Upgrades/ New Shit in Norwich

The big patches are missing paint. I need to get round to sanding and clearcoating them, dunno what caused that kind of damage. Cable rub on the TT and ST possibly

Face it, you need a proper bike fit. Might save time, pain and cash in the long run.

Looks rad with the missing paint, i'm a fan of the rat bike aesthetic.

Oh yeah, I've got no problem with people buying things for aesthetic reasons

Don't forget the overshoes.

Yeah, me also. Just want to stop it rusting too much more, MTBs don't exactly stay dry!

Very true, could do what Rik_Van_Looy did with his Bob Jackson rat and lacquer it

looks super nice man. reminds me of a time when sheep rode mountainbikes and forearms were bigger than quads :)

That bike is pron through & through. Wish I could justify buying it.

It really is, if i bought it i would have a decent amount of post showing and it would be a good length, but it would mean selling both my orbit frames & components which I'm just not 100% okay with.

Long live Mint Sauce

The main reason is that I don't have enough time to ride the bikes I have at the moment.

Still keeping an eye on the thread though...

New garmin edge touring plus and K-Edge mount fitted earlier this week..

Have to say the mapping on these are fantastic

New dhb jersey arrived. It's a little too tight but something i'm hoping will fit soon enough! Decent quality, just need to test it on the road now i guess

"race fit"

Indeed

Just get yourself racefit for the casual fit.

Made these early Coca-Cola bar ends

Tomorrow: https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sun-12-apr/ including Garmin 200's for £70

Chinese carbon a-go-go

Link? looks good

The specific ones I bought are no longer there, but just search "enve bar" on ali-express

good luck, brave sir.

Changed the tyres out for Gatorskins, got some SPD's and shoes (northwave spike pro for a good price) as well as some black tape and black seat clamp, now its just a black headset and it's sorted. Excuse the instafilter

It's looking like a proper road bike! How are you finding clipping in and out?

Not to go all internet bike fit, but if you fancy some tweaking I'd probaly rotate the bars down a few degrees and move the hoods a tad higher to get a flatter transition; your wrists will be glad of it!

Yeah! They aren't actually as high as they look and they're comfortable as is, I'll have to get a better shot. Finding clipping in/out quite easy so far actually, hoping it stays that way!
