OWK’s stable - De Rosa / Geoffrey Butler / Ridley Oval

seen it on ebay, one tubing grade away from my dream road steel.

it's this one right?
picture of the bike

nice.

oh yeah, the grammo - converter?

All the teasers and then Marcin posts a pic Apollo plainly didn't want us to see ;)

wouldn't say eubios is rare.. i bought them because cinelli does not make compact bars with 26.0 clamp area.

oh, and i have a quill grammo if you want to use the system as it was meant to be :)

yeah he messaged me WTF DELETE OMG

oops

there, deleted it

Thanks man, but I like the clamp actually, I know it's super nerdy, but I can stare at the pretty welds :D

Also, I'm pretty sure mine was a bargain, but PM me how much you'd be after just incase!

I've seen the ebay prices... crazyyyyy

well since I posted a couple of pictures of it myself since I wouldnt consider it a secret anymore :)

well, as i want to sell it i'll put it here instead of a pm (with you having first dibs in case any mind-changing should occur): i'd like 40pounds for it. and i think that's well below the ebay prices :)

EDIT: grammo is sold.

Here it is on the Plum. As you can see, the clamp is in the middle, the lower band just acts like a 5mm spacer. I really like it as is tbh!

i understand, really, but as i see it: that setup cannot be slammed, it is not the propietary stem for the system and you have an adaptor, which leaves you with the same stiffness as a regular quill stem, so no benefits from oversize clamping area. but that really is just me - i like to do things """""properly""""" :)

I see what you mean, but look how close the headset is to the weld at the front. 0.5mm? That's pretty slammed if u ask me!

Look: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/TaiLee77/IMG_3391.jpg

That just looks more slammed because of the headset stack height.

Here's a quill, it won't go much lower than that! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/3232556758_a0edf08b9f_b.jpg

dat merckx.. i know yout stem is slammed but i meant overall slammage including the headset. i mean, from a quill system, you'd expect a top cup, a spacer and a locknut with a stem on top. but an ahead system should look like this: http://www.lfgss.com/post2870912-3.html (at least for me it should)

bottom line: your bike to your taste - i only wanted to explain how i see it :)

like this:

I never could imagine that the a-head version of such an ugly (imho) quill stem could be this beautiful.

dat merckx..

Posted that for a reason, took a while to find. It's Columbus Max, with Max forks, so you can see how a Grammo looks with the wider fork and chainstay profiles.

re quill/ahead debate, sure a quill might be period correct, I'll trial this and see how we get on. Like I posted, I put it on the Plum sans bartape and it feels infinitely stiffer than my other drop bar setup (system x quill with deda piega drops)

also, repped for the gif! someone needs to make a quill version!

Think I've got a Connex on the Dln pls, must've done about 2500-3000 miles or so in various conditions and still going strong.

Yeah fam, it's mdcc_tester approved™

Also, is this for sale yet?

must spread

Needs a quill, no matter the price.

quill to ahead can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

take the trade

some day... the one hma has is sadly too long. might try it though

Anyone know if Vento 16-HPW wheels have a weight limit?

less than 90 kgs I would think.
