2nd dibs on the tyre, in case the other falls through.

My problem is that I'm unsure whether it'll fit me. I am 187cm, and I currently run a 58cm Charge Plug Racer (my winter ride, as my Merckx got stolen), which seems to fit me fine.

possibly a dumb question, but what is the stand-over height?

dibs and pm!

dibs yellow straps, PM'd

Gazelle stayer bike. Anyone at all running those on streets?

Peder Pedersens track bike, on which he won the sprint professionals competition in the 1974 Track World Championship in Montreal.

The sign says:
World Championship
1974
Professional Sprint
Held in Montreal, Canada
Won by Peder Pedersen
on this S.C.O. bicycle

Here he is with the medal:

It's also worth mentioning, that Peder Pedersen donated the bike to the auction site, and 100% of the money goes to the danish child cancer fund.

MKS sylvan silver pedals, MKS NJS clips (L), christophe black straps well used and missing one dustcap but bearings are good as ever. £15

I'll take those, if you don't mind shipping to Denmark.
I'll PM in a second.

I'll take the campag pedals, if you don't mind shipping to Denmark.
Please PM me to confirm.

Damn, I would take it if you would post it. :-)

This must be the 3rd time I write this on your pedals:
I want them, but need them shipped to Denmark. Just say if you dont want to ship it.

hey, I want the cages with straps if they are size L or XL(LL), and you don't mind posting to Denmark.

second dibs. (and pm sent)

Alright, I'm almost done with my build, but I need help to pick out the last few components.

This is what it looks like atm:

[/URL][URL="http://peecee.dk/uploads/042010/DSC_0316.JPG"]

Parts:

Frame: Eddy Merckx with Columbus SL tubing. Need help dating the frame.
Forks: Supposedly the original ones that came with the frame. Can someone tell?
Campagnolo Pista bottom bracket
Cranks: Campagnolo Super Record Pista
Hubs: Campagnolo Record Pista
Rims: Mavic MA40
Headset Campagnolo
Seatpost: Campagnolo
Saddle (current): Selle San Marco Millennium
Bars: 3TTT
Stem: 3TTT

I need pedals, cages, straps and a saddle, but.. What would you do?!

Also, I need some kind of braking device.. I'm not too keen of drilling the fork and mount a brake, so I'm down to two options:

A: Buy a Dia Compe clamp-on brake in silver. I am not too sure whether this is going to ruin the looks, as it tends to look quite massive.
B: Buy new chromed forks pre-drilled, and install a brake.

Both leaves me to the question: Which lever, cable and brake would fit my build?

dibs pedals with straps (if im fast enough)

anything wrong with my bids, or won't you ship overseas? :-)

£5 posted to Denmark for the bar tape. :-)

is shipping like £3? - If so, £23 for pedals including clips and straps shipped to Denmark.

£20 posted to Denmark for the pedals including cages and straps.

my all black ones go for 22pounds posted to the uk.

Which are these exactly?
I might be interested. :-)

cant believe this thread. You're building her a bike and she's complainig about colour matching?

As has already been said:

• the tyres will change colour over time.

• don't ever match colours based on a web picture. The colour calibration will probably not be accurate on their end and unless you're rocking a mac pro with a calibrated Lacie badboy on your end then you're not seeing the colour as it should be anyway.

That is exactly one of the reasons for my thread. Maybe someone tried the same thing, and found a spot on match tape.
Another problem is that I live in Copenhagen, and the obvious choice of LBS (Track Bike Shop) doesn't have any pink bar tape, so it pretty much has to be bought online, and therefore from a picture.

Match the saddle

Unfortunately, she has a Grunge saddle, which matches the tires perfectly.. :-(

Now I also found the Lizardskins, which is damn expensive, but also looks like its a match!

Does the bartape have to match the tyres? You could try matching a different part of the bike to the tyres, one thats easier to find in the same shade of pink.

I tried convincing her that white would be a better choice, but it didn't work.

Thanks, but shes seen the Cinelli, SRAM and Shimano tape IRL and finds it too bright. sigh

I'm currently building a pretty damn pink bike for my girlfriend, but she keeps bothering me about the bar tape not matching her tires.

She has Halo Twin Rail Courier tires in pink. They look like this:

Its a bit darker pink than the normal pink bar tape I've seen around.
The only bar tape I have stumbled upon in what looks to be closer to the same colour, is the Soma Thick & Zesty Rose Pink. (bottom right corner of the picture, surprise!)

I can only find the Somas in US based stores, which will end up costing a fortune including shipping and taxes, so that is a no-go for me.

Has anyone had luck finding matching bar tape for the pink twin rail couriers?
