Yes. Bought them at that Seal Skinz outlet thing somebody linked to last year. They are very nice indeed, but too warm for serious riding. I hope I will have some long slow commutes this winter so I can use them for something..

Edit: They are really nice and soft. 10/10

I have the Seal Skin lobster glove. Almost too warm.

Toe overlap is not a big deal, but with 35c the geo will be slack to make room for wheels.

My GF who's the same size had a track bike with toe overlap, rode great and was nimble, but doesn't fit guards or bigger tyress.

Her road bike looks like this:

And her current commuter/light tourer:

The whole idea of getting custom is to get desired geometry. You'll end up with a frame that has industry standard measurements. With 26" you could push the geometry, make it nimble and handle better for a smaller person.

I would do: 26", 73 seattube and 73.5 headtube and probably 45-50mm rake on the forks.
It will completely change her bicycle experience I believe. Also the bike will be easier to handle, turning around in the city, off road, handling on stairs, trains, apartments etc.

Aestethically it will also look more balanced with smaller wheels.

IMO

Thank you.

I will give them a go first. Thanks.

We are talking 1-2mm. I will see how it works out when I have cables installed. I will try fiddling with screws. Thanks Ed.

Thank you, like @Mechamorgan I'd rather not buy 70gbp guards to sell them on if they do not fit ;-(

Will they fit Open Pave 27c?

I like that a lot!

Been tuning my cx as well...

Picked up the rest of the stuff today. Thank you @Chak
Getting there slowly. Tomorrow I will do the cables, adjustment of gears and de-sticker the rims.
Also I need to rub some more acetone on the stem.

When a longer bolt for the front brake and rim tape arrives I will go for a ride, then do the bar tape after adjustments. Can't fucking wait!

I am really happy about my new shed, even though it isn't much compared to my shop back in Denmark.

I might have a small issue. I tested the brake bridge height out on other brakes than the 5800. Seems like I have been to generous with the space. Might have to get some 'drop down brake shoes'. Paging @amey : What are these called? You got the on your Ryt right?

I have a new 9sp trigger (deore i think) I'd like to swap with a 8sp trigger.

I am not sure but 32-35mm would be good I think. I just ordered from SJS today, didn't realise until just know that I need a longer bolt. Would love to be able to pick it up tomorrow aand go riding... ;-(

I might try out Clever Mike, he has my gf's wheels anyways.
Thanks

Thanks. Not really close though... Hmm, but you are sure they have it?

Wow. Just wow.
Wouldn't mind it in a different color...

Columbus Fel forks and Shimano 105 5800 front brake are not collaborating

I need a loooong one of these. You know where I can get it around N22?

I need an exxxtra loooooooooong one of these

I can ride tomorrow if I can source one locally???!

Exactly. It makes so much sense..

Great. A lot of SSCX there? I guess I'll see for myself tonight. See you there..

Will you be attending the GT Hackney Cx training tonight? I am going...

If @onyerbike passes, I would like the rack.

Yes. I will be using the Kona P2 forks I modified for my touring bike. It has disc tab and a rack mounted. So essentially it will be like the other rockhopper, but with a front disc brake. If I have the chance I will weld a disc tab and support on rear as well

My room mate got all warm and fuzzy when he realized that I was selling my Rockhopper. He got it at a friend discount and I have made him very happy along with saving my self a whole lot of trouble. Sorry for being a giant tease. I hope you can all forgive me..

No parts are for sale, as I will slowly rebuild it for new owner.

I am considering all options.
I will pick up my new Rockhopper frame later today. Theres is a lot of parts coming with that frame. I will spend the evening trying to work out which parts I'll keep for my own build and which parts I'll sell on. If there's enough working parts for two complete rockhoppers I will sell the bike complete. If not, I will consider my options.

I bought this:

You need this in your life:

Nope. Sorry, no plans doing that.
