep that line from hub to stem silver.

Tomorrow should be fun.

Are you in Leeds? Noticed the LSF and Restrap stickers on the bianchi! If so, do I know you? I'm the guy riding around on the orange KHS and the bike I'm about to post below.

Anyway, the Donohue has had a couple of minor updates today, new, more puncture resistant tyres and a new and really clean looking chain. All in preparation for riding it to and from Paris in a couple of weeks. I'm absolutely loving riding this bike.

I promise the chain isn't white.

That is really sharp, such a clean machine.

Amazing colour, I love it. Chain needs to get super fucking grimy, asap!

@ltc Completely Outstanding Bike

^^^^^ have you been introduced to T rex brotherhood?

Have you got enough brake cable to flip the stem if you need to?

Is that stem 6cm long?

Better(lighter) looking saddle and some sensible bars and stem combination(thanks to DeathDrive for sourcng them for me cheaply)
Looking forward to get some SG75's
