The 3T bars have been dispatched! I live outside of the UK so delivery will be a while, but I assume that if they are on the way then everything is ok.

There's a new Tripster frame in my size on ebay for £650.

Only £689 from Merlin in both orange and green if you wanted to avoid eBay.

Also a silly Cinelli in different sizes on eBay for 599 new

Some LOLtastic bargains to be had on the failing CRC - just make sure you pay with a Credit Card....

I have been looking for some flared carbon bars for my gravel bike, so took a punt on these: https://www.wiggle.com/p/3t-aeroghiaia-ltd-gravel-handlebar-black-42cm?color=black

Appear to be £250-£350 elsewhere, so £79 seems worth a try. Paid via PayPal with a credit card, so hopefully some protection there.

Thanks! I've use the regular spacers on the Gallium before and for the height I need them, I personally think the 3d headtube looks a bit nicer as it somehow integrates with the headtube.

Ideally I would slam it, but I think those days are gone forever now unless I dedicate my life to Yoga :(

Very very delayed update on this (inspired by seeing a Gallium Pro in another thread).

The local painter was very helpful - we did a couple of tests that didn't really work as I had pictured. We decided to go for the Didspade Kosmos Supershift Flake in the end with gold decals. I'm pretty happy for the price I paid, although I don't think it has turned out quite as nice as Kustom Flow's example - my assumption is issues with the quantities of flake mixed and the size of the tip on the spray gun. The effect is more subtle, with fewer large flakes.

The main thing is that I've added a new lease of life to the best bike I've ever owned.

Nothing constructive to add here, but I always really loved their paint. How were they doing that? Assumed some kind of silver base coat with candy fades over the top, but I honestly have no idea of the process or how it worked. Looked great and pretty unique IHMO.

I can get onboard with an electric motorbike with decent range, but I just don't see the point in having such a heavy, unnecessarily engineered e-bike with such a low range.

Also 20+ MPH killing machine made for idiots who can't ride properly.

Looks like there are three types tbf

Yours for $4000. Weighs 40kg so doubles up as a weight training aid. https://super73.com/

Yours for 14 grand. Cheers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115886763799

25c 4 lyf.

(mainly because I refuse to consider disc for my road bikes and I can't go any bigger)

Can everybody stop ruining Jurassic Park for me please.

What are you using?

I have Pirelli Cinturo 700x45 and they supposedly have a decent rolling speed but are outrageously heavy (over 600g) each. I know weight shouldn't matter so much, but I can really feel the difference compared to Gravelking SK 700x38, which were around 400g IIRC. I'm also taking the bike on planes a reasonable amount, and always right on the edge of weight limit, so even a few hundred grams reduction here and there helps.

I'm also realising more and more that I simply don't need such big tyres 90% of the time as usually on road or dry hardpack). Tempted to do a gravel tyre multi-criteria decision analysis thing.

Too funny to ban.

Fabzzzz is clearly the last of the free thinkers. Wake up sheeple.

Some jimmies getting real rustled by all this, even though Kuss is still leading. Seems a smart move to shore up 1-2-3.

Should save the outrage for if they actually drop him later, although that would also be hilarious.

1 x Shimano 105 Di2 ST-R7170 2x12-speed STI Dual Control Set
2 x Shimano 105 BR-R7170 Flat-Mount Disc Brake Caliper
1 x Shimano 105 Di2 FD-R7150 2x12-speed Front Derailleur Braze On
1 x Shimano 105 Di2 RD-R7150 12-speed Rear Derailleur

Not sure thats's such an amazing deal now, considering there's no cassette/chain, and you'll probably get hit by customs ordering from China. It's about £930 from Merlin.

It's nice to see groupsets in general coming down to some more reasonable prices. £1700 for 105 was insane.

Edit: see this has been covered. Ignore.

Definitely need some backstory on the lying thing.

Resprayed but still kind of rad! Not sure about the Rascal font though...

That's bait ^

Thanks, it really does! I've looked through the back catalogue of the artists from that era I can remember, and can't find anything. Shazam isn't helping either. This could get annoying!

Picked up some new Challenge Strada 700x40 tyres the other day...

I've been contemplating getting a pair of these. Seem fast, but I've read some negative things about durability/puncture resistance, and as you say, ease of fitting. The guy at bicyclerollingresistance seems to think they have decent puncture protection though, so a little confused!

I'm mostly riding hardpack/light gravel, which is bone dry 99.9% of the time, so don't really need much tread and durability probably not such a major concern anyway. Want something that will also roll fast on tarmac as well.

This isn't really the exact thread for it, but I'm struggling to find anywhere else suitable to ask.

This track is on the tip of my tongue, think it is some kind of early/mid 00s breaks tune, but I might be wrong. Anybody know it? It's so familiar and has been keeping me up!

Does anybody have any connection to Romance Cycling? I always really liked their stuff, but it's ages since their last 'drop'. Their bibs are the most comfortable I own, but they're getting a bit worn out now...

Poor coverage, struggling for time and not much of interest yet from what I can see. Gonna start watching properly on Saturday.
