No, that's the fine work of @mariofuckinghantous. And all profits from them go to the forum.

belated new years update here.

It's still racking up commuting miles like a champ, just with some new stuff from santa (thomson + old slr) and some minor aesthetic tweaks. I rattle-canned the Deda logos off the forks and replaced with an appropriately silly sticker, and added some forum branding (double gold foil ftw).

Thanks Mario!

PM'd :)

2nd dibs on Thomson stem

yellow/black >>

... although does look a bit like a close up of homer simpsons facial hair...

Indeed it was!

Pretty sure I saw @Bezzin at the end of Oakhill road today? Also guy on a chrome bianchi pista w/riser, wearing shorts and a green fannypack going down Fulham palace road around 7.50. Looked like he could be on here..

getting sweaty palms looking at that group...

Sooooollllddd (pending payment)

Ah I wasn't aware of the ride. Price>looks>weight>comfort was the mantra behind the fork purchase this time though

I've got a load of these MKS flats (in black and silver) if your interested

Could also throw in some cages/straps

bump

ah if they're that small I'll undibs.

The Union Jack bogo probably boosts resale value a good £4

2nd dibs pls

Colour coordination is so on point with this....

that is praise indeed. thanks.

I've had fevered dreams about getting some wound-ups on this, but they're soooo pricey, and actually not all that light. I did switch up the parts bin saddle for a selle SLR XP which I managed to swoop on ebay though. +1 carbon there I guess.

Yeah I have - and actually I've got them on my ribble, but since I'm commuting to college on it I don't really have the time/space when I arrive to be messing about with the shoes

That was the aim. The only one worthy of the full 10/10 is this though...

Although the rake is about a cm more (44mm vs 36 on the original I think) the shorter crown to axel seems to kinda counteract this (?) in terms of how it handles. Basically the actually steering feels uncanny compared to the old one, and acceleration is noticably better. Also feels particularly good uphill of course...

Would highly recommend
