Finally accumulated most of the parts so I can start putting together this Rock Lobster Ti frame. Can't quite keep up with @ectoplasmosis levels of ano madness, but going for a similar neo-retro Ti build.

Plan is for rigid carbon forks, 1x11 drivetrain, 650b wheels with "gravel" tyres and flat bars. Still trying to work out the optimum bar/stem dimensions. I've also got a pair of 26" Hope/Stans wheels with proper MTB tyres which should get me through the mud a bit better.

I might have a pair of S500s. Will have a look through the garage and PM you.

PM incoming!

What do you guys think re getting an Iberital MC2 (second hand) for use with my Gaggia Baby Class (and very occasionally aeropress). No amount of internet forum fuelled man maths can justify spending any more money on a second hand Eureka Mignon, Baratza Sette etc. Could potentially spend a bit more on a Sage Dose Control Pro or Smart Grinder Pro. Is the MC2 really a massive hassle to switch between espresso grinding and something coarser?

Pm’d

Clearing out a lot of old parts from the garage, and found these pedals and straps. Think I bought them off someone on here a long time ago and they've just sat in the spares box. Pretty standard set of fixie skidder pedals. Bearings are smooth. Straps are made of velcro and old inner tube.

£17 posted?

I've got a front Shimano 5800 brake that's currently on eBay (making the most of the £1 fees).

I'm also after one of these, at least 350mm long, if @Po is already sorted. Not bothered about condition though.

This looks great. I've got an old Ti hardtail which I was thinking about doing something similar with, but the guys at Vernon Barker, who are very local to me, said it's now going to be a 4 week wait for any Ti work!

Found a fork. Still looking for some brakes, and possibly a 1x mtb groupset.

Now looking for a fork and brakes!

It’s titanium! Will just all buff out

Im also after a pair of 23mm Corsas if anyone has some for sale?

Ah thanks anyway. On further studying of the geometry charts, a 54cm CAAD12 might work too.

I’m after a nice disc road bike, preferably metal, in a 54-56cm size. Realistically it’s a 56cm Mason Resolution or a 54T Fairlight Strael that I’ll be buying new if I can’t find anything.

Interested in that Talbot pending details/price

Has anyone tried a Palace Disc or a Weald? The cycling industry marketing hype is starting to convince me that I need a fast road bike with disc brakes...

PM’d re Di2

Beautiful bike. Excellent story too. Reminds me of the story from a TDF where the guy broke his forks, walked to a local blacksmith and welded his forks back together.

Thinking about getting a Carradice for my commute. Probably a Barley or similar sized one. I wear scrubs at work so only really need to take lunch, pants, socks, occasionally an iPad, pens and a notebook. What are people's thoughts on the SQR vs Bagman QR system for stability? Won't be doing much off road on my commute, but it's very steep so have to ride out of the saddle a lot.

Interested in the Rapha organiser.

Sorry just re-read what you were asking for. Nvm

Now looking for some bars

After some MTB hydro brakes and a cheap 1x groupset. Thanks!

Updated- tyres added.
