Literally vom in my mouth. It's not getting painted.

Na. The finish of the tubing on the demo bikes I saw yesterday was so lovely that it'd be a crime to cover it up.

Ti post with black stem and fork you say....

This looks like a HMRC tax form

And another... I’ll stop now...

best moots i have ever seen

There we go.

Huge scale 1-10 seems really odd.

I can imagine it's a big in-joke at seven and they all get thrown in the bin

What’s interesting is that the bloke who had my steel Axiom built chose an 8 in vertical compliance when Seven recommend a 3. Which is evident as it’s jarring as fuck.

Would rep. Lolz.

Higher number = less compliance ? huh

Ti seat post with this stem or na? I like the profile of it for a 1 1/8th headtube.

Also trying to figure out what Ti seatpost to buy. Seven's costs $300... Litespeed make one with Enve clamping hardware that's currently on sale for $195. Can get a Chinese made one for even less at like $65 (which I'm sure would be fine but still makes me a bit nervous).

Will it look proper shit if the brushing of the post isn't identical to the frame? I can't decide.

Go black. Sim works, Tall Paul. Kent Erikson did some sweet 😉 Ti posts which matched my Moots to a T.

That stem looks very flexy

Yeah, but they're the same price as a Seven one. I'm just being cheap.

@t-v - you must've used a Nitto quill at some point in your life? Stiff as a motherfucker IIRC. Hoping that would translate to this...

Go black. Sim works, Tall Paul.

Ti Cycles made some posts using the Paul Tall and Handsome tops (is it sacral edge that I trimmed mine to be a average and handsome?)

That stem looks very flexy

I’ve got a 25.4 version on my Indy Fabulous, it’s about as stiff as the ITM Eclypse it replaced.

re: seatpost - I've got a J&L ti one and it's excellent - also have a PMP one which is really nice and a Moots, which is Moots so...

Getting the ti post matched to the brushed frame will be a fun little side project - $300 on a post is daft, $200 on a post is 2/3 as daft, £50 on a post is pricey enough!

PMP one.

That's a classic. I'd go for that, black Nitto up front.

Chinese post with Enve hardware?
