Following the departure of my Bridgestone I started a new build and here is the result!

A few changes including a longer stem and some lizard skins tape will follow...

Nevermind

Glad to see you found something nice to replace the Bridgestone, it looks good.

very nice.
whered you find this beaut

nice.

Have you had that sprayed yourself? If so what RAL code is it?

very nice.

Was offered to me by kash (c4shr) after I posted a wanted ad, was suprised to find something so quickly

nice.

I didn't spray it myself and I'm not exactly sure of the finish. I think it is raw just polished with linseed oil because in the rain the 'paint' started to change colour to a weird sort of grey/blue. If anybody has any ideas on what the finish is then please enlighten me!

how long is the current stem?

how long is the current stem?

90mm, bit short for you?

I roll a super steep 70 mm stem. Love it.

Latest iteration, changes include saddle and front wheel as this is becoming my daily bike with the completion of the kagero

I think this is going to end up looking better* with all silver parts. What is the rim on a back and what's going on the front?

*Classier

Rim on the back is mavic Cxp30 (laced to a low flange dura ace). Front wheel will be a Charge one that looks relatively similar, until I can find a matching front rim.

That frame is lush, I'd have the Kagero as the runabout and this as the nice bike...

I know, I had this dilemma when I decided to buy the kagero. Decided to make that my nice bike for the time being as, IMO, the archetypes and Omniums suit it better. Ideally in the long term I will be able to find a matching front wheel for this and I will have two nice bikes!

With black 75s would be mega.

Looking goood, loving that zeus fork!
For me personally its all about all black or all shiny silver parts.
I only say that coz Im not that 'rad' and have a thing for colour co-ordination ;-)

Thanks, the fork is super tight in terms of clearance, only just fitting 23 mm tyres. Hopefully will have a silver front wheel soon to complete the all silver look.
for now here's a few pics of its latest guise;

Nice. your forks are with the zuess 2000 fork crown are pretty similar to mine: http://www.lfgss.com/thread100375.html

They are deda piegas in a 26.0 clamp, comfortable and cheaper than soma hwy

ahhhh.. i figured as much. but its a right bitch to get your hands on some compact ones nowadays, theyre now updated to an anatomic form which sucks balls.. do a google, youll see..
i actually have a pair of them i bought on here, but theyre 36cm c-c instead of the stated 40 c-c which renders them useless to me. and in the meantime im taking little steps into 31.8mm land. will need to use quill adapters though.

I found them in the kinoko sale for £17, apparently on some websites the picture is of an anatomical drop when they are in fact compact drop like these

yeah im not local so couldnt have. tried that trick before with an ebaylisting; ended up having to send them back.. why arent you running them anymore?
