Personally I'd rotate the bars upwards slightly, so that the ends of the bars are in line with the rear brake stay.

I am not sure I understand Andy ? do you mean tilt them up 5 degrees

You'll be needing one of these then...

Looks like a credit card and crack pipe...is that so you go faster ?

Fantastic bike. I just wet my pants.

But how can you live with Cornelo labelled straps?
NOS Binda's are not that expensive. Okay, the right colour may be hard to find.

Stem 13 cm from here ?
Quite pricey, but maybe you don't mind...
He's also on Ebay.

Please take the valve caps off and angle the bars a bit down ;-)

Binned the valve caps Mr Cheese
Didn't know about Cornelo but now I do ...;)
I'll find some Binda straps ASAP
Thank you for this

This isn't really finished yet - I usually post the first build to get feedback from more experienced chaps - plus I have some more Cinelli parts in the pipeline

The Pinarello is finished though

This is being kitted out with Campagnolo Aerobottles, an all day saddle and a saddlebag for credit card touring

Still looking for a Cinelli 2A and Pista '67' bars for use at the Velodrome Jacques-Anquetil in Paris.

Also looking for bartape to match this saddle so far I've tried Fizik, Deda, Silva and Cinelli no potato
so thinking to try Selle San Marco Vintage Leather tape

• sweet ride -
  
  

BIG THANKS to the DMC for the frame and the inspiration

You'd think these people would have something better to do.

Stop seeking external validation through possessions and achievements and seek inner peace through prayer and meditation and a constant contact with God

and some proper wheels and the right era cranks and the right headset and the right stem and the right saddle but apart from that

I'd be sorely tempted to 'pantograph' those NR cranks with the olympic colours

So yes you were correct. Most spokes come in sizes separated by 2mm.

Learn something new everyday....:)

Oh and have a recovery drink/chocolate milk after every session; it works.

What after weights?

Weight loss FAIL.

Your body goes into starvation mode, metabolism slows drastically, then when it's time to eat, WAAAAAYHEEEEEY shovel shit down your gullet like your life depended on it.

Getting some aerobic stuff done before breakfast (but after coffee) is the only thing close to 'fasting' that actually works. Then eat a decent breakfast. Then graze little/often/healthy between meals. Carbs at lunch. Don't eat dinner too late. Be moderate with booze. Save those treats for after the week's long ride.

Lose no more than 1lb per week, or be prepared to put it all back on again. 1lb per fortnight is enough, anyway.

For me its all or nothing - in March I was 86kg by June I was 78 kg by September I was back up to 86kg - July August I lived on McDonalds and Hagen Daz - now I am back on the double cardio - step machine and training ride - x4 per week - that and I bought a fruit making machine - cabbage juice anyone - I find it easy to lose weight but I like periods of idleness too

I have no idea super 'p' as I get all my wheels built by Randoboutique but I really appreciate you starting a decent thread about bicycles - I always thought spokes were all the same length

I have a jet lite which is very bright if you can stand the weight of a battery pack

I am going to work on the step machine in the gym to make my bum nice and tight for my Lycra shorts

Finished!

Gizmond - man you are going to have so much fun riding that bike - love it x

I am thinking about cycle touring Italy next summer - anyone done anything similiar...?

pedestrian attacked by gang of cyclists ....that'll be the day

I last time I was in England I ended up toe to toe with some part time plod in a Porsche who had taken it upon himself to enforce the highway code my crime was not stopping at the white line on a roundabout not like anything was coming mind just he saw it and though he'd make a citizens arrest this is of course why I don't and will never again live in England - the country is full of dick heads

the bars Tommy are criterium bars which I have swopped out for low drop Italian bars

I am not putting a rack on a Pinarello

I am looking for some very tasteful bar/saddle bags

I am thinking about credit card touring around Italy next summer on this - the idea being that I swop out the wheels for clinchers - the saddle for something anatomical - hang saddle and handle bar bags - add a couple of modern large capacity bottles - is there any real reason why I can't - the thing that puts me off about about touring bikes is that they look so slow

I generally practice zen and the art of cycling.

I'm pretty mellow anyway and riding my bike seems to mellow me out even more. So when i get cut up or something i just tend to tut under my breath and carry on enjoying my ride.

+1

I might add that presence of mind allows one to 'see it coming' more often than not

My mate Francois just got totalled on his scooter by a drunk Danish cyclist

Four broken ribs and a broken shoulder bone ....OUCH

He was stationary at the time the cyclist just ran into him

I mention it because it is good to see that it happens the other way also
