^^ Is it worth the risk?! I say bin em'. The bars are already deformed, whats the stop them going the rest of the way with a bit more weight on them and taking you with as they go?

Hmmm, the Omnium in neon paisley....

Maddy - That Kagero is different colour I suppose, but the build is the same as every other fuckers out there, H+S wheels and black everything. sigh

Needs a proper '60s psychedelic paint job I reckon! :D

Well, as the vintage Dura Ace aero seat post arrived and was 15-20mm shorter than seller had discribed, its taking little longer than expected, sent it back and awaiting refund before getting another.

I'm either gonna have to go for one of the Easton Dura Ace (7410?) seat posts that come in longer sizes, or a Nitto S83, which is what I think I'm gonna go for.

Although as others have pointed out, the Thomson seems obvious choice, but I just can't over that stupid looking bend setback...

Thanks for the SLR recommendation though TM, well salve and even more comfortable than the Arione, which shocked the hell outta me!

I'll be leaving it as is though, not stripping down a perfectly good saddle thats already as minimal as it gets, especially as managed to get a brand new carbon railed one off ebay for only £70, get in!

Then the only thing I reckon then is a new rear wheel, but that's on hold for bit as finances are tighter than a very tight thing indeed.

edit: Ooookay, no Easton DA post, as a lot of the reviews seem to indicate the come apart a lot! Nitto is then!

I would like to see one of those Kageros where the owner had had the frame resprayed something a bit different... there are only so many times I can look at one of those without getting thoroughly bored, which is a pity, as they seem to be good frames that can be built up really well.

Nitto S83?

Hmmm, now that could indeed work. Cheers.

black thompson seems like the obvious option.

^ my thoughs also, seemed like a trick question

NO! The setback Thomsons with that stupid looking bend, instead of a proper clamp set back, look like a fat fuck (me) has sat on em and bent em (although I too did consider it)! ;P

^^ Lol!

Ok guys, need a bit of help here.
Trying to find a HHSB suitable setback seat post as the lovely Shimano 600 aero post that was only just gonna be long enough that I received this morning is 15mm shorter than expected and just ain't gonna work.
Any recommendations considering I have white frame, black SLR, black Thomson stem, silver Campag front wheel, silver DA crankset, and black rear wheel, that are suitably hip and a min of 25cm?

Then find a frame that is the right size and geometry to fit all round!

I have a Omnium frame from '09 (I think) and its a 55cm sq frame with a 175mm head tube, fits me perfect with no need for hundreds of unsightly spacers!

.... and breath... ok, rant over.

^^ I still do not understand why people get frames with such a short head tube if they're just gonna stick 40mm of spacers on it! Looks shit.

not bad

(maddy, your version is really fugly)

Why on earth does this have ergo levers? o_0

^^ repped

just old and ugly

Now now, thats no way to talk to a fellow forum member!

Burn the heretic!

Lol! I'm with you on that one, always up for a good burning, me! ;D

That Dosnoventa seat stays/bridge is pretty sweet...

But such a repost its not even worth saying... oops, I just did didn't I?! ;)

Apart from a repost, it's Prolly's Icarus. Loads of it on his site, although it looks much better in the version Tom posted.

The new forks it has in the pic Mayalsian posted look lot better than original.

Panic averted!

Had checked out loads of reviews that mentioned nothing other than that the rails were carbon, finally checked out Selle Italia's site and found out the rails were 7mm x 9mm ovalised and I had measured vertically, not horizontally.

Doh!

Right, made a bit of a fubar.

Ordered a lovely new '09 or '10 Selle Italia SLR Fibra saddle off of ebay, which I didn't realize had 8mm carbon rails.

I take it that attempting to fit it to a normal clamp seat post ain't a good idea?

If so, are there any HHSB stylie 8mm clamp seat posts out there that people could recommend?!

What was that last bike you posted on the previous page Malaysian? It be nice!

Any one? No? Thought it was a bit of a long shot. Back to trawling through ebay.

Um... a silver one? 0_0

I definitely need more coffee.

H plus Son Formation rims it looks like, no braking surface deep vees, or their deep vees with braking surface, the fl42's, but the Formation's look better.

Your Gara is looking very tasty Apolloxl.

Looking for a Dura Ace front caliper, preferably 7403 or even better a 7700, but also interested in 7800 if I can't find older dual pivot caliper.

Anyone got one perchance sitting in their bits box not being used I can exchange for monies?!

Hell yes, love their frames.

And folk legend to boot.
