Cheers todd happy with the bars now... the sweep and rise is good, for angled adjustments.
After putting the seat post in i was riding down the street looking down at the back end of my bike (not really looking where i was going)... its ace... probably even better with a mallet in your hand and a ball on the floor. Shit i havent moved the saddle back...EPIC!
I think a standard marathon is the way to go... 14's still doing those randoneurs... may have a look later. colours too ;)

Trust...cutters last!
My one has broken everything in it's path to date ( 3 wheels and a set of carbon forks - then I got a rear brake)

Since then MAT's only broken other players with his mallet and smashed his own front rim up.

That looks nice, but not sure on how far the drop outs stick out, possible weak spots

Todd, talking of bars, you don't still happen to have those white ones you said I could buy from you do you? I'm finding mine a little bit too skinny (kids BMX bars).

Yep. I'll get them to you when I can.

Todd, yesterday I forgot to give you 6 small screws, do you still need them?

My Vittoria Adventure is still working wonders upfront, but light it is not.
Cheap tho. -

i'm using the fyxation tires on the back of both bikes, and am going to get some for the front too, they're really good. And puncture-resistant - i've been couriering on them for 6 weeks now and had no puncture. BLB stock them if you want to see what the threading is like.

What can I say...I play old skool...I still see it as a contact sport!

i also think the fyxation tyres are pretty good, high psi for a big tyre, good pinch flat and puncture resistance. but they cost FORTY QUID!! that's £40!!!! tyres the price of rims, that's wrong.

How much are Plusses?
Both are $80 here so about 40 quid with these crap exchange rates.

You only really need one side.

If you're ok with pedals and mallets getting in your wheels from time to time.
-
• #1421
that's cos you don't:
a) know how to ride a bike
b) have a brake -

One of those will be rectified by the end of the week.

some really cheap bars... from a company called etc. i think they were 6 quid they've got 60mm rise and about 10 degs of sweep maybe more??
_ just had a look on the net cant find them... but they stock it at the bike shop on the cut.

So do I, I just like to be fractual.
collar bone fixed
I never even noticed your post about wanting my flat bar!
I still have it if you wanna try...
Layback and shorter stem is the way to go.
I used to have a randoneur on the front but that wore out pretty quickly just from turning.
Not the easiest tyre to get on and off a deep v either.
