Pretty nuts. Reminds me of those cartoons where some guy drills holes in his bike to make it lighter, only for it to fall apart in the next panel with hilarious consequences.

I'm going to try and make it down, ready to race!

£18! What a bargain!

Sorry dude, Tomasito snagged these.

Yeah, sell it.

I have a 3TTT stem for £15 which looks just as good! :)

I'll give you £40 for them.

So jonny, I take it you're back now. How was your trip? What high end spec did you rent?

well done hippy.

Whatever!

OK, so having recently been bereaved of my Surly (sniff), I am starting to think about the Next Big Thing, and have decided that, since I was always going to drop a grand or two on a top-notch custom-built frame at some point, it might as well be this point.

But how on earth does one decide which framebuilder to go for? At the moment I'm erring towards Mercian, but this is on the fairly flimsy basis of a couple of 5-minute test rides on other people's bikes, lots of positive testimonials, and (ahem) the fact that they're really really pretty.

Do Mercian make two grand frames?

'The Hour' by Michael Hutchinson is a really good read. My favourite line is "Real men shave their legs and wear lycra".

I'm reading 'The Rider' by Tim Krabbe at the moment and it is also excellent.

Sounds really nasty. :( Get well soon.

That Soma up there - stem fail...

Triple crankset fail too. And Shimano fail. Just all-round fail, I'd say.

get a classic cinelli / colnago great parts, classic bikes ?

I like that idea.

Also - although the integrated panniers might look neat, I think it'd be a mistake and you'd want to take them off occasionally.

This frame for life business is a total nonsense. Your tastes will change, you'll get bored of it, you'll crash it and it'll be beyond repair (who seriously gets frames repaired anyway? It is an ideal opportunity for an upgrade.)

Presumably you'll be putting modern parts on it, in which case I wouldn't get an old school steel frame, as I don't think they look right together. Old school frames might look cool and retro but you'll feel like a total tool when you take it on the continent and the old boys glide past you on carbon-encased Campag with humming carbon wheels.

So I'd get a full carbon racing machine with a Campy groupo. If you want something more old school, why not restore a classic Colnago? Or a Pinarello from the early 90s? That would be fun.

Guy cycling no hands with his left foot on the top tube... tying his shoe laces this morning on Blackfriars bridge.

It's an '80s Holdsworth Professional in Reynolds 531, resprayed and renovated at a cost of £220 by Mercian (stunning enamel paintjob) and equipped with Campag Khamsin wheelset and a mix of Veloce and Chorus groupset.

Which bits are Chorus and Veloce, and which years?
