Bar tape, OS stem with shims on bars, no bar tape, seat post, suede turbo, cheap wheelset. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not how I would choose to promote a company making frames.
Would agree with most of that but I'm feeling the OS stem with shims. It's just so ridiculous.
Shims should be rotated to line up with stem of course. Aesthetics n all :)
-
Just a heads up roboto, that Mike Giant tape is awesome but it is a bollock to get on without creasing, especially round any tight bends.
-
Might do hockey tape with Cinelli Jelly over the top for added comfort and durability.
-
Don't think they're actually that bright. Lookin at the decals they're the same colour. Agree they're unlikely to be enve tho, especially as they don't have a tapered steerer. Would really like that bike with a decent set of drops and some brakes.
-
^^ Er yes please.
-
^^ those bars and that stem = my mind boggles
Think I'm gonna go for something similar on my Dolan. It just seems too ridiculous not to.
-
Yeah, hockey tape is a good call. Fancy some of this

Pretty wide but yeah, that'd look boss.

If anyone's staying in Portsmouth (might be cheaper?) give us a PM. There's myself and Charlie and a few other boys that'll be happy to show you where to get a beer on the Saturday evening.

No one at work understands why I hate the word fixie so much. Hopefully this will explain it better than I can.
-
BTW I'm pretty sure they're called layback posts.
I meant a setback post, not a Thomson layback.
-
Don't think it's been posted in here
Had to set it up for commuting again at the moment but lookin to get the challenge tyres back on and do some proper fixed off road miles soon. -
Is readers wives allowed in here?
-
Needs setback post tho :) -
Ah I just have it done. If anyone needs it: I will upload it to brandsoftheworld.com
Cheers mate. Could well end up more accurate than the version i've come up with from a photo.
-
Don't fit as in lose in the end of the bar. Tried a couple of layers of inner tube?
-
I'll see if I have time at work tomorrow I'll draw you a vector Alpina logo, can't promise but I'll try.
That's cool. Think I've got it sorted. Cheers though.
yes they would. barspin clearance is about 1-2mm with 23c tyres. the issue is not rake, it's the a-c measurement
Ah, fair play. Hadn't thought it'd be that close for it to make a difference.
-
Oh yeah, anyone know if Alpina have a website? I can't find one but I need to find a decent image of their logo so i can get some matt black decals made for my fork.
-
Na a pompino will never be slave.
I reckon the Pompino is ripe for a slave cross build.
-
Yeah but it barspins.
HHSB <<<<<<<<
Alpinas wouldn't change that.

From bar wrap thread
-
Anyone know of a bar this shape (these are ritchey classic logic curves)
that are available in black. these only come polishedI have those on my Pompetamine. Awesome bars. Pretty sure the WCS Logic Curve bar is the same in black. Not sure why they seem to be so much more expensive though. Seen a pair of these in the flesh the other day and reckon they're pretty close shape wise. Finish looks really good too. Considering a pair for my Pre Cursa build.
-
Good job you didn't buy the lot. Aparently track drops are totally unsuitable for the street :)
