The forks do definitely look bent (from head on crash). Take a tape measure or straight edge and hold it in line with the stem and head tube and look if the top half of the fork blades is in line. And the frame size is too small as well, which I suspect is the reason why the original forks are not being used.

Nice primulas...

Never mind the forks. I know oval chainrings are all the rage these days, but oval wheels?

Now that is an optical illusion, they are much more hexagonal than that, 700A/F. Beautiful plumage though.

Having initially built this up with flat bars I have had a change. Nitto randoneurs and Dura ace shifters. Merlin were doing the shifters with all cables for £187 only a few quid more than 105s without cables. Feels v comfy.

I hope you like it, I feel like putting my tent on and going somewhere.

Very nice.

Why the change from flats to drops? Not inferring criticism (I like both) - just curious.

bloomers100 · « **Reply #6283 on:** 28 April, 2013, 01:36:16 pm »

The flats never felt right, and didn't really give enough accommodation on the longer rides particularly on windy fens.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #6284 on:** 28 April, 2013, 03:29:19 pm »

That's the main reason I like drops for long distance rides - allows you to get down lower and fight a headwind.

It's so nice that I overcame my aversion to pink and took it for a spin round the block!

(Well, you can't see the pink when you're riding it

)

What are those brakes? And do they work?

The fleet

tidy. the first three are quite similar - road bikes, triple chainset, no 'guards - could swap one for a tourer/folder/mtb

.... agreed, other than the material that the frames are made of.....
Tourer? MTB? I Wouldn't have a use for either.
Folder, I would consider.
