• Thomson do 27.0 seatposts. Lovely build. The wheels look great

  • Archetype_Wheels.jpg

    ...but have you managed to remove Excalibur from behind that wheel on the left?

  • Don't do it!

    Look awesome but I really don't trust them anymore I had a pair snap and so did a mate.

  • Integralters are also a really shit shape

  • Oh...better not then, tx!

  • Ah, tx, the shape looked OK to me I've had similar bent bars.

  • Hunting for a black chainring. Cranks arrived at work, will get them tomorrow.

    Apologies for the non-pretty hoods, I want to sit out of the wind on this route & I don't use drops unless I'm near the brake cos...Tektro ones ain't pretty, any pretty brake hood suggestions for small fingers welcome.

    Here's a mockup, stem is ITM Eclype, seatpost will be replaced with a Nitto S65 in Silver cos that one is ugly on this build.

  • Why does that saddle look like a post-ejaculated cock?

  • Heh :):)
    I hadn't made that association yet... I call them "dali inspired"

    Selle SMP: They shape them like that as hipbones aren't round. The droopy nose is for riding out of the saddle/not catching your shorts. Not lookers for sure...then, neither is the bodypart you refer to :P

    I've another model that goes on btw, it's not quite as ugly...

  • I have a 49t black BLB/Andel chainring you can have if you like.

    Seen here, barely used.

  • Happy days, PMd :)

  • Ballix, star nut won't come out & front brake drop is too short (all city forks have massive clearance)

    Good news though...means more black parts as I think silver front brake doesn't look that great leading to more bumblebee points :)

    May got for black seatpost / stem too need to throw it together, decide colours and then spend ;)

  • Option 2: Clashy bumblee potatochop

    Also an option, black S65 (they come in 27mm though harder to find) and black SG75, black brake/levers...

  • What are the chances of the frame exactly matching the powder coated yellow of the Alter?
    (... In unrelated news...)
    I have a 110mm Alter in silver (black clamp & graphics ) to match your silver crank and black chainring/silver hub/spokes & black rims :-)

  • Clashy yellow risk indeed :)

    Tx, but I think 110 is just a touch too long for me :/

    Hunting a black one on ebay but the bidding frenzy is already starting with 9 days to go... O_o

  • @BigH, werent you selling a black s65 27.0?!

  • and for stems i can vouch for syntace 26.0mm ones. you need a shim for 1" but theyre sleek and nice

  • exhibit a, yours truly.

    only thing i would want to change is black saddle, black chainring tbh.

  • I had a 27.2 in black :-/ sorry!

  • Tx :)

    I was just ebaying those today no 100mm ATM on there.

  • Np hubjub may be able to order one in.

    Cheap one in the post for now.

  • Black DA rings going ATM on ebay maybe they go cheap?
