Talbot Four Seasons

What james said.

I'm buying Belgium's.

@dancing james & I agreeing on something..

I'm buying Belgium's.

Whatever. Just make sure you get sparkly paint :-)

I'd rather have a warranty to fall back on.

Ditto! abet have been warrant for less.

Meh - the min psi rating on 29er tyres is like jokes high, as is the max which is around 50psi...

Get the rims and mudguards painted to match the frame.

I always think the Talbot builds are spoiled by those horrible PDW fenders

Yeah but that was before Road disc rims for wide tyres really existed Scoble's. And @turkish purely because it's a road bike and I don't want any mountain bike components on it :-)

I wouldn't discount how effective the "wrong" parts can be, I'm impressed with how well my XTR Di2 mech works on my CAAD12, and that's running ENVE XC-29er rims with 28c Schwalbe Pro-One tyres tubeless at 55/65 PSI. I deliberately used MTB parts to add to the nostalgia value (hence 1990 Klein paint-job), but they work flawlessly.

Yet you would pay actual real money for these and put them on a bike where people can see them:

Dare i throw Pacenti Forza in there? just got some Forza laced to Pro4 and theyre larvely

Has braking surface.

Brakes now sorted thank you.

Well, yeah, the rim brake version does.... I would presume you'd be looking for the disc version?!

I'm sure you've considered the DT Swiss R460 DB rims. Nice price point but probably not enough instagram likes.

Ah. Not listed on the pacenti site.

As above, Belgium's it is.

Say goodbye to your fingers as you know them.

Run them tubeless and you need to put the tyre on, then change it when you've run it down to the threads. Not a frequent occurrence, even when you're an Audaxer.

Always HED

About 5 years ago I'd have to agree with you.....

I love Grails. Super solid rim, nice aero shape, well wide and works amazing tubeless. Somewhat a pain to get tyres in tough

Did you get these through the kickstarter? I didn't back it in time but now want some!

Just put hypers on hed rims no problems at all.

Yep

damn!

Was hoping you would tell me there was a UK based seller!

Documenting this here for myself just as much as other people so soz for spam
