You wouldn't need two if you get DF3. Or you could have training and racing bike. So many reasons.
Either way, I do want your Rourke, but can't afford it at the moment.

Fucking hell some one please buy the df3 before I do something stupid

Sell me your Rourke? :)
Just an idea.

Got DASblanked by the owner of this tonight, Tooley street around 8pm:

Pops in Highbury Fields today as I was on my way from dimi's , Hi!

Did I say "Morning" to Jonny on a grey Fuji around 9 in N1? My eyes been extra shit today.

That is on a previous page ^.
Makes me think of a respray too.

those saddles used to be very common on a track.

Not sure how I missed that bike, there wasn't too many other cyclists.

^ Hi! Sorry i missed you. Were you on your Roberts?

Spotted a chap on a nice cherry red Tom Boards(?) doing fixed laps at Regents Park.
Also spotted a blue Mercian on a pavement which looked familiar. Upstart?
Hi all! I was a guy doing laps on a black Rourke in LMNH kit.

Yesterday spotted Dom and Pops shouting abuse at peds (me) on Canonbury road. I see you :)

What are those rims?

Agree, prefer steel though...

Same here, 3 out of 3 are steel in my stable.

It's a very very decent bike for people who like that kinda stuff.

There's a track version in classifieds on a forum. If I'm right it's alloy, not steel.

^^ You should have! Still rolling with a style.
A bit too warm for me today, brain melted.

Really want that Look too.
The only thing that annoys me are badly fitted tires.

^^I used to love Mavic until today. From now on I'll admire them from a distance.

^Apparently hubs I got require pretty high tension on non drive side, and Open Pros don't deal with that too well.

I had a conversation with a wheel builder and we discussed rims options.
Taking in factor that I'm 90 kg, using those specific hubs, for my budget, we ended up with two best options, Archetype or Kinlin XC 279. Archetypes are available today, so I can have my wheels build by Wednesday.

Thanks Rob.
I'll get mine a bit cheaper elsewhere, and grey isn't an option, sorry to repeat myself.

I thought of them first, but they're not in stock at the moment. Silver or Black are my only quick options.
I don't mind to much either of options.

Advise needed.
Just discovered this on my rear rim:

My best/quick/cheapest option at the moment is either silver or black Archetypes rebuild on to the my Veloce hubs. It turnes out to be available locally, and is best price/strength ratio at the moment. So my mind is pretty made up about rims. I have to make up my mind by tonight what color.
My only reasoning for black is that polished silver are just to shiny.

What do people think?

This is the bike in question:

I thought he was on a way back after the ride already.

Spotted, with a corner of my eye, Ken (not sure what's your forum name) among other bunch of cyclist in a cafe in East Finchley around 9 this morning.

Ninja spot of Elra last night, north of London Bridge after 7, heading towards St.Pauls I guess.

Same as the rest, sad to hear the news.
It's been a great shop as they always had some stock that others didn't, sometimes the only option of picking it up in London.

Hope things go well for them in a future.

Conquistador, you're a darling. I've had that for my son. £36!

Good buy, it looks barely used too.

Make sure coffee is very coarse grind as it will get bitter if you use fine grind.
I used about 1 part of coffee to 6 parts of cold filtered water.
24 hours later drain and enjoy.
Sometimes adding extra water later improves the taste too.
Go play.
