• Forks no, but I'm sure we could come to come sort of champagne payment?

  • I think you mean Champayement

  • Nooo keep the boring enve fork

  • Are you going to get the forks rawed to match the frame or are you on a quest to build the most expensive frankenbike?

  • This needs WoundUps!

  • WoundUps are a travesty, don't do it!

  • Parlee Pistas are a travesty

    ftfy

    Don't mean to offensive, rad as fuck but pretty useless for being fast on a track.
    WoundUps (track ones complete black) would fit nicely

  • I am not fast on or off the track and the bike is likely to be used as a pub / work beater so that's fine.

    Wound Ups do not come in rake sub 35mm unfortunately

  • You better not be keeping those forks red.

  • 35mm rake is fine, do it

  • bike is likely to be used as a pub / work beater

    Lol

  • Get this ready for the next track day! ;)

  • I've just seen that weird sales thread...

    please don't put Paul's on your Parlee.

    @Sumo is right, please do not

  • The seller of that weird sales thread has a spare black Paul Royal Flush chainset in 165mm / 48t which he offered at a reasonable price.

    BUT

    I have a spare DA Octalink polished track chainset in France which I plan on using on this.
    I need to purchase an English threaded Octalink BB in 109.5mm for it as I only have an Italian threaded one.

  • There is no reasonable price for a Paul chainset. They are anti and should not be anywhere near this bike.

  • What's with the 'Merican theme? I was hoping for FSA isis carbon track crank, probably not US-made but still...

  • The way I see it, the royal flush cranks are an experiment to test the loyalty of paul customers. Or possibly an attempt to get ed hardy fans into cycling.

  • It would be a pricy exercise to be all American unfortunately.

    Loads of US brands are actually produced in other countries so true American products are thin on the ground / pricey.

    I have acquired @umop3pisdn Oval Jetstream forks (stock 3k weave with clear lacquer, shiny finish) which I need to get repainted.

  • If there were other companies producing compatible chainrings then I would actually ride the arms!

    They remind me of MiddleBurn products

  • Keep coming back and wanting that Enve fork....

  • Good point, they kind of remind me of the TA specialites Pro 5 Vis crank arms. Might be worth thinking about getting a custom chainring.

  • So the all American build is not going according to plans.

    Just purchased a Walker Brothers track disc.
    Miche hub on clincher rim.

    described as "for urban use" - it would be fine to race on but it has more flex than a racing wheel, so wouldn't sell it as a racing wheel. We have been developing a disc wheel for the urban market that is more affordable using cheaper materials. The wheel is primarily made from high strength fibreglass rather than carbon fibre. This gives a more comfortable and durable ride.

    Not a fan of the union jack decals but will look into it.

    Thanks @Scilly.Suffolk for spotting it on eBay

  • How about the carbon rim

  • I still have the wide 50mm carbon rims purchased from @ekudduke and the prototype stainless steel Goldtec hubs in the attic - I need to measure the hubs and order spokes!

  • An urban disc? Now I've heard everything.
