  • Although theyre only tiagra level - not sure if ed's going for something better.

  • The R400 are Tiagra grade shifters, Shimano haven't changed it since Tiagra were an 8 speed groupset (hence why the 9 speed are either Ultegra or Dura Ace).

    Lots more choice in SJS

  • Already got S900.

    Need a different crankset as the crank arms is less than a millimetre from the chain stay, so back to square taper (white industries from the Oak).

    Most of the part are temporary, like stem and seatpost, headset is also temporary.

  • I love it. Really nice frame.

  • Got some serious bike envy!

  • phwoar

  • jealous..

  • Beast.

  • Oh lord. This'll be good.

  • Fucking YES! Scoble this looks incredible so far.

  • Looks shit...
    ;)

  • Woah...! Great looking bike, really clean finish

  • hate to admit it, but it looks good in the flesh

    though needs a black saddle

    and less claris

    and don't you dare put that pink chris king on it

  • This looks lovely Ed. You've built some lovely bikes.
    Is that the +-17deg ARX stem?
    Will look great with a pink CK headset. Might clash with the red stripe on the stem though?

    edit I see that it's temporary, carry on, don't mind me.

  • Yup, 17deg ARX, something from the part bin to see how it feel, the intention is to run a black Zipp stem that'll match the fillet brazed nicely, unsure about seatpost, something like a Fizik setback without the decals.

    and don't you dare put that pink chris king on it

    Says the man with the pink fucking Surly!

  • It's looking super stealth at the moment

    ironic pink will ruin it

  • Wow that rear wishbone thing is an unexpected treat!

  • Wow that rear wishbone thing is an unexpected treat!

    Almost missed that! The whole thing looks amazing, though.

  • Beautiful frame.

  • This is looking incredible.

  • lots of scoblebricks

  • lots of scoblebricks

  • Sweet, scoble!

  • Wow that rear wishbone thing is an unexpected treat!

    Yup, really skinny too, thinner than the fork blade, it got rack mount on the crown.

    New square taper compact 46/36 chainset coming soon, it's black so will fit the bike nicely, required a 103mm BB, so 110mm should cut it out.
