^I'm kinda disappointed there was no "Ya mum..." comments after that!

^Its so slack, but looks it'd be incredibly fun to ride!

All I can say is, I don't know what Giant was smoking in '09, but it works for me!

'10 frame geo

'09 frame geo

'08 frame geo

What year is the frame Roboto?
The geo changed in weird ways over a few yrs, for instance, mine is a ('09 I think) 55cm square frame, with 175mm head tube!
Luckily this fits me rather perfectly and immense amounts of fun!

Thought I'd try and beat everyone to it with this from CP as its gonna end up here sooner or later!

@angel: I have a nitto adb-x lying around, which I think will look good.
The wound up is theadless, so I will go for a silver thomson stem

NOOO!!! Seriously, get them threaded (unless the steerer is carbon... then get the Thomson) and get a Nitto quill stem, it'll look so much better! ;P

Am so jealous of you for that frame, especially at the price you paid!

I should think that alu would be a harsh ride back then too, steel's a bit more comfortable, although as its a track frame I don't think it would be that much of a concern!

JensLP that looks like its gonna turn out very nice!

What bars are you gonna use?

And first dibs if you find you don't like it! ;)

Change the post to a Thomson and you're set!

Lol!

New seatpost should (hopefully) turn up in next day or two, will post evidence then.

Nice.

I've been enjoying the risers on mine so much that I haven't even fitted the drops or pursuits yet!

^^^^ Have to admit thats one of the best looking 'Dale setups I've seen, all it needs is some Wound Ups to finish it off.

Have booked a place on Arup's wheel building classes on the 24th.
Just finished ordering a load of spokes and rim.
Its something I've wanted to learn for so long, quite excited!

That is one purposeful and aggressive looking bike TM. How's she feel with the pursuits on?

Yeah, get a 109-111mm ISO BB like the Campagnolo Centaur and save yourself any troubles.

edit: DOH!! Beaten to it.

picked up my new frame today love it
principia 54
just waiting on my new thomson stem
and also looking to get some durace or sugino 75 cranks
quick guestion?
got a stronglight bb in there from previous owner would a sg75 or da cranks be ok on it?

p.s. sorry i didnt make my bed had to wake up early to pick up the frame :)

I've heard a lot of good things about the Principia frames.
The thing you'll need to check is what type of taper the cranks have.
I know the Dura Ace 7600 that I've got use a ISO taper, whereas all Shimano square taper BBs are JIS taper (don't ask me why).
I use a 111mm Campagnolo Centaur BB on mine and it fits a charm, giving me a nice 45mm(ish) chainline.
From what Sheldon says on his site, it looks like the Suginos are the same, use a 109-111mm ISO BB.

Wait till you see MDCC_tester on here and I'm sure he'll give you a definitive answer.

edit: Ah, just looked further down the page on that link and it would seem Stronglight only use JIS or ISIS, so no, you can't reuse the Stronglight BB.

    But the Campagnolo I'm running cost me less than £40 and has a good reputation, and someone up the page mentioned the Tifosi BB.

^ Use a good lock! It'd be cheaper to buy a new kryptonite just for the front wheel.

The mash also equipped with Atomic22...sweet

Just checked out those security bolts thinking what a brilliant idea they where and then found out how much they cost... £84 FOR 2 FUCKING BOLTS!!!

My next project will be more NJS and I would probably kill for a Bridgestone frame!

Love the way Maddy gets slated on the HHSB thread, and then manages to pretty much dominate this page!

Seat tube would indicate a no too?

Woof?!
