  • I'd even say sell everything, ride arkose as its not too far off from this, maybe spend some money on making it light or get a brompton

  • Its a pinnacle. Its a good bike but I don't love it. I'd gladly sell it, sell the caad7 buy a brompton and have the caad12 as my only road bike. I don't care for fat tyres or guards. But most of everything else I see doesn't excite me like this does

  • I feel you but you are chucking cash in the wrong direction and bodging things at a bad end of the spectrum i.e. Sram front mech, its one thing where you need the best possible built in (over)engineered stiff solution.

  • But I could use the front mech without a bodge and run full outer to the rear. Works on CX bikes.

  • Can you get a replacement cable guide and sugru it in place?

  • 3d print a hydro electronic groupset

  • hate to be 'that guy' but 1x11?

  • Amey’s already been that guy. As has upsidedown :/
    Might fucking sell it

  • How is selling the frame you love the right compromise here!?!

  • Coz I'm being bullied

  • Why don't you sell the red, keep the hollow gram bite the bullet get shimano?

  • I'll give you an entire hydraulic Di2 group set for free, given that it's my fault for not remembering about Soho getting drilly with the frame- how does that sound?

  • I'll give you an entire hydraulic Di2 group set for free

    Hey, it's me, PhilDAS!

  • No, i'm PhilDAS

  • Haha no I don’t mean to sound bitchy. I don’t blame you, you didn’t drill it. I wouldn’t want to put you out of pocket. That’d mean you’ve basically paid me to take the frame which I don’t think is fair

  • I'm happy to do it, R785's and 6870

  • I'm now acting as Phildas's representative.
    He would love to take this very generous offer and will come back with an offer to recompensate you accordingly.
    Kind Regards

    Could I suggest you sell your current groupset items and let Neil take the proceeds or even pass them to him to sell?

    Sound like a reasonable compromise

  • Fuck that, I'd then have no reason to keep annoying you

    :-)

    I'm fine on that front, I'd consider the group to be an apology for not describing the frame correctly when I sold it.

  • I like the red 22, I’d rather exchange money :)

  • Like I said, I’m not sure you have to do that. Seems like way more than fair from you

  • I sold you a bike that I didn't describe correctly, that can only really be ridden properly with a groupset that you don't have.

    How do I make this right? I provide a groupset that will work.

    I should point out - this is a groupset that I have used, it'll be coming off the Time Machine, it's in great condition, but it's not new.

    Ultegra front and rear mechs, R-785 shifters, I can't recall the callipers but I have the correct one for the rear so I'll include that.
