Can I have the bb30>ht2 please? Pm incoming

Exactly like I said, Specialized will tell you not to use it, but it's the same fork. Buy a langster fork, or drill the pro fork and go ride your bike!

Also, sorry to be 'that guy' but assuming this is the same one I saw for sale on the track cycling Facebook group today, I believe it's against the rulez to sell here and elsewhere on the internetz.

heads off to bikegeo.com

Nuts bargain, I'd be tempted if I didn't already have a beater.

I'm a member of iceni, it's a great club with lots of members and therefore plenty going on, lots of people race, TT and are also into cross/mtb etc.

The only thing I will say is the Sunday club runs can feel like they become a little stale as they tend to use a set of tried and tested routes, but the start is always 8am so getting back home for lunch isn't a problem and there's usually 2 if not 3 groups so you can have a steady day in the medium/slow group if you feel like it. The fast group can be pretty ruddy fast at times, average well over 20moh some weeks, you can buy that kind of training though.

Groups of club riders will usually be in attendance at most local events of any significance. Boudicca sportive, Norwich 100 etc. There will pretty much always be a group to ride with.

Owch :( Those framesets are $$$ too... at least it's just surface damage though, that would touch up relatively easily. The bike looks awesome though, I think it's a smart move to have fewer bikes that can cover more bases and then just have a few different sets of wheels for each one. I think it's fair to say wheels and tyres affect the ride of any bike more than any other single aspect.

I imagine this can basically do the job of your race/best bike, cross/gravel bike, tourer/audax and even probably 80-90% of what a hardtail mountain bike would do.

Also, is that a campag chainset? Is that just down to you already owning it?

Looks cracking as is!

Is that one of those 3t aero gravel things?

Lovely bike btw!

Any road bike fork with a straight steerer would be fine, the Langster fork rake is 45mm which is actually more than some road bikes. Even if specialized would sell you a fork, it'd probably cost you an arm and a leg.

Specialized will almost certainly tell you not to and that it will void the warranty, it's in their best interests to do so.

Either get the pro fork drilled by someone who knows what they're doing - or just buy a bog standard langster fork, which will come pre-drilled.

I'm 99% sure the Langster Pro fork is just a Langster fork with the hole covered. The bog standard Langster fork comes drilled anyway so I don't think drilling a Langster Pro fork would be an issue.

Jealous, always wanted a Langster Pro but they're like hens teeth now, particularly in very small sizes. Looking forward to seeing this built up.

Pics Plz.

I'll have it if you decide to post.

^ Same, cracking find. Cheap enough that it's worth a punt, I've heard mixed things on how good the player is, hopefully it works ok! Does it include catch up if you can't watch live?

pm'd re GP4000s.

How long have you had them? What kind of usage have they seen? Considering a pair for my SS build next year.

Thumbs up Dolan!

If you'll post the Praxis for a few quid I'll have it!

Yeh that makes sense. Not thought of that before but worth remembering!

Ah ok, I always thought reach was measured to the centre of the top of the headtube, is it measured at the centre point usually then? Just to confuse things further there's almost certainly differentiations in the way measurements are taken between manufacturers...

50 is probably safest bet then as the reach is already at the higher end of what I need. Ta!

Ah ok, good to know. I'll hold out for a 50 then, as I'm not particularly precious about buying new where my bikes are co I'd be happy with a used frame but 50's aren't so common so may end up just buying one, especially for the money you can't really go wrong.
