Looking good BP. A pair of those bronze coloured GP4000 would look nice on that.

Kyuss, drink, next week? I'm horrifically behind with everything, but I've got some stuff for you that I need to chat about.

Wot bars is those Mr Puddin'?

Them's Nitto Raundoneur (their mis-spelling). Love the look of them, hope they live up to it in the ride....

Nah, Hubjub.

I only ask 'cos I ordered 2 of them from on-one, both in stock. And someone got one before they were dispatched.  >:(

Interestingly mine is destined to go on the front of my Kaffenback.

Interestingly mine is destined to go on the front of my Kaffenback.

One of the main reasons I went to Hubjub, even when Will makes mistakes (and he has with one thing I ordered) he's dead nice about it - love the Kaff frame, but in my experience Brant at On One is a bit of a spanner.

But yes, most important thing, I didn't steal your bars!

Pleased to hear it.  >:(  ;)

What stem/seat post are you using?

I need a new stem as the old one is for oversize bars, and my current black seat post ain't going to go with those bars is it.  ::-)

 ;D ;D ;D

I got an MTB stem from Wiggle (Raceface) for a steal (last one they had) that I'm going to try (partly cos good silver stems seem hard to come by!) and a 'Push' seatpost that I liked the look of (virtually no layback which I think should give the position I'm looking for).

I prefer Will to Brant everytime. Brant screwed up my Pompino order sold the frame to someone else.

Great guys, but they need to sort out their comms a bit as none of them seem to know what the others are doing / have dealt with / have not dealt with already.

Well being new to yacf, thought I might as well introduce myself here and stick a nice photo of my steed!  I'm focussing on Audax this year, hoping to do an SR this year, we'll see.  Previously have done a number of road races and sportive events, but nothing compares to the social aspect of Audax - I'm hooked!

My only road bike is a Sunday Silk Road - an absolute peach of a bike and soooo comfortable, handles like a dream - perhaps not ideal for Audax - but I love it anyway!  Here it is near the top of the Bwlch in South Wales, on Tuesday this week - and I'd only set off for an hour to Pontypridd and back  ;D

His n hers :)









Mine was (I think) one of the first audax frames.

I only used that red saddle the once.  Now using a Brooks, the seat post has been changed for an in line post and a new shorter stem has been fitted.

Tis a fine looking machine Annie!  And relatively rare (although two chaps on the FoD Classic Sportive had them and were also extremely happy).

I was thinking about fitting a Brooks as well, although my Arione is pretty comfortable.  Mind the most I've ever spent in the saddle was 10 hours on the Making Hay 200Km.  My rear might not be so happy after 15-16 this weekend :o

Next couple of purchases are a Brooks B17 as a test and also a Carradice Barley - whether it will look right with the modern look of the Silk Road - who knows?

Tis a Hope Hub, be warned though, they make a lot of noise if you freewheel.

The bags are Carradice Barley.

Nice bike and nice pictures Annie (do I spot a triple?!). Well equipped and looking fast too. Are they local to you? I have only recently heard of the brand and seen ads in the cycling press.

Brroks on such a machine Dodge!? Noooo...  :P
