inline post and that saddle position... it doesn't fit you.

Wow. Thanks internet bike fitter.
It had literally just come out of the box.

I have a headset slam to do, fit some brakes, change the saddle, fit aero bars, and I think thats it.

Also- I love the paint job. Was considering a strip and repaint, but it is my bike so Idgaf.

Saddle looks comfy!

I'm in the straight plain carbon fork camp, oddly think it would compliment the frame better.

Never mind all that though, how's the ride?

Saddle is hideous + uncomfortable.
Set up like that- it is perfect for skidding like an idiot, and generally reliving earlier 'fixie' days.
For anything else though- not so much.
Rides exactly like a track version of

So- very, very comfy and balanced.

Panda posted a link to discounted Planet X track frames and forks... I got one, it was too big and odd coloured so I sent it back. I ended up getting the four hundred quid newer version complete frameset. Built it up this morning.

I bought a full carbon saddle for it but the recommended maximum weight is 13st and I'm a little heavier than that and a chicken so I've stuck with the Arione.

Gonna put a black zen chainring on it at some point.

Mismatched wheels, pedals and stem bought from forumengers. Thanks guys.

It's really stiff and there's a little more toe overlap than on my Fuji... Which has been handed down to my wife and now looks like this, also done this morning.

Oh my. That looks amazing.

Looks rad. Rattle can or paint pen front spokes?

Cheers guys.
I'm happy with it.

I would agree because black is the best colour for everything BUT... The head badge, downtube and fork decals on the new model have elements of red and white in them and the front wheel carries that colour scheme too so it kinda feels like it's deliberate. Have a look... What you sayin'?

I got a 51t black Zen i'm letting go for £68 + postage if you're keen.

I see you're a fan of bright colours, privatepatterson.

Cheers lad. I've got some stuff ending on eBay tonight so once I've paid my fees I might just come to you.

That picture is brilliant but I love ALL the colours!!!
This is about as "Goff" as I'm likely to get...

Trialing a flite on my tark beik

And my custom bigtop rack bag arrived:

More photos of which can be found here

So much practical.

Kinda wanna swap my Bob for a geared Bob.

y u no attach the elastic bits to the bars?

I don't have any, I don't think I need them away, the bag is very stable due to the large stiff platform it sits on.

Is the clear top bit to slide a map under?

Porn

Map, phone, gps, roadkill, what ever your fancy.

It happens to work perfectly with my phone though, I can use it without taking it out of the bag.

Orange.
