I agree. The paint looks ace!
Did you go for the spray on or brush on?

This is the cheapest - I think.
I have one of their lower tier lights (30 lux) and that is really nice.
It looks like a dog's dinner though.

What are you not happy about? It looks great to me..

All right. I'm toying with the idea of combining hydraulic brakes with a 10 or 11 speed friction setup, and so far I haven't really come across anybody with actual experience.

It looks really really good.
Is that 10sp friction or indexed?

For cheap bikes, those two look really nice!
I hope you have a good trip.

Green wrap is awesome!

I guess the colours might be a little off, when I run Windows. It certainly looks salmony to me.

Salmon is the new black?

What @Heldring said!
Slave 650b..

You should definitely sand the edges smooth!

Red colour, small size, presumably race-oriented geometry.
Apart from the paul brakes it seemed spot on for the thread..

It wasn't meant as a diss.. I just thought the it was an interesting coincidence.
Chainstays on the Trek look a tad long though.

It even comes standard with Sora

Pelago Aristo would do the trick, I think.

Mandatory Ultraromance comment.
He presumably rode the Baja Devide with 12 speed friction.
So I guess it will work - the only question is how well.

Looks so good!
I'm planning on building a Pelago Stavanger frame set up much like this.

Here you go

Nice! I think I'll go through all the bolts to see if they're tightened properly.
Also, killer descent by the looks of it!

I was so surprised when I went through the pads so fast, because I ran an entire year or more on the tektro cantis I had on my bike before. I guess it's a testament to the superior mechanical advantage of v's.

Any progress on this?

Depends on what you consider cheap..
Fairdale do this

And I found it for a little less than 20 pounds at a Danish distributor.

How many kilos have you had on it? I feels like mine starts to flex a little when I put my backpack with computer and school stuff on it.

I had a similar experience with regular v's. It seems they just eat up soft rubber brake pads. But I'd rather change brake pads than having them chew through my rims.
---edit---
Also, after fitting new pads on mine, I flipped the spacers around so the thickets spacer is inwards - It is supposed to make up for slimmer rims.
