And fork crown, and probably hubs and bottom bracket/crank arms if you stood back a little. The Plum set sets the bar very high.

Bang tidy, and scores very highly on the "everything aligned" scale.

Oh you guuuuys... :)

It's a shame I can't claim ownership of anything in that picture though. As Fiona told me the other day, I'm just a "bike whore". Charming eh!

What the shit is this noise:
What is this noise? - YouTube

Its only the combo of this rear wheel and this derailleur, other rear wheel, fine...
This rear on another bike, fine.
How the fuck does that make sense?
Please and thanks.

Looks like you have some derailleur chain grab at the very end of the video, which might suggest a very stiff link/really sticky jockey wheels. I thought it was just regular chain slip at first, but looking again the chain movement only seems to happen at the derailleur end, with the cassette seeming to stay nice a smooth, which also suggests it's something not running cleanly. The sound also seems pretty regular, so maybe have a look along your chain for a particularly tough link, and then clean out your derailleur, and try again.

Admittedly, the fact that it doesn't happen with other wheels on that set up slightly debunks my theory, but it's worth a try?

Didn't even bother to line up the rim stickers so that the valves are at the same angle though (assuming the front is hidden behind the fork) despite the whole stickering process ostensibly being for porny bike photos.

Edit. Actually looks as if the front valve has been shopped out/isn't there, which is even more absurd.

Phonetically isn't it Mee-kay?

Jdp and sjc deleted their posts, which is why it seems like Kieran was just having a conversation with himself!

What the hell happened in this thread!?

It seems the people have spoken.

Mizuno forks arrived, now just the decision between the new (straight blade) and the old (more traditional rake). Thoughts?

Also would have to decide whether to run the new forks quill or ahead. Decisions, decisions.

^Also saw this, will add the bright white FSA headset the list of notable parts!

Old: Car Park on St. Leonards Road

New:

I would have, but it took me a few seconds to realise it was you, and by then you were past the window, and I didn't want to be that guy running out onto Magdalen St shouting after someone!

Don't worry Jules, I've got it now, will go get it tomorrow.

Sparky walking past the Dandy this evening!

Forgot to say I saw a guy on a titanium Lynskey perched outside Sevenwolves two day ago, it was so nice.

Aha, bad experiences at Prospect House Sparky?

I've got to be in at Archant at 3pm Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, so also time dependent!

Yeah parents were visiting, so had them stick it in the car. Forgot what a hilarious bike it is. Will put some pics up later once I've sorted it out a bit!

Rides sound good Sparky, although my midweek working times might mess things up a little.

Funnily enough, my parents are visiting today and have brought my old mtb with them. It's single speed, single brake though, so depends what you'd be doing...

Not that I'm aware of, but The Dandy are starting their social rides in a few weeks which should be a good bunch going out on Wednesday eves/Sundays, probably the minority riding fixed though as they're ostensibly vintage steel rides.

Only because it's a Dos? Looks like a pretty nice bike to me, saddle angle notwithstanding.
