Did these sell? If not I have a bike waiting to wear them.

I don't think it's anti.

It is weird - well that applies to all sorts of porn.

There is a lot of nice work in it - although I don't like the chunky braided cables. I would like to ride it - I think it might be stiffer than initial impressions because there are those 2 small curved tubes and lots of gussetting. Pretty sure it won't be near the stiffness of a top end sprint bike but on the other hand if it's just cruising the street it could well be a very comfortable ride. A lot of guys that have never ridden one knock my early Whyte mountain bike because all they see is the unconventional layout. A test ride usually changes their attitude.

Back to the Cherubim - porn is about looks and suggestion not the actual ride. On that basis I reckon it is porn.

Dammit - is that a local shop where all those paint jobs are happening in your photo bucket - I've got a frame I want a custom job on and their work looks great.

I'll take the Rossin

Is the Bontrager stem still available? If so I'll take it.

evo 533 - if that is directed at me I'll have a look at them and give you a shout after that.

Dammit, not making any promises but I have made a lot of stuff for old cars, pre-1918 aircraft engines etc. If you can get me a spec / drawing and a piece of metal in the alloy you want it is hard to think why we should not be able to provide you with what is essentially a tube with a bit of variation in section.

PM me if you like.

Dibs the mirage brake and the cranks. PMing

I sort of guessed --- the pics above are much more informative e the bike although I would have given you a rep++ for the quirky alternative geek marketing if you'd used the one of your gf with the bike as a casual accessory to one side.

Have another bump. Good bike.

is that you in drag?

I can do a trade for a nice pair if wheels (shimano 7 speed, silver mavic rims) off my broken r400 dale.

Ha ha ha. Made me smile.

Lovely but not for me. GLWS

Photos? Size? Price?

And I thought I was being optimistic! Good karma to all.

Third dibs - these look perfect for my Cervelo S3

Received today - a very nice transaction.

Not sure - all the other bits and pieces are 7800. As I said I didn't set out to recreate or restore just to build up a winter bike that looked cool - I think I might have forgotten the first part of the brief in the process.

Re Tsubasa - one internet site says maybe 50 sets in the world in good condition damn damn damn Saw my first Hispano Suiza H6 when I was 14, took me 31 years to get one. Hopefully its not going to take me until I'm 79 to own a set of these bars. I love a challenge.

What I really want to do is put Dura Ace indexing 10 speed shifters on the down tube but its not easy. I have the shifters but I will have to custom make some sort of through the frame mount on my mill - can't weld because I don't want to screw up all that original paint and signage. If I spot a set of affordable 7800 brifters I'll swap them over. It didn't start out as a retro build - its meant to be my winter training bike. Suspect I might have to get something else for that job now.

Well I thought I was finished then I got some more bits - Dura Ace skewers, a Dura Ace seat post - never seen one before - like a Look carbon aero one but in aluminium with a really nice single bolt clamp and a little alan screw at the front that is used to set the fore and aft level and, best of all some Spinergy wheels with Dura Ace hubs. Still not quite finished - the blue Michelins will have to go and I'll probably ride mostly on the ThreeZeros but nice to have the Spinergys to give the period look when I want it.

Sorry if this is tedious but as this is my first "baby" so to speak I'm a bit boring and obsessed by it.

Must get a proper digital camera instead of crappy iPhone,,,,

what sort of ££ are we talking?
