I am extremely happy to hear good things about max tubing* :D

*I've done something stupid

moar bike??

You're replacing your Kinoko with something from Fitzrovia?

must spread rep

moar bike??

Yup got that Rychtarski that was floating around for some time. Will replace with the chinese carbon :)

why?

Because 100% better isn't enough.

Did you even ride the carbon?

mainly this :P
anyway let's not derail this thread anymore

Tempted by it too, glad that it remains within the forum circle. Always wanted a max or minimax frame, something about the way the tubes are formed makes it a pure art even before it is a bike. The fact that Columbus brought the set back speaks volume of how good it is.

I know that feeling exactly, that's what prompt me on getting a custom all-weather bike than a race bike.

ffs... now?

better. And Prepare to hate those mudguards.

Get rid of the back light for the Moon Comet with it's saddle mount.

No way!! Shield rules

Contis and Campag? Hippy will freak.

Where did you get the cages? Just got an e-mail from Planet X saying they were now discontinued.

Little touches like these are why I love Somec paint jobs

One cage came with the frame, the other was lying around from my Rourke

scilly,

i have 2 of those cages (with yellow bits) on my bob but im gna buy kings, if you want these for a few bob + postage (or im in london briefly on friday) pm me!

Lovely bike, sits really well. Surprisingly doesn't look 'big' even though it's a 65cm for some reason?

How would one go about getting a stem to align with the bars perfectly? I'm not good with measurements etc..

Thanks mate, I think its just a question of angles

I think I just got lucky that the absolute of the stem drop + headtube angle is exactly 90 degrees (i.e. |-17|+73]...maybe not those numbers, but you see what I mean)! the bar/lever angle only looks right because of that...

Apollo. How are they? I can't stand race blade because of all the rubbing.

better. And Prepare to hate those mudguards.

Why? Do they rub?

They're extremely fickle, especially with the tighter clearance.

I had a set and the rear one decided it wanted to make friends with the front derailleur. I threw it away and vowed never to use them again.

So annoying. None of them really work. Bodging on SKS seems the only way.
