Still hunting, if @Dick 's was a bit bigger, trust me i'd be there!

:( I'm sorry for you for having to sell it. If it were my size i'd take it off you.

So, still hunting for the S-works version, but this will satisfy the blood-lust for now, about to start building today, going to use really random parts for the moment then swap them for better ones later, will probably end up with Fulcrum 5's and an oldish ultegra or 105 groupset in the end, anything more will be overkill i think, unleast until i find its S-works counterpart.

@Dick I managed to find a headset today, still gonna have to try and get the old cups out though they seem cemented in!

Anybody know what the SLX stands for?

@Dick Yes i won it man, doesn't have the S-works wank factor but for £90 I'm not complaining! @jupiz dude thanks so much for sending the link! I had already bought it by the time i saw this message but you pulled an absolute blinder sending it anyway! Cheers lad.

Think the BB shell may be knackered :/, plus the included headset was literally DUST on the inside, but I'm hoping a pressfitt bb and new headset will get it on its way. gonna build it up with crap parts for the time and then upgrade part by part when I've got the funds.

Already posted in wanted, just posting here to be thorough, if anyone has an S-works E5 aerotec frame there willing to part with, in a 58 or something close, shout me!

Built up my Gazelle AB with modern parts, very happy with it

Hey, I'm on the lookout for an s works e5 aerotec frame in red, anyone got one lying around?

.

Hey is this still for sale?

Ha yes a Brooks Cambium would be perfect as i am vegan, the leather saddle is just what came with the frame when i bought it, can't bring myself to remove the stickers though, i like them!

Haha i'd like to think it comes under b), personally i love the look of new parts on steel frames!

Cheers! Oops i never knew that!

I just ended up keeping the Campagnolo headset that was on it when i got it, it seems fine for now

Just finished building up my summer bike, i picture logged the whole thing from start to finish if anyone wants to check it here on the forum...

Part 2:

Installed the chain, wired up the brakes and gears, took a while to tune them up, threw on some peddles and a bottle.

Complete/Final shots

Inspired by Anidel's Holdsworth project and then this Ron Cooper build: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/133015/?offset=57625#comment8615335 made me wanna add some modern tech.

Decided to picture log the whole thing, so, here it is...

So, heres the bike before, some good kit on it but a little bit dated,

Picked up a new 105 group from Evans..

Stripped the bike down and installed the shifters and callipers

Cheeky decal shot..

Time to throw on the bottom bracket..

Wheels finally came in the post..

Front and rear mech installed..

Starting to come together..

Part two coming up...

n

Hmm, i may be experiencing buyers remorse now.

Stumbled across this on the interwebb.. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/limits-the-world-s-smartest-cycling-power-meter

obviously i don't work for the company or anything, but i think its a cool product, so, if your into that thing, you can get it at a pretty good price right now, another 8 months for delivery though.

What do you think?

.

Is the group sold?

What diameters are those stems?

Give it a week or two and it'll be on gumtree or the bay, just gotta keep looking. I remember i found my old red raleigh frame on eBay almost 6 months after it was stolen! But it cost like £20, and it had been dismantled so i just left it, the guy had a ton of bikes for sale though. It'll show up.

I found the perfect frame for my build on a website in the Netherlands, the seller says he's investigating shipping to London but may be too much trouble, i know lots of bikes get sold from netherlands and poland here, can you give me some suggestions so i can show him it needn't be troublesome!

Thanks for the info scilly suffolk, very helpful.

Alkali, that looks awesome! It held up great for a few years ago, did you clear coat it?

Also do i have to tag you guys names or can you just see it anyway? Im kind of new here.Lug lining pen looks like a great tool, may have to go for that now!
+OneLessCardigan did you get good results with the lacquer? Im scared that it'll run over my new paint job, but i know its a must for putting decals/lug linings on anyway.
