One of my favourite Josh moments. He ran out of room in his bag so he decided to ducktape the remaining beer cans to his bike.

Mick told me the news this morning, absolutely devastated.
Josh was one of the first people I met when I moved to London, he introduced me to many of you fine folk and for that and many other things I will always be grateful.
He was an absolute legend in so many ways and always a blast to be around, I have so many great memories of him.
R.I.P Josh and thanks for everything, youll be sorely missed.

^The food is nice but you really don't get much for what you pay.

Also another "idiots guide to", this time on the website itself. I have typed out some awesome HTML, CSS and JQuery, how do I make that appear when you go to my domain? Just upload the file?

Just create an index.html file, upload it to the root folder and away you go

Grid service is an MT server so it looks like its already pointing to the right place.

Name servers can take anywhere up to 48 hours to transfer. Generally if you try and visit the page in between you'll just be taken to the old page (ie your wordpress blog).
Give me a shout if you need any help with your css n whatnot

I have a stripped and re-covered SLR - weighing in at around 120g

Welcome to a try

Thanks for the offer, I've got a stripped SLR that Im going to try out tonight, looks like it should work with the seatpost though.

Which Syntace stem do people recommend and whats the actual weight like? Theres a few different ones kicking around on ebay but none of them are as light as the ritchey.
I'm quite tempted by the extralite OC road stem, it looks like it would sit niceley with the 44mm head tube and its supposedly under 100g

Really very nice but for some reason I don't think that stem works. Would look better with something a little chunkier and larger drop from the steerer?

I know what you mean about the stem. I went with the ritchey because its light and Im a fan of ritchey stuff in general but its probably one of the first things Ill end up replacing.

Yeah in theory it should work with 7x9 rails but Ill definitely check with smud and see what he recommends. Id rather not have to shell out another 30 euros for a new seatpost cradle etc.

^Thanks guys, cant wait to take it out for a spin.

@oswald Most of the german sites that sell it say that it doesn't work with tune saddles but nothing other than that. It certainly doesn't work with my concor though which is a bit worrying. Im planning on getting a saddle from smud so Ill see what he reckons.

Bonus picture taken in better light

I finally have everything I need to get this built up!
Robadob came through with the Rotors the other week so Im pretty much all set.

Anyway, I know youre all desperate to see loads of pictures of components on scales (this is a notionally weight weenie build after all) so here you go:

Projected weight for the build is about 6.3kg, a little over my target of under 6kg but my the rotors came in way heavier than listed and my wheels were a bit heavier than Id guesstimated.
Still need a proper chainring (will put on a silver gebhart one for now) and a properly weight weenie saddle but Im looking to get it properly built up next weekend now.

^^Classy with a touch of rat, the perfect sled!

Fair enough, I have a CK on the Aende and I wouldn't settle for anything less now so I can understand where your coming from.

I have a dura-ace that you can have for cheap cos the bearings need replacing. Obvs not a Cringle but still realitvely bling

Before I pull the trigger and buy a new saddle from smud does anybody have one theyd be willing to part with? Looking for a full carbon saddle (under 100g ideally) along the lines of smud, tune speedneedle, mcfk, pop products. This sorta thing:

Cool, no need to borrow any spanners then.
Thanks Howard

^The track bb, is it not the same spanner for all of them? Or is dammit right and the track one can be installed with a standard shimano spanner?

Would anyone be so kind as to lend me their rotor BB spanner? Really hoping to get the new cranks installed this weekend.

Nah, 44rn + 75s is where it's at.

Maybe if the rotors were plain black, too much going on for me as it is.

You mean like this?

I was toying with the idea of getting a 44rn or factory5 chainring to put on mine but decided it would look pretty daft in the end.

The modern groupset really works, very nice indeed

Didnt Vantra become Vitao? Vitao recently closed and Im pretty sure the place on oxford street is the same place with a different name, decor/buffet is identical.

What tyres are on that superbe?

They look like panaracer paselas

^Im beginning to wonder that myself but there are ofmega mistral pedals and I have both road and track versions of the crankset (at least I think I do). Somebody somewhere must know the answer.

Picked up the cadence team bibs for 40 quid, mad bargains indeed
