^Woundups on the Samson "Muy Caliente"

...ditch the full njs route unless the plan is to be hung up and admired more than enjoyed being ridden

Have you got a full frontal bike shot? interested to see the rake!

No, I don't, sorry.

Send a pm to ma9n3t, as it's his road bike. He doesn't take pictures of his bikes, but could help maybe.

Maybe try the HY/RD? Great reviews but quite pricey though.

TRP Spyre's, the recalled new ones. Good but after using hydraulic on the MTB I'd love hydraulic disc's on this too...

Seconded

^^^That looks Ace, gawd i love steel... trifecta vote

do it

Thanks guys, just what I wanted to hear. Offer made!

You would have to go through the clear coat to desticker those i believe. Perhaps even in to the carbon. Easton products are hard to dedecal or at least has been in the past.

Obligatory parts shot pre-build:

Just need to get the wheels built up, New carbon fork installed and I'll be almost there!

A njs frame not build up fully njs. I love it already:)

I've just started buying parts for what I planned to be an NJS build but looking at what other people have done to make their bikes more practical I think I'm gonna end up with non NJS cockpit/saddle/rims/sprocket/tyres. I'd rather ride my bike than look at it. Good work Fahrgestell. I have those hubs laced to an archetype (front) and an eero (rear) on my Fuji at the minute. Done many miles in all weathers and they still feel strong as hell.

Y U NO make separate thread?!
We want!

^ that

True

Holy shitballs Fahrgestell, those are the nicest track fork ends I've evar seen

I have lost all hope in my local bike shops! swear they are taking the piss, so from now on i'll just get more tools and do things my self.

anyway, i have a creak in my Vivalo and its got muuuch worse, to the point of it makes people jump as i ride by, so i think i need to completely rebuild my headset, as i can't see what else it could be, need to take the cups out, look for cracks or damage, clean, regrease and rebuild. Probably need the proper tool this time, any recommendations? also really need a bike stand...

^ not sure if they're doing them in the UK but I picked up a bike stand in Lidl and it's not half bad

Chain ring bolts.

Someone quote this for paches and ains he's got me on ignore.

How much for? Lidl would be a bit of a trek for me though

€30 (in Ireland)

Just paid for one on crc, hopefully its decent enough.

they have all the lidl bike stuff on amazon for a similar price.

I have had 2 lidl track pumps and have been thoroughly impressed for something so cheap

Why have you needed two?

One for the front tyre, one for the rear.

Duh.

Mine will be too short for you Indra, they just fit the Rourke.

Mine might be too, there's about 230mm steerer I think, which I was surprised was too short for my road bike too, not that it needs them.

They're really nice forks too, the straight blade means they do work alright on tarck builds I think.

Ah cheers guys, they're defo too short then as the headtube alone is 20cm.

Anyone recommend some straight blade 1" track forks in either carbon or steel that I could put on the Pendle for longer rides and possibly put a brake on.

What about these:
