Perfect, do nothing else.

Apart from black grips/risers if we're being picky.

Finishing touch...

But it doesn't even have a derailleur cage.

Ed, your troll powers are so weak, not even worth nerging you... back in your BOX

Need an inline post with the Integralters but didn't have one to hand.

So good.

Think this is about as done as Donobru will get, saddle could do with tilting back a bit (yes even for me, although it felt fine in the drops)

Pretty happy.

Attempted to get rid of the tribal designs, did a test on the non drive side and the lacquer is really thick but the white is really thin, and getting the tribal bit off without going through the white isn't really going to be doable.

Think this is about as done as Donobru will get.

sure...

But it looks great!

what angle is your stem Tom?

The integralter? Think they are all standard angle, just vary in stem length and bar width...

nah thommy

Ah think it's 10*?

cool.
won a 100mm 15º 25.4 thomson for neil to run with some risers.

15*... Nice!

Got a Flite for the build but used it on the Corima for the Yorkshire Bike Show, only just picked up the Corima, so installed the saddle in it's rightful home...

This looks fuckin boss!!!

Personally I'd embrace or at least learn to live with the tribal graphic bits.
One could say they look retro surfboard inspired.
Tribal has to seem cool again at some point in the future anyway....surely,...... don't it,.... eh......????

Cheers, I'm really happy with how it's worked out.

Yeah I had a failed attempt at removing one of the tribal graphics on the non drive side top tube, then found out the pearl white touch up pen didn't match the white of the frame when trying to touch it up. Will just leave it for now and if I'm still loving it in spring (and if I'm feeling less skint) will most likely send it off to my friend at Kingstom Kustoms to have the dings pulled out and have it repainted something classy.

Need
And put back the riser!!!

^umadbro?

TM's been on the DMR/horizontal jag for time.

Ha, those BLB pedals are a copy of some MKS pedals I already have, they are crap. No grip at all. The DMRs are great for use with straps, the "ports" where you feed the straps through are all smoothed off so your straps are less likely to wear through and snap, they are also grippy in all conditions.

As for the bars, I have just received this...

Thanks to countryboj for bars and stem, great trader.

Much better with integralters.
