So nice... GLWS.

Lovely, nice work. Great colour.

Love it, Fondriest paint schemes are always so good. Looks amazing with the DA.

I wonder if these insanely aggressive drivers are only like that when driving, or if they are a tiny incident away from going mental at all times. Must be so exhausting to be them, and so terrible to have to be around them (especially partners/kids).

@si_mon628 taken off/never put on by the previous owner, thank god.

@kjlem cheers - it's a Hope Pro 4.

On another note, both tyres went up with a track pump and no sealant. Absolutely dreamy compared to every other experience I've had with tubeless tyres.

Finished off my terribly named Big Dog on the same day the other terribly named Big Dog got finished off. Wahey.

LLL x toxic masculinity. Imagine willingly introducing such a horrible vibe into your home

Did this sell? Will take if not.

Anyone got a single Spyre post mount calliper now OP is sorted?

Got a Superstar wheelset, tubeless, 100mm QR front, 135mm QR rear. Removable end caps if you need to change to thru axle later. Think the internal width is ~27mm ?

I'd have bought it back for that!

I'll take the front wheel pls - PMing now.

Oh dear

After the following:

• 120mm 700c rear track wheel, ideally with braking surface. Something cheapish but not super budget - will be paired with an Aksium front, so similar in terms of weight/quality.
  
• 15t track sprocket for the above.
  
• SPDs - ideally M540
  
• Bar tape, new
  
  

Open to swaps, see my various sales threads https://www.lfgss.com/profiles/76197/

Sold, sorry

I've got 2 sets, both 31.8mm and around 680mm I think. -
1 Ritchey WCS Comp £10
1 Gravity £15

Selling my Pompetamine. Had a mech hanger brazed on by Winston Vaz, so can be ridden SS or geared.
Have ridden with drops and flat bar, and also takes 650x45b, so is pretty versatile.

Frame paintwork is a bit ratty - has a rattlecan paint job - but no dents. Fork is a nice light Genesis one. Parts are generally pretty lightly used and overall rides very nicely. Weighs around 10.5kg according to my luggage scales.

What's the spec of the Reba? Looking for a 29er, 120-130mm boost.
Will likely take if so.

Yeah, for an alu fork I find it's surprisingly great to ride, but for the winter I'd love to get a (carbon) disc fork, just to improve the braking a bit.

Haven't been able to find any thing that is straight steerer, has mudguard mounts and is road specific (ie ~370mm a-c) though.

Picked up this Kinesis Decade for a winter runaround, but it rides so nicely I decided to tweak it a bit now that the weather is improving to get a racier feel.

Something so enjoyable about a simple road-specific bike without any of the modern complications.

Looking great @hacha, love the frame/stem/bar tape combo.

Great transformation on the Mariachi @Simba, what's the fork?

Really like it, nicely put together and eclectic mix. Good work!

FWIW I've gone from riding pretty much only fixed/SS to mostly just gears in the last year or so.
I love the idea of SSMTB but it gets really tedious grinding/losing traction/having to walk, whereas uphills become quite satisfying in a technical way with gears.

On the road I wasn't really convinced, went through a couple of gravel-type/1x type bikes before settling on an alu 1-1/8, rim brake, 23c, 2x road bike. It just felt so much more stable and racy, even if the actual speed difference is negligible from a high stack gravel bike. At the end of the day it's what gives you 'the feeling' over any kind of tangible stats.

Don't have any fixed gears built up at the moment. I do really miss riding in central, where for me it's the perfect type of bike.
