I’d assumed something like this but they’re saying I don’t… 🤷‍♂️

The Aethos is pink… the Crux is beyond my comprehension - I’m new to etap and new to disc and aesthetically I like the Aethos

Right, I’m considering a cycle to work salary sacrifice thing via Cycle Solutions - I’m after (I think) an Aethos Comp with Rival AXS (yes I know I could buy the spec’d wheels and part group off here in the classifieds for under £400 but…) I’ve found one in the sale for £3300 that they are willing to price match, then upgrade slowly etc… I’ve never really considered this route before, I’ve always bought second hand and built stuff myself but I’ve no time and no usable bike and my wife is frustrated with ‘projects’…

My understanding is I can ‘hire’ the bike for 12 months (for something like £120 a month) then agree to borrow it for free for an additional 5 years when the market value drops to £0 and they let me keep it…

This seems like a good solution, what am I missing? 🤷‍♂️

Interested in the wheels if you’d split?

Is it a shimano or Campagnolo freehub body?

Regrettably undibsing this - sorry for delay all 🤦‍♂️

Who’s flying down upper street on a Moots Compact?

Popped into Pedal Pedlar the other day and saw this, Sadly it’s had a crash - still something nice to hang on the wall… https://www.pedalpedlar.co.uk/blogs/thejournal/jean-paul-van-poppel

Do you mean 28c? 38c on a threaded steel fork for 700c wheels is pretty volumy - I’d guess you’d need to be looking for something with canti studs?
What is the largest tyre you can get in the frame?

I’ve got some threaded forks but no larger tyres to try out in it… they will take a 27c open pave (measuring 28mm)

What tyre clearance are you after - 38c?

what is the length of your head tube?

‘Clamp-on front brake for track forks’

Ahh I was going to ask how the Moots is treating you - have you got a build thread for it?

Also - what speed are the shifters? 11? And they work well with a 10speed shimano cassette? Good to know

Cor, that’s actually bloody lovely - slam the stem and sort the bar angle out for the photos (and put the Flite on it because it’s a better saddle) and that’s an excellent bike… if I wasn’t building something that’ll end up nearly the same I’d be dibsing this

This photo doesn’t do it justice in the flesh/metal/whatever… stunner 👌 if I could pull that cash together sharpish I’d be all over it that and the inverted lugged silver grey one… if they were a fraction smaller… fuck it, I’d hang them on the wall…

…

Yeah that’s the one, though I could have sworn the rims were gold… Might account for price hike 🤷‍♂️

Also, spotted an 853 cyclo-cross gazelle CM hanging in BLB the other day (stopped by try and raid their parts bin for BB spacers) - £1100 full build with some lairy rims and dura ace I think… only caught it on my way out…

A mate had a red 56cm version of this - it was soo smooth 👌 it will have a very tidy ‘stack of dimes’ weld down the top of the down tube similar to Raleigh’s of the same era - very nice indeed, but who knows what money the seller will accept 🤷‍♂️

Fugly new commuter while another frame gets repaired…

Still on the hunt for one of these but I think I’ve got away with the sketchiest bodge I’ve ever tried - shimmed the axle with a length of inner tube and then some spare parts, including a bearing from a BB30 bottom bracket as spacers… then duct taped di2 - what could go wrong?

I’d be keen if the buyer doesn’t want the ‘chalk farm’ cream colour 👍🏻

Bump

😬 any joy? It’s all I need to be able to build a bike so considering buying a new BB if I can’t find a spare of these

Erm, not sure to be honest, I’ve got spares that will act as the bearing shield but it’s the return on this part that I need to stop the axle being loose fitting… do they look like the photos above and do they fit a 30mm axle?
