• Ultimately I want a bike that can run http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_gb_700_29.html

    But Dave can only clear these http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_gb_700_23.html

    Ed has 42c hetre's iirc

  • proper nice. now you have to get out there and go crash it.

  • I though you were talking about the future bike that can run the 29c ;)

  • the best 700c tyres I have tried is the Cypres in 32mm on wide rims (mavic A319), but nothing can beat my 42c Hetres that's a little heavier than your Marathon Supreme (395g)

    Mind you I'm tempted to get the ultralight 38c Pari-Moto tyres that weight a mere 300g.

  • CX bike with di2? Hm, I'm not so sure about that. It all looks a bit messy, to be honest - gadgets, wires and cables everywhere.

  • Needs seapost battery and tidier wiring, but otherwise pretty rad. I like it.

  • yea and they havent actually finished with it, I was just done with waiting ;)
    V Twin needs to be rebled and cables cut to right lengths etc.

    Thinking abt seat post battery but it'll have to wait

    Also not a CX bike

  • It says CX on the forks and the clearances everywhere look a lot more as a CX bike, rather than a fast road bike. But it's not my bike. It's yours. If you like and enjoy it - that's what matters.

  • yea well disc specific road components dont exist ;) dont have enve money as well

  • I don't really get it

  • Pfft CX bikes are road bikes.

    To me it looks like a well specified versatile beast. Stick some luggies on it and smash it around the forest when you are bored with the roads. Win.

  • Makes sense to me.
    But hide the fucking battery!

  • Is it built to take Di2 wiring? or aftermarket? if so look at Dammit's for inspo

  • built to take Di2 wiring, kioko updated the firmware yesterday so that it is compatible with internal battery (and multi shift etc) but i'll need to get a new junction box and battery for that :) will do maybe in couple of months time

  • V Twin needs to be replaced with TRP HY/RD.

    ftfy.

    The battery look like it'll get in the way with the seat tube bottle cage.

  • I got the 9070 internal battery, new junction box etc- it's an expensive exercise.

    Having had a play with making my own batteries now I'd be strongly tempted to follow the guide that Danstuff put in his thread about cutting up the standard battery mount.

  • Pedalroom-ed it

    Because you have to.

  • didnt realise you went for 4130, any reason?

  • cheap and quick

    i.e it was £100 cheaper and the turnaround was quick

  • love the barclays sticker

  • -10 deg stem pls.

  • Just been looking at this on pedalroom .. Barclays sticker made me chuckle too!

    Looks a really nice build, enjoy it :)

  • Get rid of barclays sticker, some nice big tokyo fixed decals, tidy the cabling more and get bigger tyres, stop fuckin about!
