Lovely bike

(not sure about the gold, but that's a matter of personal taste: I'm not a big fan of anything that colour)

That is very nice! What is it (and the hub)? Can't zoom the pictures on my iPad enough to see!

Ti frame made by Justin Burls of Harwich and Goldtecs hub built on Mavic Open Pro by Paul Hewitt.

Did you click on the photos to take you to the larger versions, or is that not possible on the ipad?

Eminently possible. Just didn't think to do it

Even nicer when viewed at full resolution!!

Very nice Adamski.

That's lovely!

Now get some bloody endcaps on those brake cables!

Chris N · « **Reply #731 on:** 15 January, 2012, 04:06:52 pm »

You don't think that the headset, spacers, stem and cables are a bit much?

bobb · « **Reply #732 on:** 15 January, 2012, 04:17:19 pm »

Blingtastic!

I assume mudguards will be going on? Bikes built with mudguard clearance without them look weird.

I also assume that those hideous handlebars are just a stop gap before you put on some proper, traditionally curved drops?

Apart from that - gorgeous!

Is that a custom Burls? What fork did you go for in the end - plenty of room for guards, I see (but I guess you're waiting 'til somebody makes them in gold

).

Hope you have many good rides on it

Nah. That's why I got a gold seatpost clamp too. It just needs some yellow handlebar tape

Yes, custom frame Justin Burls, who made the the whole process very easy. The fork is an Ambrosio Momentum, chosen so I can fit long drop brakes and mudguards (which I'll add once I've bought some - silver or black?).

It'll certain be coming out on various audax rides this season.

Too much shiny. I need to post a picture of my overworked old nag.

I like that muchly.Nicely understated to the point of being stealth-like

A bit of an update to the Langster. New bars on, swapped the drops for bullhorns. It's a bit mucky though.

They pay these teachers far too much, if you ask me.

(That is one gorgeous bike. Swoon.)

I'm too good for them to pay me what I'm worth.

(Thinks back to first year of teaching. Mmmm.)

I'm guessing every atom of that bike has been well grafted for.
