Soma Porteur Rack

Sweet, reckon you could post them to London? Not sure when I'm next up in Manc.

Prov dibs on the rack, will it fit on normal track forks?

Ah, seems a bit too small for mine, let me know if you get one though, if it's decent.

Looks promising, any word of size? Looks like it's really small/intended for a rando bag rather than full size rack though no?

I think that's what I need to check. I've got some upper shoulder pain on the Condor rather than lower back, so thinking moving the saddle back/layback should put the setback in a position where it takes the pressure off my upper back.

In short, the Colnago is really comfy on the arse but needs a longer stem/compacts, the Condor is comfy on the hands but not the arse so needs a layback. I think.

Aha, still a damn sight faster than me!

How did you attach after drilling, just put the rack stays on the axle outside of the forks or did you have to put a washer to push them out from the fork slightly?

Also, reckon it can be mounted with a brake on the front?

Guy on a black Condor doing laps of Regents with a skull tattoo, was desperately trying to keep up on the pink Colnago.

Took it out for a spin this evening for the first time in far, far too long. I'd forgotten just how comfy/awesome it is.

I've had a bit of a re-think stem/bar wise after seeing how my Condor feels, turns out this just feels comfier. For some reason it's a little more stretched out, but I think the saddle position/angle makes it hella more comfy than the Condor. Bit of lower back pain but I'm stretching to sort that out and it's more ache than pain.

Anyhow, the plan is to get a 100mm stem and some compacts for it (just not a fan of how the hooks on the Noodles feel) and probably find a layback seatpost or fiddle around with the saddle position on the Condor. Oh, and actually ride it a damn sight more.

Looks fun, should be a good post-exam blowout.

Just watched a Noisey documentary on the NYC hardcore scene, was pretty good.

Wahey! That's my little brother's old frame, nice to see that sick clearance built up again.

Afternoon, haven't found a place in London yet since I got to uni and need my hair cutting today before going off to Paris. Any recommendations for somewhere Camden/Bloomsbury/Fitzrovia way?

I'm getting used to it man, I'll keep trying though.

Aha, no worries man, was freezing today.

Das'd a forum cap on a silver bike just now on Gordon Square, was smoking outside the history department, apologies for the shouting out of the blue.

Yeah man, that'd be me. Saw a load of fixed riders and you kinda just popped out of the middle.

@IR outside Fabric with what I assume was a forum ride?

Cage wise I've got some tortec ones for now.

Size wise, I was planning to put a longer stem on and compacts, I've got a 100mm and compacts on my Condor and it fits really nice, it's not so much about bringing the hoods back as the position of the hoods on the bars.

Back then the seatpost was waaaay too low down, current height is much more comfy/how it should be. I am however a fair bit t-rex with a slightly shitty neck so a larger frame with compacts brings the bars up high but not too far away.

All built up! Went with some budget training wheels for the moment, money ran out a bit. Nitto noodles on for now, but am probably going to change to compacts to bring the hoods back a bit.

Grabbed some pics in the mist, planning to get some better ones when the compacts go on.

Really new to techno. I've mainly been introduced to Berlin/Germany based artists via an Italian friend while at uni in London. Not heard anyone from Manchester until the other night and was really nice to know we're making some good stuff. Cheers for the little list by the way, I'll follow it up/keep an eye out for them.

Saw Monoloc and Cleric last night, really nicely surprised to see a Manc artist killing it!

Picked up a 6800 groupset, just waiting on the STI levers. Got some training wheels for winter, planning to go 6800 hubs/silver open pros for proper wheels when summer hits/for touring. Also got a Dura-Ace seatpost for it, that should sort out the finishing kit.

Apologies for shit pic, dark room. Will take some better ones when the STIs arrive.

Indeed, probably going to go for a slightly cheaper wheelset over the winter, then upgrade in the summer.

Thinking these in silver might be nice?

So, it broke my heart but the groupset was sold over summer because I was flat out broke.

However, this Christmas the buildup commences! I'm planning on the following -

-Ultegra 6800 groupset
-Ultegra 6800 wheelset
-Silver stem and seatpost

Thoughts on this? Debating a mavic wheelset instead, or alternatives if anyone has anything groovy around the £200 mark.
