  Front wheel in backwards surely? You lose the benefit of constant downhill by adding constant headwind.

  Actually I had you in mind when I did that ;)

  Edit: I actuallt saw that after I took the pic and changed it, everyone is happy ;)

  A temporary build up. Need to sort out a new back wheel and a higher riser bar so that the stem can go down.
  I know this is not the way these frames are meant to be ridden etc but for now it´s mine and I will ride it with riser :)
  Alltough I will take a photo of it with a bullhorn on soon...

  thats really lovely. full DA and that rear bridge just makes it something extra special

  Thanks!

  Actually the rear triangle was suppose to be chrome and the rear bridge red.
  Unfortunately the place that did it missed that part.

  Might chrome it later on and get a richer red color...

  Sun was out today so I took a few pics on it before the first ride...
  Frame is DAMP Barbarossa with full Dura Ace (except the BB and stering combo) and Columbus Zona tubing.

  I love this forum!
  We are so nerdy that we start to discuss the handlebar and seat angles on a Pedal Id sketch!

  Ha ha...

  boon - will you be using a back brake?
  I presume the corima will be on the front?
  basically what i'm saying is that there's no point in getting an open pro CD for the back unless you are using a brake.

  Jepp, inte front.
  No back brake, the rear wheel comes from another bike.
  Why not have an open pro CD in rear????

  Guess I might as well post it here to.
  New frame, and a Pedal ID sketch of the finished bike.

  A Van Herwerden pursuitframe with welded trackdrops.
  The frame has pretty cool tubing with kind of Colnago style to it.

  I´m going to try to get rid of the red color for now and keep it matte black.

  Will be built up with a "corima-style" front wheel, Grand Compe with Open pro CD with black spokes, a striped flite sadle, Suntour Superbe Pro crankset and a dropped bullhorn.

  Got all the parts at home except the front wheel, but it`s on it´s way from Latvia...

  Yeah, new pint will probably go on later in the summer.
  But I am going to get rid of the red lines around the lugs asap!

  Cool to see the webbing under the paint...
