Blocks and cables (brake & gear) fitted in 10m 13s - not too shabby.

^^^^
That really is a beaut

I especially like the forks & their "trail"

We will get some better pictures tomorrow when we might actually get a chance to ride it without biblical downpours.

Great! All you need now is properly matching leather brake hoods!

More seriously, we are looking forward to read your comments about the belt drives, the Rohloff, and all the rest!

That really is rather pretty. Tell me more about the paintjob? That sort-of-black-sort-of-grey in particular? Newly sprayed? By whom?

It's British Racing Green.
Mario of Vaz Cycle Finishes in Catford did it.
He also sourced the name badges.
I think he is a magician.

Saddles and bar tape aside (and, perhaps. bar geometry) I'm very jealous* and impressed.

Fantastic bike Marcus.

*Is that the right/correct word ?

Did the fireman come rushing in? From the pouring rain, very strange . . .

It's a PDW Alexander Graham Bell, Merlin had them in stock last time I looked. If not places like freshtripe sell them

It's got a lovely ding!

He was too busy keeping his fire engine clean. It's a clean machine...

I think "Battleship" grey and brown leather are a perfect combo.

Tempted to swap my black Brooks/tape for brown on my grey Condor Fratello.

You know you want to.

I de-blacked as much as possible on this. Just need skin wall tyres and gold/gum hudz. I've heard reports the hudz don't fit too well, that's putting me off a little.

I may even get cane creek gum levers and go to bar end shifters to get of the black levers

You know you want to. Or, even better, downtube levers...

I do have a pair of those bars but I couldn't see the swept back tops in the photo.

Is it me, or is that seat tube really relaxed?

Moose57 · « **Reply #7148 on:** 30 May, 2014, 01:36:19 pm »

About as relaxed as it can be without falling over.

Torslanda · « **Reply #7149 on:** 30 May, 2014, 08:14:21 pm »

Any more relaxed and it would be horizontal...
