Put on a new 18t cog, still clearance for the 28mm gp4000's measuring 30.9mm with the calipers. Nice and smooth :)

First ride today, forgot how good it rides

When you start polishing stuff to make it match...

Some random bookman and holdfast stickers i've gotten in earlier orders.

The stays are as short as possible, i'll need to take out the angle grinder to get them any shorter :) but i think i'll give the combination a try :)

which mail adress are you using to contact them?

Winter commuter, would need a higher rise stem to make the basket sit closer to the headtube.

Stripped the paint of the singular. Replaced the old crankset.

Searcing for a good 25mm setback post and using the new chain a little bit so that i can cut one more link and get as short chainstays as possible.

But the new kona unit looks like fun...

not the conti gp4000 28, they actually measured 30.8mm on the ellipse wheels tho.

I paid 800euros for mine because of some cosmetic damage. feels like a lot of bike for the money. Even if I hate the wheels and will never, ever buy system wheels again :)

I love it. Managed to crack the fork in a crash late summer when another cyclist went swerved over at the wrong side of the bikepath and i had to choose between her and a lightpost. So right now i got a caad12 fork on it, same dimensions as the caad10 but it fits the 28mm grand prix tires.

been doing a couple of 80km runs on it. feels good, still responsive and stiff when pushing hard :)

@jono84

winter mode.

got new crankset laying around but I think i'll switch after the winter.
would need a setback post as well

I'll most likely have nothing left except for the cogs, chain and 27.2 thomson seatpost since the insurance company will take care of the rest.

Which fbm is that? A sword with disc brake mounts?
Where can i find one in europe? Been looking but haven't found anything.

A pompino feels a bit boring, but i assume that it'd work just fine haha

So I managed to fuck my cannondale up and I'll be getting a bunch of insurance money.

looking at building a new bike with the budget around 2000gbp and going for a more durable bike this time around. less carbon and more steel, Both fork and frame.

The Cinelli work looks nice. But it feels super expensive with 800gbp for a frame with basic reynolds tubing and from what i've understood made in china. Then i'd rather chase down a tonic supernaut or something used instead

Steel with possibility to run at least 28mm tires
straight blade forks preferably
needs to be avaible in around 56cm (55-57cm effective toptube)
Sub £800

Bummer!

thanks for the quick reply

still threr?

Haha, i'm usually the first one to hate on stuff I ride if I don't like it :)

Negaatio, partially. If you draw a straight line instead of the formed tube it would be quite a bit tighter :)

The caad 10 track might be ugly. But it feels amazing to ride. And to be honest, if the "hydroforming" of the tubes leads to a bigger downtube-tire gap but a stronger/better/lighter frame. It's worth it haha

#repost

it rides really good though

Har du kvar EAI drevet?

actually really suprised on how much clearance there is. Both in the frame and fork. Even a 30mm tire would be no problem i think.
Been looking at the Challange strada bianca, might give it a go.
Worst case, I can run it on the CX if i'm going to do some tarmac rides

haha, Got drops that I can put on if I change my mind, spend too little time in actually in the drops to justify it though ;)

Got the Cannondale built up, got some small stuff to fix.
put on 28tires, switch saddle and trying to decide if i should have the energy to polish the cranks to finish the polishing of the seatclamp and silver thomson post.
It's a loong winter up here though

I hear you on that one. Would have looked a lot better if they didn't do the "hydroforming" of the downtube.

would have been a lot less space for my whale though

I kinda guess it's kinda slave?

Let me know if you change your mind about shipping the frame
