I don't disagree, I just balk at mixing Campy with Shimano!

Ace! Thanks

Next question, do we think that modern Shimano disc rotors with cooling fins (I'm thinking of Ultegra/GRX CL800 ones) are too sleek and aero-looking for a Straggler? I'm agonising over it because they're dead nice but the vibe is wrong... right? My calipers are Paul Klampers. Thanks :-)

I never replied, thanks Yoshy (and Packet and GroggyJoe)!

Good evening. Does anyone know if I’ll be able to fit 55mm PDW mudguards in the back of my Straggler? Thanks

Thanks anyway guys. Specifically after a Kashimax one FWIW.

Anyone got one of these for sale?

Thanks! I just couldn't justify the cost of the King one. Actually, that's not true, it was more that it doesn't suit the bike somehow. Here's what it'll look like, ish:

Yeah! I could never get rid of it. This is what it's looked like for the last few years:

But it's getting a new top tube and metallic champagne paintjob. And a Dura-Ace headset.

That's what I have already but it's indexing badly and I thought I'd go for sealed bearings this time.

Diamant, Belgian.

It's true that I do kind of want the Chris King one because it's Chris King. I wanted one so much as a teenager, it's a little bit of wish fulfilment. Like when I bought my Fender guitar, which I rarely play. However, no one seems to doubt that the quality is anything other than first rate do they, and I don't imagine I'll ever sell it on so...

Shimano and Campagnolo - probably not for this build. The bike has neither brand so far, it's all Japanese NJS stuff (Nitto, Sugino, MKS) except with Phil Wood hubs, cog and BB. I think about all this stuff way too much, it's daft. Nothing against either brand by the way, my fast bike is all Shimano and my tourer all Campag.

Ooooh, thanks guys!

I'm after a 1" threaded King headset, definitely silver, preferably GripNut, preferably new. I just went to order one for a new build but it has become immediately clear that they are rarer than rocking horse shit.

Can anyone shed any light on why this is? Better yet, does anyone have one they can sell me?

Thanks! :-)

Purple!

I want to have some thin transfers made to go under the lacquer on a frame renovation, on top of enamel paint. Does anyone have any advice on this or know of anywhere where I can have them made? Thanks a million!

Great, thanks.

Ok, cool. Should I go with champagne or silver paint?

They're only principled as far as it allows them to shit on or control other people.

I have a dent in the top tube of my lugged steel track frame and ever time I see it I feel sad. After someone to replace the tube and respray the frame and fork, preferably enamel. Thinking a nice subtly metallic champagne colour Any recommendations please? Don’t want to spend the earth but I’d like a good job done. Thanks!

'binge-worthy'

Great watch, fantastic price.

Pathetic!

Pains me to say it but their service is pretty terrible.
