Putting the feelers out for this one, it’s something I've mentioned in the past.

Would you lot fancy heading out of London’s famous London for a spin around the Chilterns? Would either be leaving Amersham station (Chiltern line train from Marylebone takes 35 minutes) for a 60 - 70ish mile hilly ride up and down the Chilterns going over Ivinghoe Beacon and past David Cameron’s country manor before heading back to Amersham station. Alternatively I could attempt to plan a route from Amersham back into St Pauls.

Route would be quite hilly but nothing Rich can't get up and down on 54/17 brakeless. Some of the downhill sections are fast Strava confirmed 40+mph so if you don't think you're up to that then maybe put a brake on. The route I have in mind I have done before in about 4 and a half hours but pace will be slow and stops will be plentiful to allow regrouping and the consumption of ice cream and bacon sandwiches.

If there is enough interest I will start a new thread.

I'm pretty sure I have one at home and I will be in London tomorrow night if thats any good to you?

Its just a cheap brand x thing off chain reaction

Look like nitto RB002

There are plenty of BMX chains that come with a single half link at one end

Cheeky title edit

You should go 17t on the back if you want to keep the chainring. plenty big enough gear for road riding and loads of skid patches.

And yes, 29er rims, wider and since most are made for disc brakes no machined side walls. Sun ringle make (or atleast did) some nice simple silver 29er box section rims

48/16 only has 1 skid patch...

also, did you have a look at any 29er rims?

Got a smaller version of the maffioletti frame and NEED to find fade bartape.

postage from the states is abit excessive though

Nah, fizik kurve chameleon

thanks, i've changed my mind in the 8 minutes, build it with silver parts it will look great

My Mankino is built with mostly black parts, and Chubs, and still isn't totally anti. I think black components will look good on that frame.

Yeah, Langdale went to a mate a while ago, Now most of the parts on a Parallax

anti >

WOW, many sparkles, got any better pictures?

whilst we are on readers wives;

what bars are they @c0gsucker ? HW1?

Loads of room! 28's it is. Cheers

Please post up some pictures when you do. I'll most likely be running wider rims than open pros but I'm not sure how that affects the clearance, if at all.

Another thing slightly putting me off putting bigger tyres on is the toe overlap. I've never had any problems on any other frames but the parallax seems to have a crazy overlap. Almost got caught out when track standing the other day.

I had a feeling that was the case, gutted

Anyone know if 28c fits in Parallax fork?

how many bucks?

I love this but the cranks are abit too hefty for the frame.

Does it have wishbone stay?

Cinelli DNA off my mates OTP road bike. It was either those or some horrible Ergo things I had. I think they are only like 15 quid brand new.

Not too shabby for a parts bin build I don't think. I need a longer stem, slamdatstem and to remove the brakes are death sticker. loving it so far.

I think everything will just swap over. I'm sure something will bite me in the arse though.

I'm very tempted to put some coloured cables on it, partly because its previous build had coloured cables and it looked kinda rad. I'm thinking yellow or orange to match the decals. Probably booking myself a ticket to anti
