Handsome build!

Anyone in West London have Shimano DM chainring lockring tool?

Park LRT-4

Looks the same as the Shimano TL-FC41(?) but am SW down in KT6. Could meet in RP if you don't find something closer..

I think I've got 45s

Might want to double check that, these are 45s on 35c tyres, blow upto 38mm and there isn't much wiggle room..

KT6 about counts as London right?! but may not be convenient, drop me a message if something might work.

Tombstone sticker with RIP LFGSS?

I think you're joking, but if you're not:

Yes, joking to cope, not ready to write the obituary yet..

Has anyone ever considered setting up LFGSS as a bike club, maybe register with BC or something?

If the worst happens.. can we have a sticker to mark the occasion, my fingers remain crossed.

Thanks, great lights and company. Sent an old Strada in for repair and they upsold me this one at a decent price and included the custom length cable.

Also, forgot the new bike jewelry which given the very road setup, has missed the mark (for now) haha.. Cements my place as an aging millennial :D

Don't know what to say :/

The forum news is pretty numbing, had to get away from the desk for a bit. Thanks all for all the little insights and tips over the years. Love this place.

Went out and checked the bike for rattles after yesterdays rebuild, fitted some new pads and here it is. Pretty happy with the extra long remote switch Exposure made up, fake dynamo.

The year is 2017. I've signed up to be a sports science guinea pig. The pay? Just enough to snag the new Hope 20FIVE hoops. Sure, there are other "perks"—if you can call a VO2 max test a perk—but #crossiscoming, need those wheels for the CX bike.

For five weeks straight, I'll be doing one-hour, all-out tests on a static bike. No music, no clock, no data. Just me, the bike, and my own thoughts. Time stops. Nearly walk away after the baseline test but those Hope hoops, they're gonna change eveything this season.

Fast forward seven years, and, well… I hated those wheels. Honestly, I’m not even sure it was a good CX season. Fark that sports study and the rims - narrow, hard to mount tyres on, never set up tubeless nicely, and now they’re dinged and outdated. Salvaged the hubs and dropped them off with Arkane for a rebuild on something much wider.

Rule #1 of tubeless setup, if the first wheel goes up easily, the 2nd is going to ruin the afternoon.
First one mounted by hand, popped it on with a floor pump, no soap and away. grrr, got there in the end..

For the keen-eyed, if you're still reading (well done, by the way), you might have noticed the rogue spoke on the old rim. Yeah, that thing had the last laugh.

It's dark now, no pictures of the bike but despite the blood, sweat and nearly tears, finished with a big grin. The winter bike vision for the Faran is nearly complete-ish.

I've just now finished one of his Pepper X bottles, use it nearly daily.. it's taken 2 years, a little goes a looooong way. Will give a watch..

some squalid euro hell hole

Lost for words, kind and friendly in the intereactions we had, rest in peace.

I briefly ran my faran, when I had it, with a ritchey 50mm offset adventure fork and 28mm tyres. Quite liked the handling, was responsive but not twitchy.

Great to know, thanks!

Still tempted to swap my desert order to this. But also thinking a future strael in that blue would be sick (if they made one). And a Holt in moss. Maybe getting ahead of myself and my finances there though!

I've a desert Holt, still lust over the violet but think it's a good long term choice. Not sure how I feel about desert on the Secan but it is growing, one of the Wizard works duo has one that I've seen a few times now https://www.instagram.com/wizard.works/

Think my partner is going to pick blue. I'm a little nervous about making it work (with cinelli laser on the brain). They are limited to black finishing kit (bars, seatpost, hubs, shifters), may need to step in with a silver crankset.. hopefully the lookbook documents are out today, curious to see the blue with some purple Hope.

Strael in that new blue would be hard to resist.

Anyone got a spare sks 700c front mount. Probably Bluemels. Can the mount kits be bought separately?

Have spare SKS Secu clips, otherwise Condor are always good for spares.

They are milking the launch but not much on the website yet, new colours on IG today and tomorrow, if you've not seen, the first one is up.

Very close to cinelli laser blue..

edit: Gone.
Anybody want a squad of half done marines from the mid 90s? Nearly all parts present and working. 5er to cover P&P.

Fake dynamo setup ready to roll. Being able to high / low from the handlebars is real handy. The mount could seat the Strada a little better, might get another printed that sits higher to better clear mudguard spray.

Neat!

Belated, but was this for the SRMR?

Nah, not got that in me 😅. Trip by pannier.cc, Nelson was one of the guides
