Proper lovely! Excuse my ignorance/laziness, what is that saddle?

Absolute bangers! Hardrock is insanely good.

Try Amplitude, it's a lot better imo. Guitar Rig always sounded kinda crap to me.

Cheers! Ordered some black CNC chainring bolts, when they arrive I'll go 2x9. I plan on using 42T and 22T chainrings, hope the derailleur will clear this much of a jump. Should give a really nice gear range with the 11-34T cassette.

I have serious envy on that RIH. Fantastic pictures too, what are you shooting with if I can ask?

Endless tweaking... Looks and feels a lot better this way. Also I've found the "lost" XT chainrings so I can do the 2x conversion at any time basically.

I have a soft spot for Marins, so this might be the bias speaking but this is amazing already. Can't wait to see it with the other wheels.

Lush!

This thread is pure gold, lovely shots!

This is really good, might come in handy one day. How'd you mount the shifter on the FD clamp?

Strong build!

Beautiful!

Lovely, that stem is extreme!

You're on another level mate, 10/10 stuff.

Cheers mate, I've never ridden anything better in my life.
Also, I'm not a heavy rider but these brakes never fail to impress me, they bite so damn well.

Might need to tilt the saddle down a tiny bit, and I will definitely flip the stem.
Hunted the worst looking "brick" wall for 20 minutes, worth it.

Go on a bike ride after snorting a fat line. No offense meant, just try it.

Merckx was caught with 3 different substances on 3 different occasions, I believe Cav is yet to be caught with anything.
Don't get me wrong, probably all of them were/are doping, and I do still think that what Merckx could achieve is absolutely incredible, but he's a bit of a bitter old cunt.

Well, if it is comfy and works well, why change it?

Just kidding, make it bling!

That's what I call a unique build, love it!

Thanks for supporting the plan! Main reason behind the idea is the shitty chainline (integrated cranks and vintage frames don't always mix perfectly).
Minor issue: I think I accidently threw out the stock XT chainrings that came with the crankset, so I have to buy new ones. I will go with 36-26 on the front and keep the 11-34 cassette for now.

Also, if anyone wants to sell a 94BCD 5 arm NW chainring (Stridsland, Wolf Tooth), I'm interested.

Looks fast! How much does it weigh?

Due to limited availability of the fully black version, I instead went for black-silver brake levers (they are surprisingly good quality and feel great). Tossed them on real quick, taped the bars and went for a test ride. So far so good, aesthetically nowhere near perfect due to the asymmetry of the single bar end shifter. However, I was already toying with the idea of going 2x... Maybe next month?
Since the weather is extremely atrocious I won't be riding much this week, but I hope to snap a few shots during the weekend.

As for the Minerva, I find the riding position quite odd after a certain time, the stem is a tad too long for these bars to be comfy - but it's so bling with the purple ano... I was trying to find bars with bigger backsweep and similar rise, but only huge, steel cruiser bars would fit, and I don't like that idea. So I gave in and will go for a shorter, silver Ergotec stem, that has the potential to look pretty good on the build. It has a 75mm total length, compared to the 115mm that's currently being used, and it's angled more upwards, so I believe it will do wonders with the fit.

Absolutely fantastic!
