So nice GLWTS!

I would say £85 was not a bad deal by the looks of it...

WD40 might help with the seat post

Depending on fit you could probably lower the stem

Can't see the scan btw.

Thanks!

Loving the Ninja pictures! Where was this shot?

@BigH fiberlyte for hhsbtt?

Edit just realised you need 11o bcd

Very nice! Love the head tube decal

Oh that's you! Very nice Condor, you bought it on here no? I am the guy with the Dolan Track Champ with Chinese Carbon rear from the student sessions. Will say hi next time, although very busy with Exams at the moment so next time might be a while :(

Glad to hear that you're ok and on your bike again!

Indeed the group was a bit strange, I think a couple of riders got told off a bit at the end for riding dangerously. I also agree with the pace, very erratic at times, so I ended up riding with the ladies group for a bit ;)

Good to hear that the other guy is ok too, his face did look pretty bad.

Nice!! Is that a Grammo stem?

I was 2 riders behind them, wind wasn't really strong imo so I guess it was wheels overlapping. Because it was raining earlier that day not as many people turned up so I would say the session was a bit faster and people didn't need to look out for so many other riders so that might have been a factor.
Coaches then reminded us that this was training so no need to ride excessively close to each other.
First time I "experienced" a crash on the track, very sobering and definitely reminds you to keep concentrated at all times.

Wish I could justify buying this!

Does it have a cut out for the rear wheel too? Can't really see from the pictures.

Don't get me wrong I don't want to advise people to not use grease. Apart from that particular set of cranks I have always used grease, and I know there are a lot of people online and even in bike shops saying that you shouldn't use grease when installing square taper cranks, which results, as you rightly mentioned, in the crank not being pushed far enough up the taper.
However I was under the impression (and this is only from observation) that the Loctite would provide enough initial lubrication for installing the cranks correctly before it becomes solid. Anyways I shall use grease from now on and thanks for the explanation

You're right the issue was lack of torque, I have since bought a torque wrench.

The loctite is probably slight overkill but gives me peace of mind ;)

That happened to me once in London traffic, not ideal!

Since then I always use a bit of blue loctite on the tapers, works well and have no trouble taking the crank arms off.

Parts list is missing a brake, will that be gold too?

I think it is 9mm, there was a similar question 2 months ago, see post #2408

Beautiful!

But how did it take you 3 years to build it up? ;)

Looks amazing!

Pink tape works for me too, although I think a fluoro yellow to match the Zipp decals could work too.

What happened to clipless though? ;)

Is that on eBay from China? looks good!

Colour matching to perfection, so nice!

Thanks, I'll see how I get on with the 3Ts and let you know.

yeah at those prices I would feel guilty wearing through one haha. Fibre Lyte seem to be a good value option. Since your cranks are already aero you could probably just buy one of their standard aero ones, which I imagine will be cheaper than the custom "total aero" ones.

Sounds good, I've PMed you.

Yours and @Scilly.Suffolk 's Sonic Lo Pro projects got me thinking about setting my Roberts up for its intended use and giving TTing a go.

Probably going to go for Nitto RB021 as a base bar, and @osiem.co 's Romet cockpit looked pretty nice with the Nitto Aero bars so I was considering buying yours. However for the reasons above I decided to go for a cheap set of Bio Arms too for now. If I don't get on with them and your Nittos don't sell I might hit you up...

Either way this project is ace, can't wait for more updates. Hope you find that CHCD ring soon
