  • Agree on those calipers, other than that it's sweet!

  • slam dat stem and sort the brakes out. Pretty sleek other than that

    Works well for me as is...luckily, as it's a one piece bar and stem

  • Think the images work now...

  • I actually don't mind the gold...would look a lot more hhsb and stealthy if it was all black mind!

  • Jeez - just been looking at alternatives for the brakes and did a bit of research on the current gold ones....

    KCNC C6 KCNC C6 Road Brake cantilever brakes black cantilever brakes: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

    £95.26 !!!

    Wish the previous owner had bought them in black!! They are really light though, 210g for the pair...

    Though hopefully once I've put the chainring on that I've acquired from Thross78 it'll look a little less OTT

  • Mavic 632 Starfish cranks are the latest addition to what's turned into an unexpectedly francophile build. Guess I'd better track down a Mavic stem, some Mavic track hubs and some Open Pros now...

  • That's looking amazing. Needs silver rims I think, le braking surface n'est pas bon.

  • ^ what he said!

    Looks lovely in the metal too

  • Mine is having a little change around...will post pics in the week when it's done!

  • That's looking amazing. Needs silver rims I think, le braking surface n'est pas bon.

    Yeah I think I agree - now it's a bit more refined the wheelset is the only non-'pedigree' bit on it. I'm tempted to find some NOS Open Pro CDs, but fear the brake track would still deteriorate even with the old coating. Might have to save and get a full silver set built after winter so I have the option of both. I did see the Dura Ace Track hubs are reduced on Wiggle at the mo, and those laced to Open Pros are a classic...

  • Just go silver, they'll look nicer/go with what you already have on there

  • Silver victoire supersprint hubs, for that Fabriqué en France roll.

  • But then we'd both have Victoire hubs, and that'd be awkward... Did you go high flange on your set?

  • Hub buddies??

  • Just looked up the Victoire prices - not going to happen!

  • No hub buddies :(

  • Just dropped my steed off at the Dandy Horse... Much spent, hoping to have the setup perfected, lots of new goodies on their way!

  • Is it the weekend yet?!

    Want my bike back and to share the new additions!

  • That's looking amazing. Needs silver rims I think, le braking surface n'est pas bon.

    Silver wheelset courtesy of my killer Paint skills. Looks so elegant, even in the digital mock up, good shout Tom.

  • ^ make it so!

  • ^^ You should work in design.....

  • I know. I'm lost in Planning, although maybe my Paint skills come from regularly using software from 1999... #Quark #APMU #insidejoke

  • Thross, What price have you been quoted for Victoire? I may be able to better it for you
