TM's Steel Evolution - Panasonic NJS to Donohue 853 RAD

What fucking problem!?

on the Raleigh you had double bottle cage holders in a pic.. are they the profile design ones?

ah.. denial kicking in... gotta ride thru it mate!

They were, seat rail mounted bracket but that broke. That model was pretty crap. I did have a seatpost mount for 27.2 which I stupidly sold for a 5r when I got the MASH...

Now I have profile cages, which are great, mounted on a minoura mount, which feels solid as a solid thing.

I'm still yet to find one that doesnt break.. good to hear youve found a method that works!

Backing plate is steel, so less likely to thread/snap/melt/dissolve... Threads are reinforced where the bottles mount as well. It's not as light as the profile, but at least feels more secure.

Got another steel frame I may be building... It's not arrived yet, so I'll decide when I get it.

Makino? Seriously jels if you took the plunge on that

This frame would 100% fit me.

TM can you PM me a price, just in case.

good luck there ;)

Nah that's not mine, but yeah, loving the Sirius so will be advertising the Panasonic once everyone stops being so skint.

James, crabonz no for sells.

TM in getting bored and selling a bike shocker ;)

It's actually because I'm skint... Selling this should help sort that.

So with the Panasonic gone to a new home, I welcomed the Sirius...

and have these in the post which I will try, and probably hate, with some plastic clips...

Great positioning of the GASH sticker.

You will love the pedals! They'll look great too.

If you don't get on with the SAGs i'd buy them off you.

The sirius looks great still jel you brought that frame and i didn't

I'll let you in on a secret B0N0R...

It rides fucking mint, and is one of the lightest steel track frames I've encountered.

Shame about the ding in the seat stay but it ain't too bad.

My Dave Russell is damn light aswell, it's lighter than my mates Mielec with Alpina fork.
It's insanely skinny though, flexible too.

shit, I meant to buy those straps (for road bike pub mode), I completely forgot

I know you've said before you don't like them but they should at least look sweet.
