park stand is the most exciting part of that photo :)

Ha! They are intended to be functional, not exciting!

By the seven gods, that true stand is so shiny...

Full photos of the truing stand please. Preferably against a brick wall.

did you de-sticker the whole frame?!

Latex tubes and touring tyres?

latex = less risk of puncture.

but a little bit fiddlier to patch when you do get one.

Indeed, best solution is to use lightweight inner tube instead, like the Schwalbe XXLight.

Or, like a boss, just don't use a tube at all.

You're gonna love what happen at work yesterday regarding that.

...then pinch it on roadside installation.

Latex for the nice bike, patched butyl for the hack or just latex all the things if you're flush/lazy.

Major sled potential.

Raltech cover when the crosswinds ease?

How so? Do latex tubes need specific glue/patches?

Really? To make a butyl tube lighter, presumably it's thinner: ie less puncture resistant.

They're more elastic, i.e. more flexible which mean less risk of puncture.

It only work best with high end tyres IMHO.

Just about done

Needs better grips.
Needs Black Chris King Sotto Voce Headset
Not too sure on CampagZen...

Zen needs rotating 1 space clockwise. Also silver 7600 maybe?

hummn was trying to keep it all black...
agree on the zen rotation though

Keep all black but not a fan of camzen, too much of a clash.
