Conquering Campagnolophobia (With Cold, Hard, Steel)

6800 cassette should work no?

I've got three.

You're welcome to borrow one.

Any issues getting the fork on there?

Looks great!

AAAAANNNNDDD ITS DONE

Delicious

And my god does it ride well

Its unbelievably stiff, yet so comfy!

Cannot wait to get a proper ride on this - I'm almost tempted to use this to race on over the Giant!

Overcame that by taking it to SBC! Had given up by that point on Friday!

10/10

Amaze Balls.

What's the saddle?

Selle Italia SLR full carbon team edition ass hatchet

that looks shit hot.

Your best bike imo, really good

Great job

That. is. awesome.

One of the best Rourke's I've seen

Its really nice. Admittedly normally I think your bikes are a bit in ya face but this is proper class.

@Dick Ass Hatchet is a great word.

Looks lush! My black Rourke is a track frame, but I know how gorgeously they ride. Enjoy!!

It really does, i was very surprised, I've had an 853 track frame before and cant remember it feeling anywhere near as good as this does. Very excited to get some miles in on it this week.

Thats actually quite interesting, considering they're all black! What do you find 'in ya face' about them?! Genuinely curious!

I've never actually tried an 853, but I bet it's good. Mine's 531c, and decade or two older.

offensively boring? :)

Just a bit flash. Zipp's and shit. This is a nice subtle classic looking bike.

Stem looks a bit fat compared to the frame tubes, but otherwise this is v nice indeedy.

853 is just the best thing
