Ah perfect, cheers for pointing that out bud, too early this morning when I uploaded it.. Yeah the more I think of it the level stem seems like the best option. For some reason I only feel comfortable on narrow bars, do you know of any compact drops that are sub 36cm?

Haha, I may actually, not really a fan of risers unless it's quite slight. I feel my hands are too high on my rossin so may switch the jag to there and put that flat stem on the orrell. Makes sense I guess as the slope on this tube would bring the bars to about the same level on each bike. Cheers bud, I'm really excited for it!

No worries bud, took them straight off the bike for the photos so I'll give them a wee scrub and get some better pics for you. Cheers

Been kind of stumped on which style of typeface to use for the ACAB on the other side of the disc but am thinking something along the lines of this..? opinions? Ideas?? Haha, I understand this creates a very niche sell on market, but I'm ok with that..

So far in terms of components I've accumulated a dura ace x mavic open pro wheelset, Sugino 75 cranks and bb (will be putting a silver zen on this), a concor supercorsa saddle and a lovely lugged nitto s84 seatpost.. and I have a dura ace HP7410 headset on the way.
Thinking Nitto jag and some flat bars or slight risers, but still unsure..

Recently picked this lovely frame up from @Green_Wheels (thank you again!) and am just waiting on the last few bits to sell from another build to afford to finish this one off..

Yeah course bud, soon as I get home from work today I can get some across to you

Price drop, please help me afford my next build...

I'd rather not, but can to get them sold. Picking up a dura ace set for a neil orrell build I'm starting and need to get the cash together... The rear does have a bit of a cut to it, but nothing too major

Hahaha, £320 shipped, but I'll include a phil wheelset for free..?

Haha, I shook like 3 cats worth of shit out of it the other day.. Haha damn, yeah these are fixed/fixed unfortunately...

Haha, why thank you! Hand made in India from leather cut offs, sounds fancy, but £20 off gumtree a while ago..

NOW SOLD

Bought from @•Ⓣ• a few months ago, original ad here.

Since receiving I haven't had many miles on them, have replaced a spoke that was damaged in transit and had hubs regreased and both wheels trued and tensioned by Allastair at West End Cycles in Glasgow.
Just looking to get back what I paid for them minus the costs of improvements to help fund another build. Phil 32H High flange double fixed Hubs spinning smoothly and wheels are both true. Couple wee chips on black ano on rims, as described in original ad, nothing major and you have to really look for them. Will include a Phil Lockring and Phil 16t cog.
£290 shipped in the UK? If I'm off on pricing let me know, but seems like a reasonable price for a pretty, bombproof wheelset.

Cheers

A big thank you to @Green_Wheels I Received the most beautiful frame today, well packaged and fantastic looking. Great and polite in every interaction. Thanks again bud!

I'm afraid so.. I promise to treat her nicely though and I'll start a CP thread as soon as I start the build. Will have a few hhsb bits and pieces from splitting my dosnoventa for sale soon to afford to do this build justice..

This is beautiful, love that paint!!

Yeah I get that, I've just always had chopped down bars really, I feel way more sturdy right over the stem than out wide for some reason.. I even use 33cm drops on a couple other bikes because I really don't feel comfortable much wider.

There's been a couple potholes that have had me worried about that but not yet fortunately, yet...

Looking great mate!! What's the tyre/fork clearance on that one like?

That's fucking beautiful mate!! Do you still have it? I'm desperate to get a hold of the other one, have the houston up for sale on like 5 different sites just now to try and get the money together for it, know anyone????

Nice!! I might actually have a pair of those kicking about! Is that the orrell model with the curved seatpost tube? Trying to sell my dosnoventa frame to afford the one in the classifieds just now!

Got one to trade at all bud, I was kind of thinking the same

Couldn't agree more, love the patina!

Haha, I didn't want to say it, but was considering it.. I have some of the black cinellixrapha tape that has the pink under the perforated bits? The grey and pink version could also look pretty good? Maybe? Tie in with the mid grey in the decals without being too matchy matchy?

@ltc Here it is with the bar tape, what do you reckon? Keep it? White? or one of these kind of black and white white noise designs or something that are going about? Or a ridiculously bright colour?

Thank you so much bud, really stoked with it. Way more character than any of the alu track bikes I own, been totally converted!
