Death in the mountains

Dunno yet. Probably, I loved the sprint shifters on Di2.

Never used an XX1 cassette, but the X-Glide cassettes are bloody noisy. Not quite a noisy as the old Powerdome ones, as I think the extra machining helps reduce the echo-chamber effect, but much, much noisier than a Shimano cassette.

It'll muffle my whimpers of pain as I drag my bloated, fatty body up a mild incline then. A feature, not a bug.

These are great wheels, very fast- make an awesome firework noise under braking. Sadly they are, at 27.3mm, too wide for a vintage Klein frame as they rub under power (chainstay).

Might this be your current projects thread after all, @dammit ?

Talbot Frameworks Gravity Shadow

Busyman saddle covering?

Yarp, comes with two rolls of matching tape.

Nice. I have a collection of saddles to ship off to Mr. Busyman sometime soon.

He bought the saddle locally as I would not have time to get one before heading over, I transferred him the AUD for it and the recover.

Lovely finish! Some more photos if you get a chance?

I have to pack for New Zealand tonight, will have to see what time I have left

Ohh this is the Tintin themed bike @hoops is painting isn't it 😏

Quite possibly. If anyone is in the Heathrow area on Tuesday night, travelling to Bristol, and wishes to help get the last few parts to Rob please do speak up
