Sano frame and forks are £180 over here I think...

BUY! BUY! BUY!

Do it...

Apart from Cavendish occasionally – who else brings IRO frames to the UK?

IRO make great frames and the parts are all fairly solid, if not flash. That's worth it even if it's knackered.

I know a few people on hear were after them, you should do an order together to save postage.

White Tyres

The** Mankini**, this summer's hot look.

I can't believe i'm taking advice about my balls on the internet!

well i had 25s for bouncing over potholes, which they do ok at.

I think there is still an unresolved issue regarding molecular adhesion between my stem and balls though
:0

yeah so 23s then.

haha.

odyssey mono lever comes in 3 lever styles too. trigger, 2 finger, small (the nice one).

Also neat but with some black to polish off is are the profile unbranded levers. This place sell them individually and I'm probably going to give them a call tomorrow for one.

It must be i reckon, that's why i get skitty handling turning hard on 23s, but less so on 25s.

Classic 'lived in' frames look great with clean new parts anyhow. Are you planning to go for black or polished components?
You could always go all-out rat-look like this from issue 3 of le car's magazine

Here's a thought.

On my pub Peugeot I've got Vittoria Rubino 25s, the back needs changing. i guess i should go for 23s this time for skids sake?

I like Rubinos alot btw.

lpg 46x17!

If God rode fixed, he would ride 46x17.

No way! God would at least know his prime numbers and run 47x17 so he could change out the cog and still have loads of skid patches on the tyre.

Krishna runs 47x17 too I'm told.

Stunning bike, that frame in that colour just kills me.
Not wanting to bring you down from your cloud right now... but do periodically check the drive side crank arm for cracks – I found one in mine last week (see thread here).
You should be very proud of that.

Come on look on the bright side, this thread is for 'gems'.

i'll go first.

I thought white bikes were done. But I love this one.

Hacked Buy a new one

Buy me a new one?

do you think tri ard is a confused pizza delivery dude on a BMX?

bigben With all the mess around I might just keep it as is. The scratches really bug me though. Sorry for the blurry images.

No! don't blast that away!
Model shop touch-up paint, and just be proud of the history. It's a nice, nice frame.
I can kinda understand the issues Bob and his minions have with the decals. From their point of view it's a risky business that the digital artwork files for decals/badges even exist. They want to keep that 100% in the factory. I'd be the same arsehole about it I reckon.

One persons 'Abandoned' is another's 'Parked'
Don't go stripping my bike while I'm in the cinema please!

danger joel also if he writes for skins can someone tell him that no one calls weed "spliff".

We do in Bristol though.

chris crash i had a crank arm snap on my fuji in dc, flying down penn ave towards the white house, snapped it and whipped out right infornt of the bomb barriers.

Sounds like a Critical Mass protest idea!

That lock is too flash... It'd get nicked.

^She's selling that from Bristol.
I received a seat post from her today.

Thanks for the info everyone.
I'll ask a next-of-kin to post something on this forum if/when it catastrophically fails yeh?
:)

hippy What bike is it on? If you're running brakes you might risk it until it snaps.. depends on your injury/budget factor I guess.

Thanks for the Shimano propaganda hippy!
;)
That crank's been on a Colnago, going on a new IRO Angus.
I don't weigh enough (60kg) to have ever snapped a crank before, and my wheels always last well. Plus I'm young/dumb enough to risk using it I think. It filed out much better than I thought.
