  • Current favourite forum bike. The attention to detail is amazing. Mad elegance.

  • I'm using Chromoplastics at the moment and they're good.

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

    Crud catchers are designed to rub a bit. My Raceblades have never rubbed

    thanks !!

    pic?

  • pic?

  • I got them on mine today; did you cut them towards the seat tube?

  • yeah I chopped about 3 inches off it, you can see how close my tyre is to the frame.

    Until you lock/lean your bike. They're flipping useless ATMO.

    This looks like the way to do it.

  • so much <3 for this bike... Only thing I've ridden since coming back.

  • Poor Marijana...

  • ^ha! just noticed that... I'm sure she understands... she used to play pro handball, so she knows what it's like to focus all* most of your energy on a hobby

    riding this more than anything else currently (except for commuting) can't get enough of it.

    *I have a job now

  • Still needs Sram (Rival in silver or Force or whatever), but nonetheless it's lovely hehe!

  • What fenders you've got there in the pictures?

  • SKS crud racers...

    I'll sell them to you if you want :) not using them since I have the Surly...

    Nuts, I can't deny that modern groupset would work well, but I really can't fault the 9 sp Record Ti at all. IMO looks great and works well. what else do you want?

  • Yeah, would be lovely, thanks.

    Will PM

    Rival/force over the tasty Record parts on this frame? GTFO

  • Beautiful bike, glad to hear the guards have been taken off.

    He better start now then, took me the best park of a year to collect my NOS one together for Jose.

    This.

    I'm gonna do some work on this bike in the coming weeks/months, to get it perfect. No rush, but I do have a checklist of sorts....

    • Looking for a 27.2 Record Ti seatpost.

    • Gonna swap the 42cm bars for 44cm once they're back in stock (anyone wanna buy the 42s?)

    • Need suggestions for some nice Italian tyres - 23-25c, light, puncture resistant, grippy etc.

    • Better brakepads

    • Also on the look out for a Ti Rolls, if anyone sees one about pls dibs for me!

  • Bill has a Ti-Rolls on his polo biek (no joke!)

    Might grab the 42 bars off ya, how many dorra?

  • Brakepads an obvious choice, that'd be the blue Swissstop, since you already got a everyday road bike.

    Tyres, Vittoria Open Pave in 25, again I wouldn't worry too much about puncture resistant as it's not your commuting bike, either comfortable supple fast tyres, or frim puncture resistant tyres.

  • Interested in the bars too, may need posting or may be in London soon

  • given these are selling for about £40 posted from SJS, and they've only ever been used on this and never crashed etc I'd be after £30
