Yeah I agree, but I just can't deal with risers, it feels way too bmx-y if that makes any sense. These do have a wee bit of rise to them, but I think I'll struggle with anything more. Had some black cinelli cork tape that I just threw on this morning because it was kicking about. It looks pretty good, because of the black saddle but I really hadn't considered colours, any ideas?

Thank you very much bud! Appreciate all the positive comments and yeah I'm kind of thinking along the same lines as you with the wheels as well

That wheelset arrived this evening and I reckon it suits it pretty well, any thoughts between these and a full black phil wheelset I have on another bike currently?

Just got a wheelset delivered from Lithuania, on a Sunday night!! Cheers @Chionis ! Great contact throughout and everything packed well and tracked.

Pm'd, it's beautiful!!

I have a campy centaur 111mm I bought on here, clearance on the frame was too tight so had to go for a 115.5. As such I don't know how it's running but seems good and yours for a tenner plus a few quid postage if you want? (just what I paid for it)

Desperate to get a hold of one of these, but struggling to find an xl for sale. Would like frame and fork only if possible, but will consider full builds as well. Also, could trade my 60cm Dosnoventa Houston frameset towards it.
Crossing my fingers, Cheers!

This is fantastic, great job mate!!!

Cheers bud, had it out for it's first ride yesterday and it's rather lovely!

Also just picked up this wheelset on here which I reckon I'm going to use on this when it ain't quite disc weather.. dura ace x dt Swiss x mavic open pro. Should sit nicely on it I reckon.

Sum moar

A few more pics, and does anyone know if the mks cage clips are any shallower than the standard??

I've bought a few bits and pieces recently from @c4shr @haveo @Fox and. @dangeek and couldn't recommend more, all parts exactly as described, well packaged and good communication throughout.
Cheers again!!

If @Juicy8 doesn't take them please count me as second dibs on them, will definitely take these off your hands. Can PayPal the money whenever.
Cheers!

Got some pedals in the post from the lovely @Fox, an izumi track chain and now we're done. Need larger toe clips for the size of my feet but the xl mks make for a terrifying overlap, does anyone know of any shallower toe clips?

Pedals arrived and look fantastic, thanks again mate, have a bump!

sweet, dibs! I'll PM you just now

what size is it bud? pretty interested

pm'd

I know what you're thinking, did that Glaswegian just say coke can shim? Fine, I admit it, it's a can of tennents...

Thanks to @haveo and @c4shr I have a drivetrain for the rat now. Went with a sliver 50t zen, but may swap for a black in time. Found a generic seatpost bolt on the dreaded bay for £3 and from the feel of it the seatpost is going to need a wee coke can shim, no idea on the seatpost diameter as it was an old one I inherited, but I'm thinking it's a 26.8. Almost there...

Ok, so actually I have the options of chainring now to go on the 75s (different prices of course). Either a 48t 75 chainring, a 49t dura ace, or a 50t Silver Zen. I'm kind of leaning towards the zen, but will that be too chunky looking on this frame, or will it work with the disc?
Any suggestions?

Fantastic, thanks very much for all the tips mate, everyone has been super useful on this so far and it's really appreciated!

Will do, had a guy at the lbs do it who's been doing tubs since before clinchers so it's on there pretty good!

so updates, just secured a 49t 75 chainring, so thinking 49x17?
