So want but so can't afford.

Would be so good on the LeveL.

:(

I'd be interested in the pedals if they fall through, would need them shipped to the Netherlands.

^It's all right for some, I'll be removing the decals from my wifes' car so that we can get rid of it.... Have a great time, hope it doesn't rain (much)!

Tijmen, they're branded Gios but made from a generic mould somewhere in the Far East so will probably be no better or worse than any other frame made in the same place (which means most frames). At least it will be a nice colour and sounds pretty good value if in good condition!

The Made in Italy sticker is just about assembly?

I bought this pair of Sidi's for fairly cheap this summer, not sure what model it is. The look like Diablo's but they have a different color and slightly different decals and panels, no Gore-tex logos too. They're really comfy but I haven't been able to test them yet.

Got the pedals sorted, will be Look Keo Carbons. Might change them to NJS toe-clip pedals some day, when I turn this into the real full-on track build I dream of. But for now these will do fine, especially since I just splurged on nice Bont road shoes.

It's waiting for parts to arrive now, hubs, saddle and chain should be in somewhere next week and the rims first week of november probably. Last dilemma for now will be tires, what gumwall clinchers do you recommend? I have gumwall Halo Couriers on my day-to-day bike which are doing fine and I never managed to puncture despite all the glass and shit if put them through, but I suppose this bike calls for something more delicate.

Will move a fair bit of tools and shit this weekend, might get a hold of a bit of grease earlier to try and side that seatpost in. Apartment's getting a bit crowded going from to three bikes at once, but I mostly enjoying running into a pretty bike when I wake up. :)

Which pedals are these? He calls them Look Carbon, but they don't exist and they don't completely resemble anything I can find.

I can buy both pairs for €85, would be worth it, I reckon?

Nope, we use Calculus Early Transcendentals and Linear Algebra by Lay's.

On topic:
First problem arose, chain is too short for 49/16. Just assumed it was a full length chain when I bought it, but apparently not. Not sure if I'll put this on my beater or sell it, probably the latter because it will look like shit on this bike. Ordered another one, a padded Five Gold and a 7600 hubset. So the build will really commence shortly!

And another problem: the seatpost doesn't fit. I have the exact same 27.0 mm Nitto SP72 as you did, Kal. But it's a mad tight fit, and I could just feel the scuffing when putting in the first couple of mm's. I have no lube handy, buy there already was a fair bit in there, will try putting it in with more lube and otherwise buy a cheap 26.8mm seatpost to see if that's a better fit before buying a nice one.

Nope Bachelors, but in Delft.

Finally! GLWB

:)

I'd go with the second option if this was up to me. I'd hate to have a bike that I couldn't take out for a little spin because of skinny and expensive njs tubs. The Dura-Ace to TB14 wheelset would be more than adequate for the track and it'll let you blast it around the streets and country lanes.

It's all well having a full njs bike for the internet points but I don't think it's necessarily worth it. My njs frame is currently rolling as my beater and has very few njs components on it, but it's set up comfortably and rides lovely.

I look forward to seeing the build pictures regardless of your choice.

That's what I needed to hear. TB14's it is.

Last thing I need now are the Sugino 75 dust covers, can they be bought within the EU?

Chop-n-flop:

What are your thoughts on the modern Gios frames? I'm very tempted to buy a Gios V107 Carbon with a 10-speed Centaur Carbon group for just south of €600, but I can't find anything about them.

~~They only have the front hub. :~~

Thanks!

I'd be interested in the wheels for my build:

PM or mail at redacted

Oh, and the front brake adapter.

Would need it shipped to the Netherlands, though.

If it were a left-shoulder I'd be all over it.

18t Dura Ace cog? Please a picture!

Whoops , it's a 16. Didn't remember from the top of my head, and that 6 looks an awful lot like an 8:

I didn't have too much space, both financially and literally, when I won the frame this summer. But I do now, she's currently on my couch but as soon as I have some bike hangers on my wall the real building will commence. The frame came with a headset and bottom bracket, the parts I have now:

• Frame + Fork
  
• Hatta Swan Super Deluxe Headset
  
• Hatta R9400 BB
  
• Sugino 75 cranks (165 mm) with a 49t Sugino 75 chainring
  
• Izumi V Super Toughness chain
  
• 186t Dura Ace cog and Dura Ace lockring
  
• 110 mm Nitto Jaguar stem with 38cm Nitto B123 bars with black Soyo Grips
  
• Nitto SP72 Jaguar Seatpost
  
• Five Gold top-tube protector
  
• MKS NJS Chain Tugs
  
• 36h Dura Ace front hub
  
  

So that leaves a pretty short list of things I need:

• Saddle
  
• Wheels
  
• Pedals
  
  

Saddle will be a Kashima Five Gold saddle, which I should be able to buy locally new, not sure yet, though.

But I'm not too sure about the wheels, because I'm not too sure what I'll be using the bike for. If I'll be solely using it as a track bike, I'll get a wheelset from NJS-export with a Araya Gold and Soyo tubes. But if I'd want to use it for street racing I'd buy a Dura Ace rear hub and lace them to high-polished TB14's with Pasela Tourguards or something similar, gum-wall-wise.

I'm currently buying a "regular" road bike too, and I'll let the pedal choice depend on the pedals I'll buy with it. But I'm sure it will be clipless.

Most of the parts sourced from the lovely guys on forum64! Thanks V-L, Dick, giles337, jimjamosullivan and all the people I've bothered with offers. :)

Could you put the tool roll and gloves in an envelope and post them to the Netherlands? And any chance you'd want to split with that Five Gold saddle? ;)

And I can vouch for that Minoura bottle cage adapter, works great!

Bump?

Price posted to the Netherlands?

I'll take them if it's not too outrageous. Mail me at tijmen@kervers.nl and please include some pics. Cheers,

Tijmen

If you'd split the stem and bars I might be interested in the bars...

Price for Time forks posted to the Netherlands?

I suppose pics, or at least a comment on their state would be nice?

~~Only need a rear hub and I can start building up the Level I won in the raffle a couple weeks (months? jeez) back. Out of stock everywhere and would rather not pay the import duties. I'm fine with some minor scuffs, but would prefer as new as possible. I'll lace them to a a high polished H+SON TB14, nothing else.

Considering all NJS wheels, or wheels with NJS hubs and box-section rims.

Shipped to the Netherlands.~~

Second dibs if rogan falls through.

Fourth dibs. Only want the hub but willing to pay for everything.
