  These look almost identical to the Bikedoc bars I have in terms of cable routing. It’s tight, and a faff, but definitely doable with patience

  Nice! Really like mine. Wish the tops were slimmer, the dimensions weren’t printed front and centre and the forearm cutout wasn’t there, but good bars.

  Hang on. These aren’t Bikedoc. What have you got?

  Need the washer pictured. Has a little nub for a chain spotter. Came with most braze on Sram mechs I believe.

  Thanks!

  Celebrating my lowest mileage year in a while by treating myself to a Venge from @coffeekeyboard. I've not updated this thread in a while, but seeing as this is a certified forum bike (two or three previous owners) I thought it only right to share my experience with it.

  It's always been a dream bike of mine since 2012 when I really got in to riding, the McLaren collaboration blew my socks off as a 15 year old. At the time my budget could only stretch to a £250 frameset from eBay that, to its credit has lasted me ever since. I’ve always thought this bike was a bit big for me and my short legs (54cm), so while I’m not getting out on the bike much, why not make the riding I do get out for a bit different. (Smaller).

  This bike will be a transfer of all my existing bits. Looking to ascend closer to HHSRB greatness, or at least give fat tubes, skinny rims something to get excited about.

  First issue with build up has been understanding what an OSBB is, and what I'm going to do about it. It's currently got a shimano BB installed, and I've fitted my GXP crankset using a non-drive side reducer sleeve. It spins smoothly, but with a fair bit more resistance than the BSA GXP BB I've taken it from. Has anyone had experience with GXP reducers before? I don't think it's going to be a permanent solution, but I'd rather make sure the bike fits before forking out for the correct BB.

  Hoping to have it more or less ready to ride this weekend.
