Please do, I'm tempted to copy it :)

Unlike my solo bikes, I mount and dismount the tandem throwing the leg over the top tube, as the stoker bar and more importantly the stoker herself makes it impossible to swing my leg behind the saddle. This means I much prefer having a lower top tube on my tandem — this is even more of a factor when the tandem is loaded. What you're describing sounds like something that wouldn't work for me, but yemv

'these people'

I can try, what's the brief?

That's mental. They're great but they are brakes.

Yup, that's what I meant (or tried to)

I adore Klampers, total fanboy. Have them on a touring tandem, they are wonderful.

I don't think I can compare it with the hydros I know, because those are drop bar levers and my tandem has flat bar levers. I couldn't say how much that alone makes a difference (a lot, I suspect), but I much, much prefer the braking on the tandem.

Thanks, I'll keep refreshing and looking at it. One day, one day.

Heart accelerates. What's the saddle height as pictured?

Via marktplaats

and whatever price you're negotiating, that frame needs to be for free, it has zero value as is

It's great that you have detailed pictures and if this is the seller pointing out the damage, fair dos to them. I'd stay away from it. Looks like a frontal crash, I wouldn't be able to tell whether there's a chance the frame lasts a long time or not (may even do), but an impact like that might also mean the frame isn't straight, you might have issues with wheel alignment, brake rubbing and whatnot.

So nice

Jack Taylor is so, so good

Noobie question, but trying to fit new pads and they touch the rotor because obvs much thicker than what was there before. Tried to reset the pistons but they won't recede enough to make it all fit. Does that mean there's too much fluid in the system? Is it a good idea to open the shifter screw (Ultegra) and reset the pads, so a bit of oil bleeds out?

I bet!

How did you manage to get hold of black GB mudguards? Been keeping an eye on their website for more than a year

Opened this page so many times hoping I spot something on the geo that makes it work for me. Still no.

Bloody hell, I'm 188cm and my saddle height is 800mm

Looking at this frame makes me happy

Gotta say I had a chuckle reading their email. Nice blend of honesty, oooops, and matter of fact. Big fan.

Makes a lot of sense, but I don't think there was a spacer in the kit. Will check again.

Worst case scenario I just use it without top gear, who am I kidding anyway.

Bought a Zwift trainer with 11sp cassette (SunRace), and can't shift to smaller cog, like, at all. Tension removed from cable, derailleur screws set to the point it won't go outwards anymore. Any tips?

Edit: bike has Ultegra 11sp kit

Randomly remembered this bike exists. So good.

Holy shit, that's some good work. Nice that it came with the Nitto stem and seatpost. Can't believe it still has the cheapo tyres I fitted just to get rid of them. Is the saddle still a homemade cutout Brooks with zip ties to tension it?

I remember the Nitto rack needing a bit of force to sit on the canti mounts, you'll be the better judge of how much force is too much with the VO ones, but in any case it didn't slide in effortlessly.
