On my walk to work there's a guy that cycles a hybrid on the path at speed and looks at pedestrians, myself included, like we're the ones in the wrong. He does this on St. Benedicts where you can't even walk side by side; I resist clotheslining him every day

Previous tyres were better suited IMHO; kudos on the polish though!

I used to play squash but I've never played Tennis, I'd be interested in having a go though

Me neither, bit too chunky

No sparkles, no fades, no fancy paint at all for this build I'm afraid!

@TomvanHalen they're Ourys Tom buy I'm holding on to them for another build

Changed the saddle and post on the Focale as well as the chainring (back to 46t), chain and the chunky grips; it looks and feels much better now. I've also realised that my noob problems with SPD's aren't so much getting out of them as it is getting in, seems to be a lot of slipping about and wobbly starts as I try and locate the cleat. (#euph?)

still undecided on the paint

@Mark_Cult ?

Tempted to strip the frame and clear lacquer it myself

Pics on that too pls

Its just not the same!

Ah my bad, I narrowed in on 'compromise'! Not sure I could have a metal flaked frame that wasn't NJS

Over raw? Can't say I've seen that before

Nice job! Looking awesome so far

Looks awesome!

Love Sam's bike! No pink for me I'm afraid, I think I'll just be boring and go black or raw

Surely you don't need the front one, I'll do you a favour and take it off your hands ;)

what bike are they going on?

#rep of course!

Any shots of the new wheels @bengreen ? First dibs!

Frame for you @hudsoncjnr ?

Swap seats with me and you'll see it every time he puts the phone down ;)

It will be over time

Pricey though

Nah the blue makes it look really cheap IMO; raw is definitely an option, it'll probably end up raw with some compact drops and deep carbon or go a bit more classic with a silver finishing kit, brooks and swept bars

Definitely a respray at some stage, as for the rest of it I don't know. Can't you just run a new tyre on the orbit? I'm sure I have a spare if you need one
