DR ◣◢ Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 See CRC lists them as "discontinued"... That sucks. Such great bars. Are both alu and carbon discontinued or just the carbon?

DR ◣◢ Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I just cried a little. Such amazing bars. Completely transformed my SS into an incredibly comfortable bike. Really is a shame.

Audible Anarchy Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 This is my first attempt at building a bike by myself. An old trek 4300 frame and fork i stripped and painted, new bb / crankset and headset succesfully installed thanks to google. rest are all old bits n bobs from the mancave / bike room. I have a dmr kit from diald bikes awaiting delivery and have a new chain waiting to get installed too. Cant believe how much i have learnt about bike maintenance from this really fun project. From Chainline and spindle width to sealed bearings, halflinks, 3/32 chains and crown races. Ive been able to service all my other bikes as a result too! i can highly recommend a similar project to anyone who loves bikes. Last step is to try and find some cheapie brakes. Anyone have a set of good v brakes and levers / old disc brakes (is mount - i have rotors) lying around i can buy? i have a set of unused road wheels off a scott (alex rims / shimano hubs - 10 spd shimano cassette) i can swop for something decent. Heres what she looks like so far - the jagerbomb. DR ◣◢ 1

Also have some v brakes and levers if you want...
Letum911 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hey guys, this is my new SS project. Its a Vacari frame, can someone maybe shed some light on the frame please? I bought it from a friend and according to him its an Italian hand made frame but he's not sure of the era it came from. Currently I mostly have shimano 600 componants on(came standard with the bike). But still have to change the front gear to a smaller one and repair the front brake and then start playing with the colours. RockCoach 1
CAAD4 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 So I have been scrounging parts for a project bike over the past few months. it's quite amazing what you do have lying around when you really dig through your stuff.
