Zipp 30s or Hope to Kinlin XR31?

Can't really decide which would be better

Yeah, was thinking hot pink as a contrast colour. Just how best to do it is the question

Needs decals 🤔

Do you have one in 110mm you wish to sell me?

anyone got any 1.25" stems knocking about?

I need 110mm if possible but anything around that would work.

The wheels? Yep they're Chinese Carbon (CN*Carbon on eBay, to be exact) and no I'm not selling. This Canyon is for racing and thus also for crashing so I need some non-fancy fast wheels so I don't cry when some dipshit puts their pedal through the spokes trying to sprint up the Hoggenburg.

Small.

Got the super low stack pro headset on the way from Canyon. It's gunna be very very aggro.

Zipps are clinchers and no you can't have them. I don't know what the current owner wants for them at present so we'll have to see if I keep them.

At present

Most stuff should be getting finished off this week, I've got a couple of days in lieu after running around like a mad person organising the RCC Road Race / Divs this weekend.

Fake Zipp bars are arriving for painting and drilling from @PhilDAS today, which basically completes the Canyon. Should finish painting the Pinnacle tomorrow and build 'er up, with a new saddle that fits a bit better.

Someone at my work is trying to flog their basically brand new Zipp 404s, so they'll go on the Genesis for a while for 'testing' purposes.

I've also just submitted my Bike 2 Work voucher information, so that's a Quark Powermeter, SRAM rings, a Silca frame pump and some other bits and pieces which should arrive towards the start of September...

We are slowly moving towards full bicycle completion*

*lol how long will that last

Yep, I'll take that off your hands please!

DMing now

It's my intention to drill a hole in the middle of 'em so I wouldn't worry much about safety.

42cm?

Got a link / wanna sell em?

Fake Zipp SL70's anyone?

Turns out what the brakes needed was to be thrown down a long hill and dragged on for a bit. Bedded in much better now. Skids aplenty.

Needs an extra link in the chain maybe and the rear brake needs a bleed (I think?! First time fucking about with hydraulic brakes. No idea what the fuck I'm doing)

Other than that just needs a rack and some guards

The Giant is back from the shop. Its basically a very fancy hybrid...

I would like to also clarify that @hoops did not paint the Sarto in question. If he did I would've tagged him because I live for forum beef.

Rough around the edges / cheap and cheerful is who I am. When someone is stupid enough to pay me the big bucks then I'll be Colourburns worst, most demanding customer.

amazing, danké

Anyone know what hubs the old Wiggle Cosine wheels are?

Basically need to replace the NDS rear bearing as mine is fucked. Anyone got a ballpark guess at what it might be?

The finish isn't perfect but hell, what is? A coworker just got his Sarto resprayed and it's so badly done (imho) that I would rather cock something up myself for £30 and a weekends work and learn a little about painting stuff than spend 400+ and be disappointed with the results.

Hydro dip was looking like ~250 so I ignored that option.

I printed a camouflage pattern on to A4 sticker paper, then cut out various shapes. Primed the fork in white, few shapes, then grey, a few shapes, then a silver sparkle vanish, a few more shapes and then black.

The actual spraying took about 2 hours. I still need to rub the fork down and varnish it, which won't happen for a week or two now. The fading was caused by the stickers popping up, especially on tight bends. If I had done the same thing with vinyl wrap it would look a lot better / apply more precisely, but I'm broke and impatient so stickers will have to do.

Quite impressed with the Spray.bike stuff. Wasn't available when I did my Supersix but it's pretty decent stuff.

Pinnacle fork done as a proof of concept. Some corners not super clean but the frame will be better. Thinking about adding some hot pink to add pop but dunno how.

Edited - you deleted your so I'll delete mine. Time and a place for political discussion.

The offer to bring you along on a street demo still stands, of course. DM me.

So according to the cops, without the serial numbers of the parts to confirm they're my bits, they can't get a warrant and thus are closing the case 🙃

Obviously, all the parts listed so far don't have serial numbers, so bit of a dead end. Might give him a call and see if we can come to an arrangement.

No questions or comments on that eBay shop plz. Getting cops involved.
