could do cheers

Instead of getting annoyed, just laugh at them. It's nearly always a result of their putting the bars too low and the saddle too high, prioritising aesthetics over comfort, and then completely wrecking the aesthetic to make the thing ridable by dropping the nose of the saddle.

I have my saddle set up pointing at a slight downwards angle, and have tried it level, but I don't find it as comfortable. I could have my saddle an inch or so higher from a level position even, so it's not a case of it being too high, just that's how my saddle best fits. I think it depends a lot also on the saddle design, I've got a kashimax, and the logo on the side is level at the angle at which my saddle is set up, I think indicating that that's the intended angle. It scoops up at the back which accentuates the the slope I guess... I dunno, just a thought

just beat me to it!

the nagasawa is stunning!

youve gotta reshoot the last photo again without the elastic band. so distracing. i have to scroll it off the screen to properly look at the bike.

my friend andy holding my bike by a whisker on a frozen lake in richmond park. we spent about 30 minutes standing around just trying to muster up the courage to walk on it - didnt happen.

slightly hideous but id ride the shit out of it

@ nblakeman I saw you on your bike the other day in kingston! Thought : what a lovely bike but does he know hes got a massive hole in his jeans..

haha , he knows! the jeans have gotta go really. out of curiosity, which hole was most visible? crotch or arse? much appreciated

posted this the other day. just got a slightly better photo. any excuse

I think that Condor is really bloody lovely. What bars were on there before?
I do think tape the bars up and that would cap it off.

i had nitto b125 drops on before, nice bars but not great for the everyday. what colour bar tape do you reckon ? ive always thought tape can look a bit crap, but the approaching winter might call for it

and yeah, my hubs do have gaps -

haha youre right about the aerospoke, but theyre so badass. no way i could afford a new one anyway so i'd be waiting on an ebay bargain. who knows, cranks coming first either way

i'm getting on pretty well with that angle according to my riding position. i've had it like that for a week or so. i think when i've got some spare cash i might chuck on a sugino 75 crankset. and eventually i'd like a front aerospoke, but it's a great ride how it is.

just put on a new saddle and drop bullhorns. reckon its there!

I thought I'd ask in here as there's not going to be a sub-sub-forum, but is there anyone in here from around Worthing way?

Yeah I'm based in worthing. Would be up for a local ride sometime this week - back up to Kingston on saturday, moving into my new 2nd year house. PM if you're up for it

freshtripe.co.uk have one left, confirmed by email also - not just website stock number. I was after a pair of those aswell, but looks like I'll just get a set of the new ones. Not sure if just the one is what you were after...
