Great thread - my parents are up in Shropshire so will definitely give that build school a look.
I vote commute the shit out of it. That paint in 5 years of commuting with all the dings, scrapes and general abuse will look ace. Don’t let it be something that hardly gets ridden - smash it!

That’s a bonkers take. It’s not a club run to the local cafe.
-
That was a racing incident if ever a I’ve seen one. Numerous different things happened in an instant, wasn’t one persons fault. Absolutely gutted for Degenkolb, was really rooting for him.

More like Krappstein amirite
-
Wowzers, that is really beautiful
-
This completely rules!

I think this might depend on whether Truss tries to get a list in for the Lords (and who is on it). I can imagine that would see some healthy backlash!
-
This looks so fun - great build!
-
Yeah great tune! High Command, Enforced and Fugitive are favourites up that street if you like the hardcore / thrash crossover style.
-
Yeah 650b carbon rims. Would recommend the set-up.
-
Heading home this eve, so last outing in Shropshire for a while. Some solid sfab / gravé intervals were had. Even got shouted at by a farmer before we realised we are related. Classic Shropshire.
-
Nothing I love more than Broad on an absolute rampage!
-
Sorry to hear that Hippy, still managed a greater distance fucked than I’d manage at full health! Look forward to the next adventure you undertake.
-
Yeah, was the rise more than the width that struck me! Not sure I’d be able to control the speed the front end pops up with that, as I’m so used to a longer lower set-up.
I’m getting on a bit now and tried a mates 22” wheel bmx - it was really nice to ride. If you’re no longer spinning much and just flowing around and trails riding it’s a good option for me I think.
[edit, this was in reply to Jameski!]

This looks great, something so good about the T-1 shape. What are those bars - look enormous!
-
This is great! Moar burnouts! It needs a partner for drag races.
-
Rowdy! Love it.
-
Up in Shropshire for the week seeing family and very glad I brought the monster truck as am having huge fun exploring on and off-road up here. About 30 mins on the peaceful lanes and you’re into endless hills, bridleways, super techy descents and savage climbs. Had a huge amount of fun today - got totally lost in the best possible way.
-
Yikes that’s good
-
That was the goal! Not racing road bikes anymore so got rid of the race bike and winter beater and replaced them both with this. It’s one of the Stayer Crit batch frames, but Sam put some mudguard mounts on for me and takes 28c plus guards. So should be the perfect mix of lively, fast ride for smashing around in Summer but enough comfort and clearance to handle the winter miles too.
-
Finally finished building up the Stayer and took it for a long first ride today. Few little niggles to sort (my mechanic skills not the frame) but the ride is really great - going to be a great companion for year-round miles. Will be getting some silly wheels for summer, but current set-up is perfect for this weather.

Slightly off topic, but just dug a pair of Giro Empires out of the cupboard that I bought a few years ago because total bargain. In getting them set-up, I’ve found one of the cleat bolt holes has no thread in it at all! So can only put two screws in. Any idea if I could bodge this without dying, or should I just reserve these for turbo use?
