So, thought I'd start a thread to keep track of what I do to the current project!

Bought second hand looking like this...

SRAM cranks and brake levers

Specialized Barmac carbon bar / stem

Specialized Taupe Expert saddle...replacement yet to be decided

KCNC C6 brakes

Lots of nice bits of spec on it but not necessarily the look I'm after.

Dropped it off at the Dandy Horse in Norwich to have various bits changed, will update with pics when I pick it up...hating being without it already!!

So after a couple of days waiting for bits, it now looks like this...

New crank, brake, lever, bars, stem, saddle, chain....

I'm pleased, though can't decide if I'm sold on the saddle yet but I think it needs to wear in!

Yeah, not keen on saddle, but I think overall it's an improvement for sure!

I can't decide if I like it or not to be honest...

Open to suggestions

I like your new setup.
would've kept the saddle though.
Turbos suit my bottom well but they don't look right on every build.

I think it'll be going back on, went for a ride last night and didn't find it as comfy and I don't think it works with the rest of the build

Looks futuristic and cool. would not change a thing. Is it fast?

Please put the toupe back on. Putting a turbo on a carbon rimmed aero bike is a bit strange . Otherwise a lovely build

Put the drops and saddle back on, take out the spacer and cut the steerer and you're all set.

Depends how hard I pedal...

It certainly feels nimble

Saddle being wrong does seem to be the general consensus!

The bike looks much better than before, those gold bits remind me of them cheap no logo bikes, the Turbo saddle doesnt suit these types of builds, i have one on my PX, it doesnt suit my build but it works for me.

But anyhow nice build, and i'm surprised the Steerer tube Nazis haven't said anything yet lol

Haha! Cheers, the steerer tube is a decision I've yet to make, I've got some pista drops coming and they might need that extra bit of height - they're not to replace the pursuit bars, they're for an alternative look / ride

Taupe is back on...looks a million times better

I feel like it's missing something but can't decide what...

I'm thinking maybe a colour change or something?

New bars!!

I'm fancying cadbury wrapper purple...any thoughts?

Damn. What happened to that beautiful track bike. Someone drilled a hole in it for brakes. Sh@t. Why not just use an old road bike for that. Shame really.

Seeing how it's been mistreated you should just sell it to me. Lol. I can't believe whoever owned it bought a track bike to put brakes on.

The fork is drilled from factory...

Frameset will probably be up for sale at the end of this month....

Today I....

Cleaned the bike ready for a ride later, quite pleased with how it looks!

How much for frame set?

was this in new malden around 3:30 today?

Possibly! It now belongs to @JT22 so you'd have to ask him!
