that was what I thought - although a little disappointed to shave precious millimeters off my pads. Cheers.

Any favoured pads for basalt brake track clinchers? Lifeline Blue seem to be the best value for money option, Black Prince for those wanting to spend more

I'm currently running H Plus Son Archetypes with Campagnolo Chorus Skeleton Brakes - there is roughly 1.5mm clearance between the brake pads and the rims (at most), having the calipers set as wide as they can go. I'm using the stock Campagnolo pads that come supplied with the calipers.

I'm a little dubious that >25mm rims will clear the brakepads. Is anyone here running wide (>25mm) carbon clincher rims with Skeleton brakes? Googling it, I can only seem to find people talking about tyre width/brake clearance, rather than rim width...

Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of carbon clincher rims from the various well-established suppliers (FarSports, Yishun, ACE, Light-Bicycle etc)? They all seem to have slightly different profiles, but most seem to use similar construction (titanium wire bead reinforcement, basalt brake surface etc).

FarSports seem to be the only one with UCI status - whether that's just because they have the money to pay for testing (if that's how it works), or whether they have a superior construction, I don't know.

Rapha, y u no design all gilets with pockets?!

They have a reasonable selection of kit, provided it's either Assos, Rudy Project or a handful of others. I bought a pair of Rudy Projects from them a few months ago, they were good in getting the combination of frames/lenses that I wanted fairly quickly.

...it's also handy to be able to try on various Assos items on for size, and then buy the previous years version online for 50% less.

Searching for some OTR frames in Reynolds 953/931 led me to Gosforth. I believe they source the frames from Ora Engineering, the same people who produce for Genesis, Rikelau etc.

A pleasure to deal with, so I thought it would be good to try and raise their profile a little...

intrigued to see what reviews of the production units will say... DC Rainmaker's report on a pre-production unit wasn't exactly glowing.

Fantastic thread - frame and forks look great. Looking forward to the finished article.

Nope, black "Soigneur" jersey, red Genesis, carradice on the back - very aero.

...I think you may have scalped me in RP this morning. Quite glad I wasn't a witness to the undoing of said stitching.

are you sure they were there? Riding sans vêtements is very good for reducing your average speed (ahem)... so I hear...

Where did you order from? I ordered a set in black, EU44 from Tredz on November 2015 - they dispatched them May 2016.

I went through a similar experience to you (pushed back each successive month), but at least I got them in the end. It may be worth contacting a different retailer!

Spotted an LFGSS-jersey wearing rider on an All City heading west along Cannon Street today, turning off on to Queen Victoria Street, subsequently jumping the red at the junction with Friday Street. Naughty!

[snark]how so? does the pink lettering on the bum provide extra comfort?[/snark]

Another price drop.

Another price drop.

Price drop.

It really is. I'm still in two minds whether to keep it, but I need funds for another build...

Thanks MisterEd, and others for your help. The green looks a little too blue to match the green dataprint stuff. The search continues...
