All black, yes, plenty around. Gum wall seems to be a different story.

^ those are nice, seems to be hard to find them. Ordered some 25c gumwall Paselas and Wippermann chain for mine last night, will look out for 28c Gravelking's in a future.

Looking good. Still got bars and stem from your Vig if you want those back.

Thanks.

Will see how it goes. I'm leaning towards silver spokes and hubs, rims could be dark.
May want to use it with a front brake in the future, so might get another set of silver Archetypes.

It will all match eventually, I don't have too many spare parts around at the moment.
Bars on a way are Soma Highway One. Seatpost and stem are likely to be Ti.

I'll use Mack/A23 wheels for now until something nice comes across, Royce or LF Mack in silver would be good.

It does need pedals and chain before it can be ridden. No huge rush though.

Quick mock up from parts that are around to see how it sizes up. Most things will change, crankset and saddle to stay. Haven't really made up my mind on the rest of the parts. Not too bothered keeping it all NJS.
Got a matching black front wheel, which are HF Mack hubs laced to A23's, but not too sure it will work on this frame. Silver front is nicked from my road bike and is going back. Frame has got decent amount of room for tyres, so will get 25c Paselas for front and back.
Needs a 120mm stem, ideally same. Soma bars are ordered at Mosquito Bikes and will be coming with their next delivery from Soma.

Loads more small details here

spiral front

Would love to see picture of that.

Sorry for a late reply.

What frame are you using with all that goodness? It would be nice to see it with that setup.

It was hot, now it's just too damaged, so going cheap. Otherwise I agree, spend long time looking at those seatstays.

They offer -10% on all frames right now, so just do it if you feel like it.

I've only seen another 2-3 build of 853 before, Matt Crampton's and another one. I've got a weak spot for shiny Reynolds.

While I'm here...

Got this build few weeks ago:

It's a Dave Yates build frame using Reynolds 631 and was unlucky to be resprayed to look like a De Rosa. It gets loads of attention and comments, but it'll be dressed like a proper gentleman one day.
Most parts got swapped over from my crashed Rourke, just to see how it rides, and I enjoy it a lot so far. Full Veloce 10 speed groupset that is likely to stay, stem and seat post will change. It also has got front and rear rack braze-on's and they're very likely to be used. Thinking of a small Nitto front rack and something along the lines of a Tubus Fly on a back, which will be loaded with coffee at most times.
Apart of needing new cables sometime soon, it's running well and very comfortable to ride.

Had to be done at that price.
It got my attention September last year and, surprisingly, was still around until now.

The usual, NJS Export.

Keeping it to the theme, I'm waiting for this in the post:

Damn, you're hoarder! You had Gangsta V1, V2 and this all at the same time?
Must be something in the air in Finland.

Doubt he would be allowed to race any fixed crits on it, but I get your point, he could've had a better touring bike.

You probably mean it's an ISO axle taper not JIS, as a title contradicts itself.

Look here

I used to spot @DragunovCZ1 a lot then I worked near London Fields. We don't meet too often these days, all I get is an Instagram.

Thanks for the bike by the way. Changed tyres, same but wider bars and a slightly lower ratio, such a bouncy bike.

Probably yours. You guys change bikes so quick I can't keep track who's got what.

Loving the chains stays on it.

Black and baby blue are V1's, the other blue is a V2 as you can see gusset on a downtube/headtube joint.

I'm guessing the black one is for sale as it fits the description.

Nobody is forcing you to use Cluster fork, if you don't want to, I really don't see what is the problem here.
I found Gangsta is a perfect commuter, and something like Tour Boro would be tempting as a touring bike with a nice CX carbon fork of choice.

Seems like people come here to moan how much they hate BMW. Don't like it? Look away! Plenty of threads/bikes to bitch about.

I know it's been ages, but is there a chance you still got Volume Krull thingy?
