Might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere you can ask them to do custom paint on these frames? or is it just solid colours?
Initially I wasnt planning on painting it all :) But I much rather do these things myself as much as possible.

The group will be campagnolo 11 speed with a mix of record and super record. So far i've accumulated record cranks and front mech. Super record brakes and rear mech with super record shifters on the way. For cockpit I will stay with the syntace racelite II bars on a 3T arx limited stem. I bought a lovely nice 27.2 matte black carbon seatpost from hong fu with no logotype markings. Still looking for a titanium rails saddle since all I have previously are oversized carbon rails.

Second Chinese carbon build is starting to come around. I'm gonna share a few overedited snaps from the parts accumulation process.
The frame is a hong fu copy of the R3 but with some nice internal routing estimated at 850g for my 51. No I havent weighed it myself but i'd reckon it wouldnt go over 1000 since it feels a fair bit lighter than my other carbon frame just holding them both.
So the plan was initially to keep this a complete matte black stealth build but as I grew restless waiting for parts I went a bit overboard with trying out custom color treatments in photoshop. I'm spending my first season racing roadbikes with the 5th floor and after seing what some of the rapha nyc crca team did with their bikes I thought i'd try the same with our green. Here is the first sketch.
Naturally this was harder to execute in real life and being all overenthusiastic about it I botched the fork a with probably 100grams more color than it needed. So I'm gonna hold off on painting the rest for now or get vinyls cut out.

berk composites news from today.
"I could call this project "the ultimate combo".
The tube is custom made by Schmolke (40,8g and I still have to cut it a bit).
The saddle shell is a new shape that I just made, and it's 15.5g. But I see that I can make it even lighter and will laminate a new saddle shell (with around 13g).
It should be <55g when it's glued together!
Also the carbon reinforcement will have a custom layup, so we'll see how much it will weigh in the end... I'll keep you updated!"this is good. crazy ambition man id be interested to see how this pans out

That avanti build is great. But i'm always weary of non TT setups with 80mm + rims. When does that ever happen outside the dental practices
-
Tightened the first bolt on a new project today
-
Sorry man not gonna be near a post office anytime this weekend and i'm gonna be in the states for the next 6 weeks.

Aye man. You must have come upon a juniors frame. They are fairly rare and a good cop for any parent though.
sold now

SOLD
£100 Pickup in Hackney
A project that never materialized and runs slightly too long for me at 54/55
Researching cannondale catalogs leads me to believe this is the 1991 RS600Badass typical cannondale paint job with some blemishes and touchups here and there. Tange fork that has some corrosion but not bad for its age. Shimano headset. Can throw in a low end shimano crankset + cups for another 15 if you are looking for a sweet beater setup.

£40 Hackney pickup only.
size 170 for powertorque
Rode them for about 300 miles. Has some rub the arms on both sides but virtually no wear on the teeth except some smudge so pretty much unhurt. Complete with the pin/spring/bolt and a pair of powertorque cups for english thread and le box.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/436432/for%20sale%20spring/centaurcranks0.jpg

the new bibs though. i've worn down all mine and i'd love some new colors

That will rattle like a mother, even on the Globe with it's integrated D-lock hanger, it's very annoying.
rattle yeah, and weight like that off center isnt too cool. But with a basket bike can you be bothered
-
Big lad on an iro in regents last night. Would have helped but I was trying to stick to zone2.
-
man I wish my suntour was that well kept
-
Maybe tokyo fixed can be persuaded to import 24h pauls. Novatecs would probably do it but it feels a bit shameful on nice old carbon rims like these. If hope would do one, even better
-
Thinking about relacing on of my old zipp rear's to a track hub but it's 24hole but is there even any 24 rear's out there?

Slight update of my dad's Bob Jackson, original;

new;
did you color in the pins in the levers brown?
-
I just built up a set of 30mm far eastern Clinchers with Bitex hubs. They come in at exactly 1150g. I will add some nipple washers before i tension them properly so final weight will be a little bit higher.
holy shit that's light

What constitutes a bad man on a racing bicycle. I dont follow

thanks guys :D I should probably add that i'm trying to do bigger decals and not specifically text cutouts. But maybe its all done the same
